Thinking of having car Undercoated?
Wednesday, October 24, 2012 2:16 PM
do you think it would be worth while to have my car undercoated this winter even though I have never undercoated this car since I bought it over 4yrs ago?

It could help if your where it will get road salt and etc.. my car had the wheel wells done and it was pretty nice. Not sure how much weight the whole thing would take tho

I am definitely not worried about weight that's for sure jut worried if I don't have it done , because I know next year I am gonna need to get a new engine cradle for it though. cause it has a small rust hole in it just big enough to fit my finger through.

Undercoating doesn't do anything if you already have rust. Those area's will continue to rust.
Best time to undercoat a car is when it's bought new, or if it was brought up from a southern state.

That being said, you can get a product called Por-15, apply it to the rust spots, according to the instructions, and the rust will stop. Then you can undercoat over that, and you should be all set.

Added weight is negligible for a daily driver. Most people carry more crap in their trunk or inside the car than the undercoating weighs.
