Hello everyone, well i have set up my 79 vette to paint the brake calipers. Well I was wondering if anyone has undercoated their wheel wheels like with 3M rubberized undercoating? I would like to know if this is a good idea or not...I want a clean look in my wheel wells....let me know guys..thank u

I used the 3M rubberized undercoating on my wheel wells and underneath the floorboards after I repainted. I like the dulled finish and it seems to help cut down on road noise.

The 3M product was very easy to apply, I think I used 2-3 cans

I did the same and sprayed the entire underbody while it was up on the body dolly

I used three tubes of black 100% silcone caulk per each wheel well. I put it on with my hands using rubber gloves, then textured it with my fingers--a skill I learned in kindergarden. It dries very quickly.

After 2 years it still looks nice and black. It was shinny at first, but the dulling of fine particals gave it a nice flat black look. It is also much much thicker then spray on--I never hear rocks/water hitting inside the wheel wells anymore.

I recently had to remove some of it to get to the core support bolts, and it peeled of in one clean piece exposing the bolts in pristine condition.

I just did mine about a week ago. I don't know why I waited so long to do it. It really makes a difference.

I did the rear. It's been a year or since I done it. I did tape off the area to be be sprayed. In my opinion it turned out real nice. I was at Carlisle a couple of years ago and looked at several of the cars forsale. Many on them had been undercoated. They sprayed the stuff over the frame instead of taping it. I thought it looked horrible that way. If you're going to do a job, might as well try and do it right.

i added an additional step: topcoat with krylon fusion
