has anyone ever sprayed rhino bedliner material to the underside of a chevelle to take place of undercoating. Stuff seems to be bulletproof and resembles undercoating a little. considering doing this on my 67.

Thanks

67ss in process of frame off
great site with lot of helpful posts and great people

No, but I bet it would cause damage if moisture gets in there. Get your car shooted with Krown or RustCheck or some other oil. It will the job.

I sprayed mine with Morton Bedcoat,not the 2 part catylst system-they have a version that can be mixed 50/50 with laquer thinner and it lays down smooth like paint and is tough as nails

I put Rhino Lining on the underside of my 71'. The results are GREAT! If you do this remember to take your seats out and remove you emergency brake retainers, also mask off your fuel and brake lines. Once this stuff is sprayed it's on for good. If you leave any fastners under the car and they get covered then you will have to cut them off if you ever need to remove them.

thanks guys since my care is pretty much off frame and stripped i thought this would be a good idea since it is so durable. i think that I can keep the moisture out of it. but steve does it collect dirt or hard to clean??my 67 will be a sunday driver only and show car but just wondering if it cleans easy.

Thank for the info guys
Jamie

Actually, my body guy was asking me if he could do the same thing. The floor pans have a little too much pitting(pin holes now that they have been media-blasted) to paint body color without some sealer. I wondered if the rhino liner would seal and/or would it flake off eventually?

So far the undercoating is holding up very well. I have cleaned it several times and had no problems. I am lucky and have access to a lift, so I just raise the car up and scrub the underside with hot soapy water and a shop broom. Rinse and let dry.

Thanks everyone I think this is the way to go I just hope that it dont hurt the value of my ss because they say once that stuff is on there it aint comin' off.

Thanks

JC if you do it,do it for your our piece of mind.Just remember the car is only worth what someone will pay for it. Unless of course you keep it,enjoy it and hang around in parking lots down south at hotels swillin a bunch of suds w/the boys(which of course is MY plan no matter what this year http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif ).

I did the majority of my undercoating on the 66 before it went to the body shop. I was also able to do it off the frame which made it a whole lot easier. I have a Eastwood undercoating system and it works great. The only thing that may put you in a panic is it does not dry quick. The undercoating I got from Eastwood tooks a couple of days to dry really hard. Before the body man got it, I Slimed the whole underside to avoid overspray.
