707Stang · January 28th, 2009, 08:45 PM

i'm planning on using it on my engine compartment. anyone kow the temp ratings for something like this?

HMUSN · January 28th, 2009, 08:46 PM

may I ask why? I can not really read it to see what it is for.

1FUN4RD · January 28th, 2009, 08:51 PM

It's 3M undercoating. I used it when I redid my 72 F-250
Used it on the complete underside of the box & on the inner fenders & the under side of the cab. Worked great

my experience with any rubberized undercoating is that it will melt near the exhaust.
and be unbelievably messy any time you want to work near it, if gas spills ie, when changing a filter etc it will be a mess beyong all messes
I would advise against it
additionally in my opinion there are better looking finishes for the engine compartment.

& no no no, don't use it in the engine bay..

MustangOne · January 28th, 2009, 10:33 PM

I only use it on the underside of the car.

What kind of surface prep does this require? Would I need to strip the inner fenders or just get them clean?
Thanks,
Brian

Just make sure the surface is as clean as possible. Dirt doesn't make a good primer

1FUN4RD · January 29th, 2009, 09:23 AM

As an FYI: I am assuming you are putting this on the under side of the inner fenders.

Scrape any oil grease build up, High pressure washing, clean with lacquer thinner,
then sand down rough edges and the primer then paint your color.

awesome! thanks guys that's the kind of first hand knowledge i was looking for. So what would be a good way to do the engine bay? Just FYI this is a budget build so i want to do it right but cant spend a whole lot.
