If you plan on driving it to car shows, my thinking is, they will doc you for stars in your paint due to rocks, etc, MORE than they would for the undercoating. But I could be wrong. smile


Unfortunately my old truck won't be a show truck in any way shape or form. I am hoping it looks good but with my amateur work I would be laughed out of a show like that. I can do the mechanical work but this is the first time I have tried body work, I've found the paint is the hardest at least for me. I will probably use it some around here, maybe a local parade. It will be stored inside and won't be in the weather. The thing is our streets are gravel so protection from rocks is probably a good idea. At any rate is will be a lot better than the beat up rusted thing I bought.
