fender undercoating

Post by Ralph F » Sat Jan 09, 2021 6:51 pm

I have to repaint the bottoms of the fender on my 15 touring car. I was wonder what other folks have done, not looking for a show car finish. I drive a lot of dirt and gravel roads here in Vt.
Thanks
Fitz

Spray on bed liner by Dupli-Color, Good Stuff! If you have access and the fenders are removed upside, use Raptor by Upol.

I have used “3M rubberized undercoating” which is black and, not only seals the underside from rust causing elements, but soundproofs from road noise, while also preventing damage to the underside of the vehicle by pebbles and rocks which just bounce off. Jim Patrick

I used the material panel shop/car manufacturers apply to the rocker panes on modern cars. It can be top coated with whatever paint you use for the finish on the vehicle. I do not know US brand names for this product.
