I cant help myself and didnt want the hit and miss undercoat on bottom of
underfloor. I could have bought a can of 3M Body Schutz and added more
but chose not to... I'm still not sure what I want for a finished look ...
I'll see how I like the SPI Epoxy Black (semi gloss Im told) and will use UPOL Raptor in Rear Wheel House if not entire under floor (??)
I'm absolutely nutz fro doing this on a car that nobody (but myself)
will care about nor bother to look at....Some peoples mental illnesses
are different than others !!!!!!!!!!
After struggling laying on my back with body on a cart that I built
I now have body on my rotator that I removed another body from.
Other than alot of hard elbow work its NOW going alot easier and faster.
Inverting the body is EVERYTHING in terms of soaking the undercoating
and ease of access.
I would not recommend doing this ugly job without the use of a rotissieri.
Im using a commercial heat gun to soften and putty knife/wire brush to scrape.
The sand/media blaster that Im using wont remove undercoating as he says it
contaminates the sand/media that he recycles and sprays/blasts with again....
leaving black stains on metal that will impact another customers prime/paint process.
Im still interested in hearing from others who have done this and how they prepped
the previously undercoated surface for new primer...
I'm planning to scuff Norwood Red Oxide with scotchbrite after washing with Dawn and
Hot Pressure washer........
Thanks
