Anyone know of a wheel well undercoating in an aerosal can with wide spray application? I am looking to respray the front wheel wells in my Daytona. Since the car has an older restoration and shows "driving" conditions, I'm just looking to spruce things up a little in there. The restorer of the car back in '94 scraped most of the undercoating off from the front inner wheel well and I'm looking to reapply a coat...
Thanks in advance..

I would suggest you re think that, invest in (link) A Cheap undercoating gun, and buy some of Resto Ricks stuff. It's an easy job to do right.
I second that. easy to apply and looks OEM.

what about freshening up an area that's already undercoated?

For me, I'm just trying to freshen up and existing older restoration. Full-meal deal can happen when the day comes along to repaint the car..

Just remember how hard it is to remove.... I have spent about 10 hours over the last three days and have not even got the rear wheel houses done. Somewhere there is a person walking around Hamtramck laughing his butt off knowing he spent 5 minutes to spray on what would take 5 weeks to remove someday.

You need one of these grasshopper! 3 hours and my Duster was squeaky clean, super hot water and pressure, ZERO scraping, all undercoating GONE!

I just had my convertible done, and they used walnut shells to take that off. It took them about 10 minutes to do each rear wheel housing. Then they went and hit it with glass beads. Wow, it is now so nice (and done!)
When they went inside the rear quarters, they used the walnut shells again. It blew out that sound deadener. I wanted it out, as I did not trust that there was no rust lurking beneath it.
Walnut shells are wicked. They will leave some of the paint behind when taking the coating off.

Scott, guessing you did the pressure washing before you had the body stripped down to bare metal.
Yes, however, you could mask off the rest of the car with plastic to keep it dry. Also, even if you don't get it wet, you'll need to prep it again (Metal etch, etc.) before priming of you'll have micro rust on your seemingly "clean" new bare metal which can lead to nasty paint problems later on..
