Color Matched Undercoating?

Post by Veedubber63 »

Is there an undercoating for like the fenderwells that can be color matched to the body color? I want something more durable the paint under the fenders and fenderwells on my bug but I don't like the idea of using the standard black. Anybody have any ideas on what I can use?

Thanks,

J.W.

There is a product out there like that, I saw it used on the show "American Hotrod". They undercoated the bottom of a 56 chevy then they painted it the color of the car. The coating was black and they painted it red, looked really good. Not sure what its called or who makes it, but it is out there.

Hi 69veedub,

Thanks for the info. maybe I can find out something from American Hotrod. If I find anything I'll post it here for everyone to know about.

Thanks again,

I saw a rock crawling truck shot underneath with Line-X that was color matched to the body. Really looked nice and is bulletproof. Can't be cheap though...

I know line-X can color match your paint...

I believe they were using a House of Kolor Product for that american hotrod episode... I could be wrong

I believe the 3M Body Shutz undercoating that I mentioned in a previous post can be painted with your body color. (no I don't work for 3M :-) Just allow it to dry thouroughly & shoot it with single-stage gloss - I wouldn't build it up with base-coat clear-coat, as that will make it chip eaisly.
Personally I like the look of black under the fenderwells, looks clean & dosen't detract from the glossy body.
