Textured undercoating inside of trunk on quarters - Does anyone know how to get that correct texture
before color goes on?
 
That's the one thing my body guy couldn't quite match. He even went back to the 'old guy' who taught him his trade. The response, "They just don't make it the same as they used to." I think the stuff used is called 'schulz'...'shotlz'...something like that.
 
I believe you are thinking of " Body Shutz" made by 3M and still available............................MO
 
You don't want to recreate it exactly, I've been told what gives it it's body is asbestos. Found a guy that mixed fiberglass into regular undercoating and it worked kind of OK, but nothing like the original.
 
I would think that would be pretty easy to duplicate, but would take a little more of an artist touch. Body Schutz or even bedliner sprayed in using a body schutz gun would do it. Pressure at the gun tip at 40-60PSI would make a good high build and decent overlap like the factory stuff. Good luck

we used bedliner. It looks very close. I'll try to get some shots posted at some point.

I dunno, maybe I was getting BS'd. I was by his shop multiple times while they were attempting to recover/ blend the patch panels. He used the correct stuff. He explained that today's EPA laws don't allow the same materials (asbestos?) or chemicals to go into it anymore, making it a bit thinner and smoother. If sprayed too heavy, it simply sagged on the panel. Thickness was built up with multiple coats, but each coat took a while to properly cure...and it always came out smoother than the original material.
 
The new stuff does lay flatter but with practice, you can come pretty close. Keep in mind air pressure, orifice size/ shape of the shutz gun and flash time between coats can all affect the end product.

Oh yeah? Dog must be getting real close for paint if you're down to the incidentals of spraying sound deadener on the inner quarters Matt.

Ha ha, yes the "DOG" will be needing some in the near future but I actually need some for the Imp first.
 
Hey Rusty - Which brand did you end up going with? And how did it turn out? I have to get some ordered for my Charger and want something that looks nice.
 
I bought the stuff from Ricks Restorations... Actually spoke to the guy.. I haven't applied it yet. Still not time for color...

Thanks Rusty - I am leaning towards that one also. Let us know when it gets sprayed and if the body shop likes it.
