Bedliner will show more than undercoating and you just can't gob it on and cover up $hit like your letting on.


You must be using spray can bedliner if you think it's thinner than undercoat per coat. Good bedliner is like 3 times as thick if not more per coat. Like I said, you want to hide stuff, use bedliner. I've used both at least 20 times and good resto rick undercoating looks so much better. I used to think the same as you, but not after the last car, never again... it's good for a truck bed and that's it. Bedliner looks like plastic, just looks out of place on a muscle car.
Your wrong there. The factory undercoating was put on thick, real thick. Not 1 car will look the same because they didn't care back then. As long as the car got covered they didn't care what it looked like. Like I've said I've scraped off a bunch of factory J55 cars and the results are not consistent. The stuff today is still not like the Undercoating they had back then. Try to duplicate this first pic of factory undercoating. I don't know what kind of junk bedliner you were using but it's obviously not the same what I use and doesn't look like plastic lmao. I've got some old pics somewhere if I can get them to download I'll post them. I done the 2nd pic about 4 years ago and in person everybody loved it and they even loved the Hippo liner I sprayed last year even better but I can't get those pics to download. Like I said If your driving the car use Bedliner unless you want to use undercoating and you like the dirt look that sticks to it but your restoring one correct and is a trailer queen I'd use the undercoating.
