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,
