this is one of the best bang for the buck mods you can do. even buying the quarts of paint i did all mine for about $20.

haven't done the wells yet, but the frame still looks great!

Are you guys doing the whole underside of the body or just the frame? I'm trying to gauge how much material to get

i painted the back bumper,inside the fenders,frame A arms,the bottom six inches of the body inside and out. and it was less than 2 cans.i gave it 2 coats,but i also bought the bigger cans.

I have read and heard great stuff about POR 15. I think it is a little expensive though.

I used that Duplicolor sound deadener rubberized undercoating. That shit went fast. Used two cans on the frame, rear end and skid plate and didn't have enough to touch up the small spots so I have to get a third can tomorrow. It made a huge difference though. It's a textured finish and I think it looks awesome. Here's a before and after picture.





The before picture is old and changes have been made since then. The chrome rocker panels are long gone, thank god.

I was going to recommend POR15 also. I'm going to have to use it on my 72K5 once I replace the floor pans and rockers and will use it on the frame on my tahoe soon as well.

^ Hey man you're from SA if I'm not mistaken. Where did you get the por 15? I couldn't find it anywhere. I might have to give it a shot if the stuff I used doesn't hold up.

 

[blizz]

Yeah I'm in SA. I'll have to let you know about that tomorrow. My brother is a manager at a body shop so I'll have to ask him.
