I did the underside of my Hawk with Herculiner. The stuff for the back of pick-up truck beds. Works great. I did it because the oem undercoat was cracking. I put it everywhere the undercoat was. I am very impressed with it. **** is tuff, dries really quick. I have used all kinds of spray undercoat, I won't go back to that stuff.

How did you spray it upside down? How did that turn out for you?

I just started using the eastwood alternative to POR-15 "Rust Encapsulator" it seems to work pretty well.

Herculiner is a roll-on liner. It comes with the roller attachment and all the necessary stuff. It's good stuff too, and it's not very heavy, probably not any more than POR-15 is. I did a swingarm off of my ATV with herculiner, and it held up through everything i've put it through (and i ride hard).

I cleaned the underside of my car then used a Duplicolor Truck bedliner coating. Looks great. My friends use it and it holds up well.

The eastwood stuff only comes in matte black and I think clear. I dont think it would look bad if you just did the underside black. regardless of the color of the car

Sorry man, I died for a few days. I did it all with a 2 inch cheap paint brush. I didn't use the roller that came with it. I drove up on my ramps, and jacked the front the same and pulled all wheels off and I was done in no time. I used the stuff at work so I knew what to expect.

No idea. But it seems thicker than paint, but it will run. Advance auto, Autozone, even Walmart I believe has it.

Here is POR in gloss on my rear axle, after a good sanding.

Not the best shot, but you get the idea.
