What are you guys using to coat the undercarrige of your cars? I have unibody car so it doesn't come off a frame. I have just about finished mock up and I need to prime and coat the undercarriage. The fender wells too; should I do something different for the fender wells? Black?? Any advice and or direction much appreciated.

I used 3 coats Southern Polyurethanes epoxy followed by SEM bedliner. I like the SEM bedliner, it has a nice almost shiny finish compared to some of the other bedliners I have seen. Not rubbery at all.
I just sprayed the Raptor bedliner in my Tundra work truck. Took about 10 hrs prep/cleaning/sanding, taping, shooting a couple coats, and then pulling all the tape/paper off over the course of a weekend.
For the price this stuff seemed like the best price. Takes 5 days to fully cure if being very hard on it. Best to shoot it in 60* weather... we did it in 50-55* temps in the sun. Actually did it with a buddy and split 3 kits as we put it on a bit thicker on the bottom and tail gate area. Glad I did as 1 kit wouldn't really have sufficed. 8' long bed. Cost us about $270 each which included the 1.5 kits each, sharing spray gun cost, and misc tape/paper/acetone. The spray gun should be cleaned between each coat (1hr wait time) and we just shot acetone thru the gun which cleaned it in 10 seconds.
