My floorpan is cleaning up way better than expected. I always thought I would just rhinoline it cause it would cover up any ugly spots. But, now that I have built a rotissery, and it is cleaning up way nicer than I ever thought. I am wondering if I should paint it body color or something other than lining. What are some of your opinions?
This car was never really intended on being a daily driver or a show queen when done. I just want to drive it and enjoy it. Sometimes show, but nothing real big.
I am curious what others have done, what is easy. What looks nicer. I thought I could paint and if I don't like it after the car is on the road. I could always line it later.

Unless you plan on it being trailer queen better off applying something on the order of what you suggested....bedliner stuff. Before you do the I'd just keep cleaning it up as if prepping for paint and put a couple of coats of epoxy primer to seal out moisture, apply seam sealer where you see fit....then use bedliner , etc. I used SEM prochip guard.

Mines all brushed rustoleum. I just use the flat black now and then whenever I'm done it will get gloss black.

I would not use the bedliner stuff unless it is driven a lot.
In your case, I would just paint it especially if it looks real nice.

I used 3M Body Schutz undercoating, seals and provides sound damping. This was recommend from by my paint guy.

This will also cover up any blemishes. Gives a dull black with a slight texture.

After spraying.


After 30 mins of drying.

I like the idea of the bed liner ...BUT... if repairs are needed down the road, how hard will it be to strip ? That stuff it TOUGH.

Well kinda call all the rough textured stuff, liner. I am really liking that Shutz stuff. It is nice looking. Is that applied by a regular gun? Or a special one? Thanks for showing me. I really think that is the I will go also.
Edit:: I just went and found it. It isn't all that bad priced. Any idea how many bottles will undercoat my car?

If the underneath is in good shape, why hide it?.Show's its beauty.

Unless you are going to drive it everyday ain all weather conditions, paint it. I used POR 15 and their chassis black top coat 10 years ago on the Camaro and there is still not a spot of rust anywhere. The car is not a trailer queen. In fact if you ever see it on a trailer call 911!! We have driven it on the Hot Rod Power Tour as Long Haulers and through some pretty nasty conditions and I have only had to touch up a couple of small spots. Any bed liner type material will add significant weight to the car.

Paint it

I've seen and like UPOL's "RAPTOR" product either for the Wheelhouse Area or entire underpan..............

Unless you're doing a restoration look.............then primer/paint is the only way.....

Make sure all seams are sealed good and paint it.

I did spray in bed liner on mine.If I had a rottissorie when I built my car it would have got paint I think.When you seam seal use a two part sealer.They sell a tintable bed liner now.If you go with bed liner do a two part on that as well.My personal oppinion would be paint for a cleaner look.
