Others on the list speak of Koolpatch brush-on undercoatings. What color is this material? Thanks for your help. >> Rob-- Kool Patch is black, and it is the absolute, hands-down best substance I have found for under body protection/rustproofing. Advantages-- rubber/asphalt/fiberglass mix, practically indestructable. water/alchohol based, cleans up easily when still wet. Made to last for years on hot roofs, can stand the torture on a car body. Inexpensive, $8-9 per gallon bucket Disadvantages-- somewhat difficult to apply--brush on, the consistency of pudding almost impossible to remove once dried. Petroleum solvent turns it into a slurry, but doesn't release the "adhesive" quality. You can find the retailer near you at www.koolseal.com. Best of luck, gmbulley cary, nc |
