I pulled my rear end out and now have to degrease and paint the underside of the body. It's a mess down there. After I get all of the gunk off, what should I use to paint? Does Eastwood have a spray-on undercoating or something like that, or should I just use a can of flat black?
Thanks.

Just clean it up and leave it, it was not painted from the factory, just bare fiberglass. Starting in 73, some areas of the wheel wells got a spray on asphalt coating to cut noise and stop stones from staring the paint.

Just clean it really good, use Varsol or mineral spirits to get all the acumulated tar and grease off. You should end up with a dark gray slick fiberglass. If that doesn't do it for you, then paint it which ever color you think looks best. I had to scrape 1/2" of tar undercoating off the bottom of my car and ended up with a lot of scratches in the fiberglass. I found some dark gray spray bombs of paint at Wal-Mart, I think it was a Wal-Mart store brand of paint and it was called "Antique Bronze" it looks nearly identical to the gray color of the original fiberglass.

The underside of the body is natural---unpainted from the factory. The only paint is in the wheelwells. There's also undercoating in the wheelwells. I'd clean the underbody up and then leave it alone. Chuck
