My 1970 Duster 340 FM3 project

Gary you are doing a very nice job, thanks for the inspiration!.... can you tell us what brand of bed liner that you used? last question.. why did you favor the bedliner on the quarters over a traditional undercoat? i will be doing this soon and not sure what product i will be useing... thanks again Rich
Rich, Thank you for the kind words. As far as the bed-liner paint goes, I generally use USC Dominator. It's super easy to mix and spray. As to why I prefer bed-liner paint to traditional undercoat, I like the way you can achieve the look you want plus have the added benefit of mush easier cleaning once you start putting miles on the car. Also, if you want the painted undercarriage look but still want to actually drive and enjoy the car without worrying about the undercarriage chipping, this is a great way to have your cake and eat it too. Think trailer queen without the need to trailer it. The other benefit is should it actually chip, you can just dab a little paint on the chip and it is invisible. Plus, instead of it being a two step process of spraying the paint and undercoat, you get it all done at once. Believe it or not, I have even used it on a few of my boat decks with a little non-skid additive to liven up the deck and still have it be worrying free (does not chip when you accidentally drop lead on it). Fish blood and guts is easily hosed off even after it dries. AND it costs way less than traditional boat gelcoat.

The only down side I have found is that with certain colors, such as deep charcoal grey metallic, the results are kind of murky looking. I think that is why they do not recommend it be used with heavy metallic colors. I have used it for Black, FE5 Red, Ek2 Hemi-Orange, EV2 Go-Mango, and Q5 Turquoise all with great results.
