Well I went and bought some undercoating today to do the frame and wheel wells. It's 40some degrees here. Do you think it would be alright to do it, or is it way too cold? The can says 70degrees, but if I spray it and then just leave it sit there for the rest of the day do u think it will be fine or should I just wait for warmer weather?
you might be ok. its usually best to put that stuff on at round 70 degrees with low humidity. especially since that crap is so thick. just do a few really thin coats of it otherwise it will NEVER dry. I've heard complaints from people about how their undercoating didn't dry for a few days or more. its because they just went crazy and sprayed and sprayed until it starts to drip. undercoating takes a while to dry. if youre in no hurry i would wait till it gets a little warmer i would make sure you break off any loose rust and dirt. give it a good scrub with some soap and dry it off.
Yeah I figured it would be best to wait, but the GF is outta town today and have some time so I went and bought the stuff. But I'll just be safe and wait til it warms up a lil more. I just wanna start doing some stuff to the truck but the weather is holding me up haha.
i hear ya man. im waiting for it to warm up to so i can finish my underbody. its getting warmer but knowing michigan well get snow next week lol.
Duplicolor Rubberized Undercoating. I think thats what it was. I was bored and I did a quick job on it lol. Just a light coat. I just did the frame and inside the wheel wells. I'm sure it's gonna wear off right away because it probably won't be able to dry. But it kept me busy for a while. I'll do a good job on it once the weather gets nice. That was like $4 a can, so I'm sure there's some better stuff out there.
If I remember I'll take a pic tomorrow. It will probably look like crap cuz it was a light coat and I did a fast job.
