What a terrible product to work with. It is a sprayable asphalt. Says you should not reduce it, but I have to to get my 1950s undercoating gun to spray it, and it does not spray uniform at that. It takes a loooonnnnggggg time to cure too. Like days of siting in the sun and heat.
The good is that it looks great, and seems to have done what I want it to. I have the hood and inner fender wells done. Will get the fenders done when I yank the rears off.
I went with the stuff that you can buy in rattle cans. I think I've used 4 of them to do the inside of the 4 fenders on my truck, and another 2 cans for the underside of the cab. It was pretty easy to spray to get good coverage and dried quickly.
Moving your thread to Paint & Body, where it's more on-topic.

My apologies. I thought I would have put it in Paint n Body?
I am going to be doing every inch of the underside of the body. Some before assembly, some after. Will probably go through two gallons of this this stuff by the time I am done.
How did u prepare the surface for the coating, thanks.
I am just using prep all. It is some gooey nasty stuff. Only thing that worked for clean up was gas. Acetone and laq thinner didn't do a thing with it. I would love to go the whole frame and suspension with it, but that would be so much overkill.
Jetcoat makes a matte black exterior fence and barn paint (water clean-up) that can be used on wood, metal, asphalt, rocks...just about anything. You can even paint over dirty stuff with it. It can be used as a first coat and top coated with the spray-on undercoating rattle cans Kevin mentioned.

I used Permatex under coating, pretty low cost at a FLAPS, under my cab. It went on kinda runny, the cab was tilted up on an angle. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, and then rolled it with a short nap paint roller. Came out nice, total cost about $20 or less.
