Undercoating questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

I use to do this as a job. It's been a while, though. When I did this, I had the car on a lift and used a spray gun, so I'm not sure how you're going to get the underside done if you don't have access to a lift. There were a couple of times where I had to go buy the bottles at Canadian Tire and needed to go through a few to get it all done. Can't quite remember how many, but I would say 4 to 5 at least. Get some gloves, a mask, and some clothes you probably aren't going to wear again.

Basically, you're spraying everything down that is bare metal. That includes the gas tank and heat shielding and the frame. Avoid moving parts. You might want to buy a solvent as well so that if you do make mistakes you can spray it down and wipe off the undercoat. I'm trying to remember what I used, but it's been a while.

Most importantly once you're all done, let it dry. Do not drive your car if its raining otherwise all that hard work you did will be wasted and all over your car.
