Quote: Underside shot, after this shot they did a (very small) bit of touch up in a few spots adding paint to make it match the original over spray
What was the point of spraying the bottom black? Why did the factory do that? If it was undercoating, I could understand why but why black paint?
The factory didn't actually PAINT the bottom of the car black. The bottom of the car was dipped into a tank of a protective coating that was black or dark gray. That is why our cars have all those drain holes in the floor pans and frame rails.
