    newly undercoated fastback floors

    Finally getting close to putting this thing back together.  The 3M undercoating has a finish like a piece of dull 100 grit sandpaper.  It covers well, dries quick and is very consistent.  I did learn something though.  WHen the can appears to be empty, go get another can rather than try to get that last little bit of spray out of it.  The last blast comes out all at once and is not atomized like the rest of the spray pattern was. It just spits big blobs out right before it gives up the ghost.

    Re: newly undercoated fastback floors

    I like how that turned out. It's not blochy looking like some of the other products I've seen. I think I'll use this product in the trunk and on my interior floorboard. I would use it on the underside, but I already did the red oxide.
    Does it only come in black?

    MS, did you use the 08881 or the 03584? It list the 03584 as their professional grade with sound deadening and insulation properties, so I may go with that one.

    As far as I know, only in black.  I was just now looking at the interior floors thinking this stuff might just be the way to go.   It sure covers alot of area quicker than the rustoleum does.  And you better be standing 3 feet away when you push the spray nozzle button.

    I wonder if this stuff could be painted over if you wanted a different color.

    Seems like I asked about using undercoating before and several people said moisture can get caught in between the spray and metal. Do you think this product won't have that problem?  I would like to use it.

    Re: newly undercoated fastback floors

    I was a big undercoating guy, until the bedliner sprays came out.  I believe undercoating does sound deaden better, but I like how the bedliner spray dries hard and is not pliable.  It is more prone to chip, but it will not retain moisture, that's the part I like the best. My 2 cents.

    Re: newly undercoated fastback floors

    About retaining moisture...   Undercoaters I have used in the past would bubble up as they were sprayed.  The Marhyde brand was terrible and never got hard, with lots of bubbles.  Even some of the 3M stuff had bubbles.

    This stuff I used from 3M was not like that at all.  It is more like a rubber coating with some texture to it.  I do not have any fears that this stuff will retain moisture.  It is an advanced product from what I have seen in years past.  I guess you could say it gets the MustangSteve stamp of approval, for what that's worth.
