Undercoating a vehicle is tricky because the things you need to paint are sometimes hard to reach. You can easily paint anything that sits right in front of you. Ok, you’re thinking obviously I’ll be coating the underside with something, so what is it? Gloss Black Rustoleum. Well what if I told you that there is an effective, cheap, long term method of undercoating that not only looks good, but you can do yourself in one afternoon for about $40. But if you’re like me, you’d rather do-it-yourself if you can. You can spend hundreds on a “professionally” applied undercoating. That is unless you do something about it. Right now the underside of your vehicle looks as good as it’s ever going to look. Here’s the thing, I got bad news for you. This stuff is hell on the underside of your vehicle because it accelerates the rusting process. Long drawn out winters with roads covered in sodium chloride, otherwise known as nasty, vehicle eating, crushed rock salt carved out of underground mines. Oxidation is synonymous with corrosion, which literally means your metal is disappearing! You people who live in the rust belt know what I’m talking about. The problem with rust is it’s oxidation of your iron and steel parts thanks to moisture and oxygen. Surface rust creeping around, in the cracks, on the welds, on the castings. But there’s probably rust here and there. If you’re lucky, it’s doesn’t look too bad right now. Look around at the suspension components, frame, bolts, drive shafts, everything metal.
