Default C4 Undercoating

I'm about to finish the floor repairs on my 90 vert.

I had to grind through the undercoating to get to parent material
on the exterior, and the stuff is some kind of epoxy, I think.

It is definitely not asphalt or rubber based.

I've called Chris May, in addition to Bill Heard, and neither of them is familiar with it.

The local auto paint outlet doesn't know either.

Does anybody on the forum have experience with the stuff?

I would like to keep the underside from looking like it's obviously been repaired.

Thanks in advance, folks.:o

(I've also posted this on the Tech/Perf Forum but no bites, so far.)

could it be that someone did a repair to it in the past?

I would compare another to yours... take some pics.

my undercarriage has no undercoating at all. I have debated doing Rhino-lining, tho.

My 92 vert has undercoating not covering the whole bottom of the car.

I repaired my floor & sprayed it with some undercoating from a spray can . I've had the stuff for 20 yrs & finally found a need for it. Where I purchased it from I can't remember Old CRS again.

I think it only covers the cabin floor components.

Right, Its a sound deadener.

Yankees undercoat steel cars to slow down the rust process. Not Vettes!
