I had the neighbor spray the underside last night. They used a topcoat of kevlar clear so it would keep its shine. They did an excellent job.

The engine bay looks so nice too

The finish is finer than they do for truckbeds and it is very consistant

Hi Billy,

That looks fantastic.

Why stop there? Do the whole car, never have to worry about those pesky rock chips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

The guys at the LineX place have a pickup they did. They can do different textures and the trucks body lines are done with different styles. They said they were going to do the dash next. For a truck, it works.

By the way, I only have to worry about rock chips if I drive the car!

Wow, Billy. I really like the look of that. You shouldn't have to worry about rust anymore either.
Can we asked how much they charged to do that?

Good friends and they have been watching me work on my car for years. $600. They taped the car off and it took them about two hours to complete that part. The spray took about a hour. Lots of time in making sure all the surfaces were covered.

what did you do for surface prep to ensure lasting adhesion and prevent rust encapsulation?

Well, it isn't original... (said in my best CW voice) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Very cool... That is going to be one sharp car.

Do you happen to know about how much weight was added? I only ask because my friend had his Suzuki Samurai sprayed with the same except it's all over the body. It added almost 500lbs to the weight of his rig. by the way, that looks really nice!

Answers,

Rust prevention - Media blasted to bare metal and then coated with an industrial 2 part paint, then the bed liner and the kevlar clear. The car has been indoors for years so I did'nt lock in any mosture.

I don't know how much weight it added, but I'll find out. I don't think its that much. Its not like spraying tar or a heavy material.

Someday I hope to have one of my ads posted to the Best of Craigslist. An interesting title is so important on Craigslist.

500# Doubtful. This took what 2 gallons of material? Did you consider doing the inside of the cabin as well to prevent water from sitting on the tin and exposed seams as well?

When the car is complete and you finally get it in the hermetically sealed display case you'll probably build for it, will we be able to come up and see the car sometime? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

What is "Kevlar clear"?

Is it a brand name?

That looks terrific and I know from experience that stuff is tough to scratch. I wonder if it comes in colors? I am still looking for a suitable 6 to build and love seeing these great ideas.

If you promise not to put fingerprints on the glass case.
