Underbody Finish Suggestions

Post by millerguy76 »

I'm looking for some ideas on how to finish the undercarriage/underbody of my J10. I'm talking about the bottom side of the floorpan. This doesn't include the frame. That is powder coated and removed from the truck right now.
So I'm laying on my back and starting to remove the rubber coating that was applied by the factory. I'm doing my best but don't think I'll be able to remove every bit of it. There are too many nooks and crannies that I can't get into.

So getting to my question, Any ideas how to refinish the underside of my cab + truck bed + fender wells??? I do not want to use a rubberized coating. Whatever I lay down, direct to the surface has to be able to adhere to bare metal, painted metal and in some spots, the residual OE coating. It also has to be paintable as I'd like to lay a smooth satin black over it.

Thanks

Have you looked at Eastwood? They have various coatings that would suit your needs. Spensive place but would give you ideas.

True. How about tcpglobal.com? That's where I get paint.
