Quality Repair.

[E5 Charger]

Nice work! What did you use on the inside of the fenders? Do you usually spray undercoating or a bed liner?

[green69rt]

Did you spray the Undercoating directly on the metal or prime first?

[hemi-hampton]

I usually use Undercoating But the Boss wanted me to use Raptor Bedliner. Which I guess came out OK. The back of fenders had factory black primer mostly there, so I sanded backs with 150 grit & then spraybombed any bare metal spots with self etching primer & then Bedlined. Not how I would usually do it but being low budget thats what you get. LEON.

I was doing a small project on a lawnmower.  For fun really.

I wanted to use spray on bed liner.  I was told at the store, on the back of the bottle, and from the tech line that it needs to be sprayed on a factory finish.

Leon,

I realize that Raptor Liner does not really look like undercoating, but do you feel it is a quality product?  I see that 3M has a bedliner that is also epoxy based. That sounds like the best of both worlds to me.  Have you ever used it?

[hemi-hampton]

The only thing I don't like about this stuff is maybe someday down the road in like 10 or 20 years somebody might want this stuff removed & it will not be easy. Being in the resto Business do you know how many times I had somebody come in with a Earl Scheib Maaco cheapy job where somebody will undercoat a rusty Trunk floor & then want me to remove it & paint trunk floor. Not a easy job. LEON.

I can understand what you say.  I am making my decision purely on a protective standpoint and I figure some SPI epoxy with a few coats of the 3m Autbody coating.  Here is a link:

I never used any SPI or that 3M Autobody coating. This stuff (bedliner) dries pretty hard. I think it would give better protection & durability then regular undercoating. LEON.

Should be Painting tomorrow finally. LEON.

It's a 66 Nova SS with 350 horse L-79. I painted it a 66 GM Color called Danube blue, Code EE in 66 or code #WA3302 in todays translation. Color is not exactly stock though, It did not have enough Pop or Wow factor for him So the fine Metallic in formula was replaced with PRLX2 Silver Pearl & the medium metallic replaced with DMD650 Course metallic for that extra Pop & Wow factor in sunlight.
