The undercoating is very similar to the stuff that you would spray in the back of your truck fro a box liner. As for spraying it, it was easy, the surface prep was the hardest, gettting everything cleaned up and then tape off what you don't want to hit was the most time comsuming.

Still :working: !!

Well I get my car back from Paint on Friday or Saturday :clapping: :wow: :droolingbounce: :cooldancing:

What should I do from there the interior first, cluster, dash, seats, etc. Or should I do the exterior, front end, fuel lines, brake lines, etc.

I could use a good answer to that one as well.  I need some good instructions like my son gets with his Star Wars legos.

 :working:on the car is going to be fun but like i founded out the inside is easier and can be done any where. i would say the axels and wheels frist. then you have the harder parts over with the dash and things can be put in faster than you think. but brake lines and things take more time. but that would be me i had the inteior done once lol. so all i have to do is put it back.but good luck and great job so far. :drama:
