Default Project "Rubbed Raw" 68 Camaro

Here is my original thread that I start about a month ago. I started a new thread because I now have a name for the car. My finger tips are rubbed raw from all the grinding, sanding, and scrubbing trying to get the liner off my hands.
https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=12975

I have since taken everything off to be powdercoated, so I though it would be a perfect time to coat my undercarriage. Then entire process of undercoating took alot longer than I had expected, I worked on it about 12 hrs both Sat. and Sun. I first cleaned up all the welds from the floor pan swap, primed, seam sealer (Lord Fusor), prep wipe, sanded, tacky cloth, and then coating (U-Pol Raptor Liner) . It took me longer to clean my dang hands then anything else, I have used hand cleaner, gas, mineral spirits, and just about anything else and they are still coated. Here are some pics.

Yes, I sprayed it myself with a average compressor @ 55psi, overspray was very controlable, that is only one coat. It kind of looks like it has some spots that need more coating in the pictures, but it is just the flash on the wet coating.

I thought about it, but they were too nasty to touch the camera.

Ah man, I was waiting for some hand pictures. Looks very clean though. I kind of wish I had done that to my Charger but I thought I'd piss someone off by not painting the undercarriage.

Been there and done that. I like the Raptor by U-Pol. I think it'll make for easy clean up after driving. Your car is looking good. Keep up the great work.
