Undercoated Wheel Wells Today

[Dzlbudman]

I undercoated my rear wheel wells today.. I was going to go with the liners but decided to go this route today.. 45$ later at wally world I walked out with five cans uf rustoleum rattle can undercoating. 2 hrs later and a pissed off GF its finish and it looks amazing. Longest part was the prep then sprayed away. Im going to see how long this lasts before I paint it so it stays shiny. I would recomend this to anyone. Very easy to do.

Thanks

I just did mine again this year, I just did them last year. But from my house to black top its 4 miles, so throughout the year they get gravel thrown at them alot. They held up well but in the rears where the rocks constantly are hitting they wore through. So I re-coated them and put extra on, so will see how it holds up as well. If you don't drive on gravel you will be fine I am sure.

i used black rustoleum for my wheel wells to about a month and a half ago, did 2 coats of black, and i have yet to see a chip of paint yet.

5 cans??? Holy crap. I think I used 2 on my 2000 when I did it. How thick did you put it on?

What did you do to prep for the undercoating? A cleaner/degreaser or something like that? I've been wanting to do it to mine also.

I did mine, but used the herculiner do it yourself bed liner material. This stuff coats really well and wears like the bed liner, so does not peel or chip. Got a can from local parts store for $45 bucks.

Here are some photos when I did my 2000. Basically cleaned it real good then scuffed it all up with some scothbrite. Put some drop cloth around the body so I didnt get any overspray. Not to bad but I would suggest taking your time.

 

I went the easy route on the 2010 and got the plastic liners (last pic) with the protection pkg

Yea five cans! haha I wanted it on there as thick as I could. I used a scotch brite pad to scuffin it up and mineral spirits to clean before spraying. I could have gotten away with 3 cans but I has already bought 5 so I just used it. Covered up all the globs that I screwed up. Ha! Looks awsome I acutally got some compliments today from a couple people. It's amazing how many other people look at that stuff besides me. Just looks finished now instead of un-finished. Well worth the time and money...

Did it to mine this past summer with the 3M stuff. I will have to do it again next summer cause i already see where the rocks have been hitting it and where the white paint shows through. I thought about maybe using a heat gun to try to hardin it quicker and better then just leaving it sit for a while, will that help? If nothing else i figured i would just get the plastic wheel well liners.
