I'm at a point where I have to touch-up or refinish in it's entirerty the underside of my 86 Sport Coupe.
I like the idea of the factory paint however I also like the preserving quality of a good rust paint.
Let's see pictures of some detailed chassis.

 

Why not use some kind of under coating? Dont they use salt on the roads up there? Or I have heard of some useing spray on truck bed liner and have seen on the internet that you can also have it in almost any color.

 

I always use bedliner:

 

I used por-15 on mine. Sorry I have no pics.

 

That is what I am looking to do, sometime down the road. That is a damn nice jod, and looks suoper clean.
How much did it put you back?

 

just what the bedliner cost, 1 large can and I have a bunch left.

 

It DOES look clean.
I assume you had removed all the little bits and pieces prior to paint?
The only drawback that I can imagine with the bedliner is that it's thickness would prevent full seating of bolt on components like the trans crossmember and lower control arms.
Or was that not an issue?

 

Yes, completely stripped, all the underbody goop removed w/ kerosine, then a light scotchbrite w/ degreaser/paint prep and then sprayed on the bedliner.

The thickness is no issue, I had everything off, and everything goes back together just fine.

 

Something I'll definitely consider.
Thanks.

 

I like body color myself.

 

Yes but if the climate is like it is here that won't stay like that for long.

Sure looks awesome & clean. Nice!!!
