Default Quick Question

I’m not trying to kid my self, The car will not be a stock car with matching #.
So the next option is custom

With that said I did one of the wheel wells & wanted to ask what you all think?

This is what I did:
Wire brushed it, Wire wheeled it, blew all the dirt off & painted it with undercoating.

What I want to know is, would you all take the old undercoating off then put the new on?

If it stayed put when you wire-brushed it, I'd leave it alone. If it's flaking off, better get all the loose stuff off first.

as long as it didn't flake off I'd leave it as is. It looks great. be sure to mask it off before paint, i forgot to mask my wells and ended up having to redo them all again.

Personally, if I got any undercoating off, I would leave it off and not add more. Thank God my Bubba didn't undercoat my Vette.

So far so good,

I did pick & scraped all the stuff that was flaking off before painting it.
