Textured Undercoating
« on: June 13, 2015 - 02:30:30 PM »
Hi guys,

The undercoating on my Challenger if fairly textured and I want to try and emulate that rougher textured finish.  The undercoatings in the cans all seem to go on a lot smoother than that.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what undercoating to use where I can get more texture?  Thanks

Dave

 :iagree:  If you want it right.....this is the stuff.  If you are not that particular with the texture then truck bed lining works as well too.  I find that if you "pulse" the Schutz gun it gives a better texture.

If you're serious on getting the right look, then a few practice shots to get the feel on how it goes on would be a recommendation. Get a feel on distance and how it stands up.

You can easily fly thru a gallon or more to do an undercarriage/wheelwells.
1 gallon probably might be a close call.

As far as the gun, you don't need anything fancy.
I used a gun I bought off Ebay and it did great.

I still have it if you're looking for one to buy for cheap.
