Underbody
 
I am about to primer my 67 camaro after finishing all the metalwork and was wondering what everyone thinks I should put on the bottom of the shell. The car is on a rotissere so this is the best time to primer/ undercoat the bottom of the car. Maybe some POR15or some other product that I have not heard about. Thanks.

have you checked out second skin?

I'm thinking I might use epoxy primer followed by U-pol Raptor bedliner. I used this stuff on my truck and although it seemed a little too thin for a bedliner, I think it would make an excellent undercoating. Do a search for Lenie in the project updates section, he used it on the underside of his 68 Firebird.

I'm close to doing the same on mine and was wondering the same thing, like to hear what others have to say. I was thinking epoxy or POR-15 followed by some sort of bedliner.

Although I have not quite got to the uncoating stage, I believe I may try this approach. I am surprised more have not gone this route.

Por-15, I have been using it everywhere on my build and am really happy with the results. I am very skeptical of any kind of body deadner/bedliner. The reason that i say that is that most rust problems i have seen develop underneath cars are due to the deadner cracking after time and trapping moisture underneath.
Go the Por-15

for rust protection there is only one way to go and that is a wax based undercoating... but it is a mess, and doesnt earn you street credit

the first thing applied to the metal should be epoxy primer,then whatever material you choose, stay away from POR-15 unless you want to strip and re-do everything in couple years

Was that stuff textured like bedliner or smooth? I couldn't tell for sure, but it looked like paint to me. If so, I like the look.
