Anybody ever try this? I don't know of any aftermarket heavy build coating that can duplicate the thickness or texture of the factory undercoating/sound deadener. I need to spray the quarters (inside trunk area) on my '70 Cuda as the orig. coating is falling off & losing it's adhesion after 40 years. Plus, after the car is finished, I'm going to spray the rear tubs & front fenderwells like factory. I'll have a pro do this with all the right application equipment so I get a heavy buildup.
What do you guys think? Also, can this stuff be painted over after it cures?

I've been using spray-on bedliner for the last few cars I've done for my cars and customers cars,...I like the results much better than "regular" undercoating......more expensive than undercoating, but offeres better protection IMHO, dosen't collect road dirt, dosen't fade out in "color"....easy to clean, and dosen't get softened or gooed if subjected to solvents, brake fluid, tranny fluid, gear oil, etc....IMHO I'd never go back to using undercoating again regardless of the brand/application

I've tried Body Schutz & it is fairly heavy build, but smoother & not as thick as the OE stuff. There's NO WAY you can get the heavy buildup like the factory stuff (1/4" thick?) out of a spray can or conventional sprayers. There's 2 things almost impossible to duplicate to the factory: thickness & texture. That's why I'm hoping the Rhino bedliner spray-on route.
I'm going with black, just like factory. He!!, I'd like to do this in white on my basement walls too. It would look good plus it would be a good Radon barrier & insulator. I wonder if it would adhere well to concrete? It would be very expensive I would guess, plus I don't know if they could do it portable???
