I’ve been waiting patiently for someone to say something about it and you are the first person! I will definitely make a post about it, and will very likely make a video about it.

Lol. I just bought 4 cans of truck bed liner to recoat all of my vehicles before winter.

Very thorough and really informative vid. Thanks, appreciated! I think fluid film or oil is the best option, but interesting to see how good bed liner works. Ultimate comparison would've been these two against plain enamel rustoleum paint, which is what I've seen recommended to avoid moisture being trapped underneath the rock chips and accelerating rust. Then cover in fluid film once yearly.

I love fluid film, but one issue is that it cannot protect a new underbody from gravel chips on country roads. For that, you need something much tougher. I'm considering a 2 part epoxy coating with ground rubber, or a premium 3m underbody product.

I went to a local body shop last week & I told the guy I have rust building underneath my car. He lifted the car on the machine & sprayed the whole under carriage of my car. & now I just saw your video & absolutely regret doing that😢😢

Hey thanks man. Probably will use the truck bed liner instead 👍

Ideally, I agree. That’s exactly what I would do for a small area. For me, it’s not practical to do that for the entire underbody of 4 vehicles. I just wash them down and apply a coat before winter. It’s much better than doing nothing.

Just fyi u used way to much corroseal a foam brush it better also you should have degreased the under body then 1 last time with Dawn dish soap then pressure wash to remove all the under body then when dry use the corporeal wait 24hr then check it if its all black your good to go if not all black and u see brown then wire brush those spots then repeat the cleaning on the spots then use a tall can of the rustoulem professional grade black paint and your good to go a quart of corroseal will do an entire truck and a half under body it gose a long way for a rust converter primer and sealer in one.

Should have tried regular black Rustoleum that you just paint on with a brush. Seems to be holding up well on my truck.

I definitely would not use the rubberized undercoating for a truck bed. That’s the worst paint that can be used for that application in my opinion. You will want a coating that’s hard and slippery.

Undercoat gave me strange results. I de-rustred a sheet of expanded metal with electrolysis, treated it with phosphoric acid, primered it with self-etch, then gave it two coats of undercoating. Took several days to cure. It looked fantastic! However, after a good day of rain, the deep black turned to a chalky dark gray. Totally not expected. I'll let it weather out and deep cure for a few months, then apply something else.

The surface coated with truck bed liner is still holding up nice. However, it’s important to note that paint should not be applied directly over rust. It’ll trap it in and rust underneath. This is very important on a vehicle frame/underbody. In this video, I used Corroseal rust converter first, which is advertised to neutralize the rust into a primer, ready for a topcoat. In my experience, don’t waste your time with rust converters. They have not worked for me. For an underbody, use something like Fluid Film or Blaster Surface Shield annually.

The absolute worst thing you can do to your vehicle is spray the undercarriage with rubberized undercoating or bedliner. Traps salt and moisture. Accelerates rust. Hard coatings=hard fail. Always use soft coatings. Like wax or oil. But once the hard coating is on, no wax or oil can help you now. She’s toast.

@HowtoandReviewsOfficial

Thanks for sharing. I agree. I washed it and coated with rust converter first. Theoretically, the existing rust is neutralized, causing no more threats, and is ready for a topcoat. (weather rust converter works or not is a different topic that I do not want to get into.) Fighting rust is a losing battle. Doing something is better than doing nothing.

Yes, ultimately everything will fail. I'm going to use a method like yours but not a rubberized coating. Just rust inhibiting paint. The frame and many other components are painted in manufacture. So if the chosen rust converter is a good one, you're going back similar to original if you paint it. Then folks can always use woolwax or fluid film if they want and protect the paint and the metal. @@HowtoandReviewsOfficial

Better results would be achieved with thorough preperation.All loose rust needs removing to solid metal,and treating.I would never use the rubberized coating on existing rust.The truck bed coating is good,also the lanolin based coatings.

Wheel well ok. Not on all undercarriage

if you live in an area where they salt the roads you should not use either of these as it will trap salt and moisture in and accelerate the rusting process. Use some sort of lanolin oil such as fluid film instead. This has been proven.
