I have painted the underside of my car with Eastwood's Cahssie Black paint. the problem is, its really soft.

I scraped and aircraft strippered and wire bruished the underside of my car down to bare metal (was that ever fun) and then cleaned it and painted it. It was my understanding that Chassie Black was supposed to be some tough stuff. I put on 2 coats. I can scratch it off easily with my finger nail, 2 days later.

What gives? Is the paint soft? Should I bite the bullet and repaint with bedliner or something?

I also have Eastwoods Rust Converter and Rust Encapsulator. I used the converter sunday on a few spots, and then put a coat of Encapsulator over that. My plan was then to paint the entire engine bay in Chassie Black, but if the paint sucks, I guess I'll have to find somehting else.

...I painted the undercarriage (POR15) of my car mid-December. My car resides in a tarp enclosure so the temperature almost matches the outside temp. It was around 50 degress +or- at night but the days were still pretty warm.

I noticed it cured much slower than the stuff I did back in August. Humidity was my problem....I think, but it did eventually set up just fine. Just took a little bit longer with out the best environment.

No answer for Eastwood's product, just my own experience....
