Like Line-x?

Well, sort of.

One here uses Valuard products. Not sure about it. Sprays an asphalt exterior coating on frame. Which would probably be fine on brand new vehicle with no rust anywhere.

What I’ve used in aerosol form is Fluid Film - just a lanolin based oil that just seeps and creeps, eventually washes off.

Most of those line-x/rhinoliner type places will treat them with a catalyzer to stop any new rust and neutralize what is there, then do the undercoating.

Have you had it done? It looks really good, and priced reasonably.

Im a bit OCD. I just don’t see how you can possibly treat every speck of rust without extensive prep. Then, you’ve just covered up rust with a thick coating and you have no idea what your frame looks like.

I've not had it done, I've just seen that they do it. I've heard people say they like it, but I can't give a first hand opinion on their work.
