I need an underbody solution. I've got the body on a rotisserie, the underside is sandblasted, no primer yet.
The underside needs to be a show quality finish. Lots of choices in products but I need the assistance of experience and I have none at doing this.
Prime before undercoating? Intuition says yes but I think an undercoat might stick better to a sandblasted surface.
Prime and paint before undercoating? Seems like the undercoat would not stick as well. I'm thinking this is probably not the best thing to do.
Paint over the undercoat? Flexible undercoat with paint over the top could crack the paint every time it gets impacted by road debris. Flexitive perhaps?
I found a pretty glossy undercoat but it's not like paint. I saw Boyd's paint over the undercoat on the red 'Junk Yard Dog' 56 chevy. Hmmmmmm???
Perhaps a good painted surface is enough? I plan on driving the car. Rock chips & moisture will hit it sooner than later.
What do you guys do? Anyone have the difinitive solution? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
