Thanks, Andy,
that’s encouraging! I’m leaning toward trying it (as soon as the weather warms up a bit).

The Mythbusters demonstrated that just applying it to plywood or concrete block gave those materials the ability to withstand high explosives. The results looked to me to exceed or at least be on par with X-Flex Bast Protection, a classified material that was developed for the sole purpose of withstanding explosions. Don't dis spray-on bed liner.

He’s done several restorations. His recommendation: use Dupli-Color Bed Armor. It’s a viscous black butyl rubber spray-on truck bed liner product that he says never chips, never peels, and never lets moisture wick underneath it. A can cost under $15. Haven’t tried it yet (been too windy to spray) but the write-ups appear promising. Does anybody have any experience -- or cautions -- that might help me (and others) coat my fenderwells?

This is the exchange I was looking for – and Pegarust is the product I was trying to identify. Now to find a retailer who has it … Bert Knupp in Nashville From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Sroka Sent: Friday, January 29, 2016 12:24 PM Hey Bert. Browsing the archives, quite a while back Robert Harding offered this suggestion for a similar application http://www.mail-archive.com/vintagvw%40googlegroups.com/msg00706.html . John Mike Morehouse <[email protected]>: Feb 01 07:23AM -0600 Bert, FWIW and I guess I must have read this somewhere on the Vintage VW list when I was restoring my 72 Bug back in 1999, I undercoated my fenders with roofing tar. It has stuck on well, no flaking or rust though car is garaged. What you found may be better. Mike Morehouse Michael <[email protected]>: Feb 01 10:40AM -0500 That plastic roofing repair compound is readily available and cheap at Lowes and HD. But the spray-on or roll/on bed liner would look more uniform.
