I was wanting to paint the underside of this car but i'm going to drive it and was thinking the bed liner would give me sound and heat resistance and would also never chip or peel. Thanks

Works great, very durable. My previous CJ-7 had Rhino Liner. Also worked great, but cost alot more. However, it looked neater and cleaner than the roll-on. For a nice street/show car, I'd go with Rhino or Line-X. For someone like me, who beats the snot out of my CJ, the roll-on is plenty good. Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck. DBAP

Looks pretty good IMO.. 6592610-Floorcoating008.jpg (702 downloads) "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."

I've not seen colors in the do-it-yourself products, but I'm sure they're out there. Earning every penny of that moderator paycheck. DBAP

It is tough and will stand up to the same protection as a bed liner but will also give you insulation from the heat given off by the exhaust system."

U-POL Raptor Liner is color tintable. What I liked about it is that the texture is pretty nice and similar (not exact) to a factory undercoat when sprayed. However, it can be brushed on if you like. Mine was sprayed. I just took a quick snap shot under the trunk pan for you. You can see the texture is pretty "light". My car was coded for undercoat and had undercoat from one end to the other when I got it. I plan on driving it and I wanted something that looked good and was easy to maintain. 6592752-raptor.JPG (3616 downloads) Last edited by jrwoodjoe; 04/19/11 05:02 PM. 65 Barracuda 70 Challenger

Surface must be scuffed up and cleaned by a thinner or other product, so if you tell them all they have to do is spray it, you could get a better price! 1973 Road Runner 1974 Satellite (for sale) 1973 240z (wifes) 1993 Ramcharger (thanks Devil) 2002 Honda S2000
