  View original topic: Line X on VW chassis
kme9418 Sun Mar 02, 2003 1:56 pm

I've got a 69 Bug. The chassis is solid. Has anyone ever tried to coat one on the bottom with Line X or Rhino Liner- the stuff they use for spray in bedliners? They can spray it on up to 1/4 in thick and it seems like it would never get rock chips and start to rust ever again.

The pans generally rust out from the inside not from the bottom like you would think ( maybe in some snowbelt climate with alot of salt on the road)
I recently used some brush on bedliner stuff on a few pan jobs and was impressed with the results... but I did not use it on the underside, still used spray can rubberized undercoating there.
I would be pretty damn bullet proof if you did decide to spend the bucks to do it though...

I sprayed my own bedliner and painted my suspension parts with it and the whole front compartment of my bug. I sprayed some test on a sheet and chucked stones at it. Not one chip. I am sure Line-X would be awsome undercoat. I plan to have that done as well
