What the best product/method to duplicate the factory undercoating in the wheel wells?

1) 3M 08864 Body Schutz Rubberized Coating Black
2) 3M 08997 Body Schutz™ Applicator Gun
3) Masking
4) Practice

Maybe NOT the Best but WAY better than ANYTHING out of a spray can.

I used Raptor truck bed liner and their adjustable nozzle shutz gun. I chose the truck bed liner for the durability and ease of cleaning and the gun made it easy to create the surface texture I wanted. Not sure how it'll hold up...time will tell.

I saw an ad for this product just the other day and thought it would work well for undercoating. Sprays on and cleans up with water.

Yes definitely share pic's please.

I have used the 3M body schutz and thought it was harder than the original undercoating. I will say that my Chevelle is a daily driver and I have not noticed any flaking off.

I would really like to use the original formula of the brand name Rhino Liner bed liner, if I had a shop near me. That stuff wears great and had the feel and look of the factory applied undercoating, although it doesnt scrape off as easily.
