Undercoating

We used asphalt-based undercoating to mimic the original undercoating used on our car.

We thoroughly masked the car and lifted it with a forklift to access the underside.

We sprayed the entire underside of the car and select areas in the engine bay. The thick texture of the new undercoating was a nice match to the original undercoating, which also had a very thick and splattery texture.

Although the finish dulled out after drying, the texture remained.

After much debate, we decided to undercoat the upright bars after looking at original photos. We also sprayed over our mask lines and the top and sides of the fender wells to match the original sloppiness. Although hesitant at first, we thought it looked much more original than before!

This photo shows an example of original undercoating on the upright bars and the sides of the fender.

This photo shows how inconsistent and sloppy the original undercoating was. Look at how all-over-the-place the firewall undercoating is!
