I plan on pressure washing the underside of my car, and painting it all black. So my question is, who has done this or something like it? (ie painting, undercoating, etc) Would like to see your results. Pics are very welcome!

I wiped down the old undercoat I had on there with thinner to clean the dirt off and used Duplicolor truck bed liner on mine.
I still have to clean & repaint the rear, tq arm & drive shaft plus a few other misc things.
Here's the only pic I have of underside...

I have yet to undercoat it, but I plan to clean it and put POR-15 on it in the spring. Go to www.por15.com for more info. I ordered two of their starter kits for about $30 I think and I'm going to use it on my underbody and wheel wells to prevent rust.

I will have to throw up some pics on Monday. I don't have my disk with the good shots. I cleaned the underside and shot it with Duplicolor sound Eliminator and undercoating. So now it is black with red suspension pieces and gas tank. Soon we are going to replace the rear end with a disk rear with 373 gears. It will be red along with the Soon to get aluminum(next 2 weeks, I hope)drive shaft, torque arm and transmission (gonna put a shift kit in anyway, so while its out!)

If you do undercoat it I recomend painting back over it. My undercoating was messy to deal with, esp when changing the fuel filter!

By the way that exhaust looks awesome!

I ordered mandrel bends & straight pipe & made the exhaust excluding the tips. Clearance is just as good as a 3" single and it doesn't rub or drag anything.

I love that exhaust. I just wish there was a good way to run cats with it.

Ok here you go. Be prepared for some road grime. Now the car had not been detailed in this shot. I was getting the subframes installed and decided to shoot some pics. At the TA nats I got under the car while it was on the trailer and touched up stuff I could not reach before. It was scrubbed and repainted. So in other words it looks better now then in these shots.

Driveshaft looks nasty!

Here is up front. Man you can tell on the passenger side I had an issue with the coolant. The return hose to the radiator coolant reservoir got nicked at a show in fl and sprayed the bay down. When I go with an LT1, I'm going to a tubular crossmember. Yes it will be red...
