    ps chassis saver is good too, same spec as por-15 but abot 15 bucks cheaper give or take...

    if you do this make sure you degreese the area and use their self etching,,prep is the key to something working correctly and holding up for years

    What are you payng for a gallon of POR 15?
    And its not the same spec.
    And you dont need to use any eching product.
    Clean and spray.

    RE-read what I posted.. I said chassis saver is the same spec as por-15, but a bit cheaper in price compared to por- 15.

    I'm not selling anything.

    and shaneb mentioned the correct products for the prep..marine clean..as in to degreese..and i'm sure the etching was the metal prep..which should be used on new metal or bare grinded smooth metal. puts a zinc etched finish on smooth metal so the product can adhere to the surface..

    Nothing wrong with a quality undercoating as long as it is sprayed over a properly prepared surface. Fwiw

    Undercoating works fine but as mentioned, removing is a mess when you need to weld or etc. If you miss any spots you leave areas for water to get in and sit (behind the undercoat).

    Mine is done with Primer, Rustoleum flat black enamel, and covered with truck bed coating.

    Tar is a cheaper alternative and holds up better then rubberized undercoating, it smells and is a mess though :)

    My buddy did this to his 69 Camaro. It's tough stuff and he said it cut road noise and exhaust noise down significantly.

    I think there both really good, rust bullet, POR15. They only reviews I found that had customers complaining are the ones that didnt prep the body right. Everyone else said they were both great. A lot of people have said Rust Bullet goes on easier than POR15. I think I might go with what ever is cheaper between the two.:huh: LOL. What have you guys done to remove all the crud from the bottom of your car?

    I used Greased Lighting, a bug sprayer and garden hose. Both of my old cars didn't have undercoating...just years of grease and grime.

    I will definetely try the propane tank and see how it works. Im guessing just go over it a few times heat it up and scrap it off and then as you mentioned use the wire grinder to get to shiny metal?
