RestoRicks is very good undercoating.Don't try to get it done in one coat, it will take a few coats to get the thickness and the texture correct.

Most of today's undercoating goes on much thinner than the old/stock undercoating (but the old/stock may very well have contained asbestos... so we don't want that). Anyway, you can get weird imperfections if you spay on a modern undercoating too thick (drips, solvent pop, crazing, cratering, etc). The best way to "tie together" multiple coats of undercoating is to spray a coat, let it almost dry, re-coat & repeat until you get the thickness you want. That way you avoid most/all of the problems & the lower layer can partially mix with the upper layer. You also could completely remove the old/stock stuff first so that at least everything would look the same, if not original.
