I have seen people rolling or painting on a black undercoating material. Does anybody know what the best product is for this?

I use Herculiner

Likewise, and used a roller. Much less mess and cleaning than spraying.

I've used Herculiner and then switched to Duplicolor Bed Armor (same end result as Herculiner but an easier clean up) but now use U-Pol Raptor and will never go back. It's a catalyzed two component product and the best by far. I spray it on but if you don't have the ability to do that it can also be rolled/brushed.

My 33 is coated with Raptor, it was sprayed.

I am flirting with the idea of using some of the dynomat that I have left over and lining the underside of the wheel well with it before coating with bed liner. I am not sure if would hold long term. Going to goof around with it. May end up being a fools errand

On my old build, I used rust-oleum truckbed liner, then I used Heculiner. I hated it, very difficult to get the coverage I wanted, won't use that again

X4 or whatever on UPOL Raptor. Used them all and then this. Won't go back.

I used Herculiner on my first build and applied Herculiner on the current build last Friday. I'm happy with it but then, I've never used anything else.:rolleyes:

I'd think that would work well for this type of thing. after all its not like your doing this for rust prevention.

Raptor is high quality stuff, and comes with the spray gun. If you have an air compressor that can handle it, that’s the way to go.

Ok thanks for the responses. How much do I need for one car?

... How much do I need for one car?

When sprayed a Raptor gallon kit (which is 96 ounces of product + 32 ounces of hardener) will do a full heavy coat on the entire underbody plus a second coat in the wheelwell areas and leave enough material to do the wheel side of the aluminum splash panels.

I believe this is what was used on mine—a two part system: https://www.icrgladiator.com

I used Raptor (2-part) and rolled it on the inverted body. After drying I positioned it back on the buck and crawled under. Had a bud shine a focused light from outside close to the gelcoat and man! Did I really miss that much? Mostly thin spots and a bunch of pin holes. Touched up using the light as a tell tale. Great hack.
