Eh, most undercoating is too soft and becomes to dull to look good on the body. But, bedliner tends to look pretty good

I just did the bi-yearly rust-spraying and re-undercoating on my '92. I hit the rust I can get to with the wire wheel then I hose it with many MANY cans of rustoleum rust-converter. They have a new one that seems pretty good. Once it's dry (overnight or so), I plaster the bottom with many cans of rustoleum rubberized stops-rust undercoating and sound deadner. Really nasty stuff. Carb cleaner won't clean my hands of it.

I pretty much hosed the entire bottom and definately behind the rear wheel area and behind the rear bumper. All leaf spring mounts and floorboards from underneath. Since I replaced my rockers a few years ago with 2x6x.25 steel, I hose them too from underneath.

Seems to be working. Very little rust forming over the past 2 winters except where I applied it too thin before.

Maybe the best $50 I spent on the Jeep in a while.

my truck with rockers done... looks good... ive use all the store bought liners and non work as good as herculiner... this is what i use and then after it dries i hit it with a satin black paint... itll fade to a grayish color if you dont...

i used some undercoating under my old 72 chevy also that was in a spray can at autozone... it looks good when done but doesnt last long... i didnt keep the truck long enough to find out on it but my impalas floor boards didnt hold up for crap with the same stuff...
