Hi Larry, if it's tar-related any solvent will soften and attack the under coating. Try a product like Varsol, or use thinner, maybe engine cleaner. I've spent MANY hours stripping down undercoating off the frame, the inside of the bonnet, the firewall, just about any inside panel on my GT6. I applied the solvent [for me, thinner worked OK] then let it soak in for a while and scraped it of with a putty knife, wire brush, or brushed it off with an old brush. Some of the undercoating needed to be scraped of with an exactor knife. It's a tedious job. Pads for the drill or the dye grinder [Roloc, 3 M products ] did not work for me for this job because the undercoating is too soft. Neither did sandblasting for the same reason.
If the coating is non-tar related, for instance if it's gravel guard, then you will have to grind it off, using whatever method works for you, wire brush, 3M. Good luck.

Some places it's over 1/8 inch thick. I have a pad, for the drill, that works but the pad wears out too fast. It's like a brillo pad coated in plastic or rubber. It looks like I would go through a dozen pads and burn out my drill doing the complete frame. Useing a putty knife is a good way to hurt yourself.
