Default Any recommendations on spray can undercoating

I used to use ever coat under coat..... Came in a large black can....
Have not been able to find it in years ....
Have not been able to find anything comparable ...
Looking to do my truck frame
This stuff used to dry fairly hard and stayed black...
Seems like the new stuff does not dry hard and turns brown.... Any suggestions

I bought Dupli Color Rubberized undercoating from NAPA and it was crap. After a week I could scrap it off pretty easy with my fingernail. I just tested it on some sheet metal before I done my frame. I ended up using the Dupli Color Truck Bed Coating. It is 10 times better than the rubberized undercoating stuff. You might try a practice piece but make sure the humidity aint crazy high or it will take it forever to set up. Just do 2 or 3 light coats. There is probably better stuff but this worked pretty good.
