WillBilly53 Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 i was just wondering what the consistency of undercoating is? is it more like shiny paint or is more of like kind of matte?<P>my problem is i've been chiseling away what i think is 50 years of gunk/dirt (i had a post on here a while back about it)from my chassis and quarter panels. and underneath is a fairly shiny, well i guess more of a satin black finish.<BR>so i thought this (the satin finish) was the undercoating.<P>but then i bought some undercoating to apply on the underside of my hood and it vaguely resembles the gunky stuff that i've been chiseling at for the past month. have i been removing the undercoat on the chassis and quarter panels?<P>can anyone help me?<P>thanks in advance,<P>will
Guest AWBE Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Yep ---you're down to the chassis paint. The undercoating is rough and gooky.

Guest Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 hey willbilly check out this 47 Buick on ebay...<BR> <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1826187267" TARGET=_blank>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1826187267</A> <P>I thought you might be interested.
Guest scott mich bca # 6619 Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 The undercaoting is thick and lumpy.<P>The black you are seeing is some kind of primer.<P>I found it on the underside of my front fenders, in places that you could not reach, unless they were removed.<P>Assuming it was put there from the factory.
Guest oldtimer Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 that '47 is pretty cool, look at this one (i know its not a 40's and its a 4dr) <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1826227889" TARGET=_blank>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1826227889</A> <BR>man, i love fastbacks...........
