Wheel Wells.. are nasty!

[Twista]

OMG i hate them. I know Handz sprayed his and im thinking about going that route but right now all i reviews i read say it takes days for the undercoating rubber spray to dry. Is this true?

I want to spray them today, but i have a car meet tomorrow morning and i want them to be dry by then, but i doubt it.

Im really tired of my wheel wells. From a distance they look good, but in any picture up close they look terrible.
is there a way to clean them or is my only hope to spray them with the rubber undercoating paint?

Also ebiach pro kit springs are ass. Look how high these bastards sit. I hate them. Another reason i want real lowering springs to hide the wheel wells

Thanks for the quick reply.

Did you use regular black spray paint and does it hold up nicely or chip away due to road crap?

Mine are the same, god they look like such shit on these cars. Doesnt help having a 3 foot fender gap

prokit is crap, get sportlines or SS

I have used the rubberized underspray and do not recall it taking that long. Pretty sure in an hour or two it was try to the touch. It might take 24 hrs to completely cure but I would not see a problem with needing in the morning.

Yup, plain ole 94 cent paint and it holds up good IMO, ive have my gas tank cover painted over a year and it looks fine. No chiping, flaking etc

with the ribberized spray you can always touch it up with out any issues if you need too.

Can you post the name of the product you used? OR is it any generic rubberized spray can I can find at a local store? I might do this on my Cobra.

Yea I did this on my fox with and whole undercarriage and gas tank cover . Then I did something fancy with the straps so when you see the ass you be like damn. I used undercoating in these cans with my air compressor . Made by proform

i think 3m makes some good stuff too

 

[Musturd]

3m does make some nice stuff as well I'll be addressing the wheel wells on my sn this week as I finish putting it back together.

just get rid of the wheel gap keep going lower till u can see them

I just pressured wash them @ the car wash. If it still looks like crap when it dries im going to spray them with the undercoating spray. I brought some duplicolor undercoating wheel well rubber spray for $5 at advanced. The reviews say it sucks, but they say you have to put on VERY light coats otherwise it wont dry with any of this stuff.

I used duplicolor rubberized undercoating and it held up fine on my ford expedition. Will use it on my car soon and review my results. Good idea though!

Will it be dry enough to drive in a couple hours? Or does it have to sit for days?

 

[greenscobie86]

I did one even coat while it was hanging in the shop for an oil change, looks to me like it dried instantly.. its hot enough, im sure it will dry fast.

My undercoating was dry after like an hour.....maybe less.

I didnt undercoat the front because you cant.... So i scrubbed them and used Chemical Guys Bare Bones. Looks perfect.
