A few more steps completed on my way to final paint!
I stripped the underside to bare metal, primed with metal etch and then used a product from U-pol for undercoating. It's actually a urethane based bedliner material and has a little sound deadening quality to it. Best part is I think it will outlast fossil fuels before it ever rusts again! Here's a couple pics of the undercoating process: |

The liner product is called "Raptor" from U-pol. I purchased it from the supply house I get my paints from, but I've seen it on e-bay. It goes about 100 bucks for a kit with applicator gun (shutz gun). I used two kits with a quart left over. As far as paint $$, yup it's expensive. I'm using Glasurit product and it's nice stuff. Really nice high build easy sanding primer and the silver and clear seem easy to work with. I do need to get a slower reducer though, it's got a little orange peal to it.
