Hi All-
I need help with a dilemma. The body is ~1/2 blasted and repairs are being
made to a few spots (battery shelf, passenger side footwell).
Next the rear of the body gets done and the question is, what should be done
with the underside?
Currently it has (factory?) undercoat on it. My car is an earlier car. It
never had the engine bay coated with the tar/sticky stuff, but the underside
and wheel wells had a coating of undercoat. The bodyshop has outline a few
ways to go:
a.) Do nothing. (lowest cost)
b.) Light sand blast to remover dirt and any loose pieces and recoat. (cost
+)
c.) Remove undercoat, blast, priime and coat with rubberized bed liner.
(cost++)
d.) Remove undercoat, blast and 2 stage paint. Looks very nice and could
show car with mirrors underneath. (cost ++)
e.) Remove undercoat, blast, priime and coat with rubberized bed liner. Then
2 stage paint. (cost +++)
Body shop guy says that if it was his car, he would go with option d.
"because that's what I like".
Opinions please?
Thanks!
John Cyg.
