This stuff is foul (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) . Took me hour and a half to remove the undercoat in the front left wheel well. The stuff was old and crunchy, so I just kind of chiseled it off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) . Once I get it all off, should i leave it bare, or paint it. If I do paint it, would you say black por-15, or somethijng else?

I had some luck with softening the undercoating with gentle application of a heat gun.

My car having been in the midwest, there were several layers of the stuff. I think the DAPO was a little over-zealous.

I didn't remove all of it, though, just where I needed to do some welding. I covered the area with POR-15, and then topped it with 3M spray undercoating.

Good luck,
Rusty
