trunk undercoating

  • What product are folks using when they put in the undercoating on the inside of the rear quarters? Orginally the undercoating looked bumpy and then was painted over with body color, I think.

    Was there other places that the factory used undercoating? Thanks, and have a great holiday.

  • Yes - true - mostly for sound deadening.


    I'd like to know too - looks really thick and hard to duplicate.


    Maybe the resto magic of Caspian65 can help?

  • Products used are as different as the restorers. Unfortunately no current product that I know of reacts with the top coat (exterior color) like the original. Add to this that allot of current legal products are difficult to get to the thickness of the original stuff since second and third coats (to build the thickness and texture) many times dissolves earlier coats


    Guns to apply the products are pretty pricey and can effect which product you choose. Some options include the Wurth product, Fusion, Sludge.....


    At least 50% of a correct job is the technique (as usual) So look at a number of original examples from you car's assembly plant and build period.


    It's a start

  • on my son's '66

    we painstakingly scraped all this undercoating off

    thinking it was not original!<img src=images/icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

    now i have a feeling it was

    and we should have left it there

    and simply painted over it
