3M Underbody Spray..

[Eric VerValin]

Anyone else used this stuff? Sure made the underside look a lot cleaner... looks good against the newly silver painted control arms, strut rods, hub assemblys, calipers, rotors, **** u name it.... Supposed to help quiet the interoir too. At the rate I'm going it might be 5 cans worth, about 20 bux... I'd call that a nice investment?! If anyone lives where it snows.. I bet you might agree? I also did notice a few spots of body rust.. anyone have a good way to patch a few holes? Thx

make sure you sand down the rust and not just cover it with the undercoat because it will keep on rusting underneath it. thats stuff dosent fix rust but it protects against it forming. you probaly know that already but i'm just making sure.

oh yes i did forget to mention, I did hit all that with a wire brush and then used a special 'rust inhibitor' something like that.. forgive me i drank a lil last night.. lol but it supposed to stop it then i put that on top. Hopin it helps.. I'm suprised it really dosent look like its been in the midwest for 15 years.. lol

i remember using undercoat for the first time the whole drive train was black on the truck it looked cool. i though it would fix rust it didn't the rust came out in unusual large pieces.

I used a spray can of chromate zinc stuff , before the primer for my subframe. It neutralizes the metal keeping it rust free for a couple years i guess

I have not used it on the bottom of the SHO, however i did coat my subframe with it. Works like a charm. And looks good to boot.
