well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today we're going to talk about undercoating now this
is the undercoating gun that I use and to tell you the truth it is just awesome I did a video
roughly a year ago about this time when I do my own rust proofing on my vehicle and I showed I've
made a couple of videos on rust proofing I'll put them links down below so you can take a look
and the one that a lot of people found kind of odd was the f-150 I have a 2010 f-150 and Ford
decided to go with this design using duct tape on the frame rail so these guys take a look at
that you'll get a good chuckle and the other one was about what I use for rust proofing and
a lot of people commented on this this was in the background on one of the videos there and this is
the fluid film and I've been using this gallon now for about maybe four years now for both vehicles
and of course I don't do the whole vehicle I just do the key spots which are like brake lines
and fuel lines and you know spots that well I'm going to show you I'll show you my 2002 Silverado
2500 HD and there's a good spot there over the summertime it's just gone bare like this stuff
I don't care what you use it doesn't last forever and depending on the roads that you travel on well
I'll show you on this vehicle here how the frame rail itself has it's completely dry now and I'll
use my undercoating gun like these are very cheap they're very easy to use the only thing that I've
noticed I'll give you a couple of tips on what I do is the pressure the pressure that you put
through this has to be I guess accustomed to the type of gun that you actually buy this one here
the manufacturer says I believe it's around 50 to 70 psi or CFM now what I do is I actually hook
this up to the end of my hose I snap it on and I could actually see the pressure at the end of the
line not at your tank because I've got like a 75 foot hose here that takes me out into the driveway
and best thing to do is to get one of these and adjust it to the pressure that you like because
if you go too high a pressure all you're gonna do is get a whole bunch of mist and you're going to
hardly get any product on your vehicle and if you go too low it just won't work very well at all so
for me I find the sweet spot is around 60 psi and it works great it doesn't fill you know the whole
area full of just mist it's actually applying the product you have to make sure you're using
your protective gear as well let's go to the driveway I'll show you what this looks like
well what do you think I think any of you could do that as well it's a very easy thing to do now
most places charge over a hundred dollars to spray your vehicle and to tell you the truth
I've noticed that on anything that I have done in my life I do a better job than most people
do when you take it to someplace else to get the same work done because I know exactly how I like
it done I know how much I want applied I know the right spots to apply it and to tell you the truth
a lot of these places they got a gun and they're just whipping that stuff all over the place and
you know what it's all showing no go for a lot of places so if you could find a good place that
takes their time to actually spray the product properly that's fine for me I'm open the driveway
doing my vehicle from one end to the other like you say just the key spots you don't have to go
crazy on the product and it takes me roughly a half an hour to go across one shot one side
of the vehicle and back to the other I have had my vehicle sprayed in the past on the underside
and they've got this oil spray and they're just you know spraying it all over and you know what
half the time it's all washing off fluid film does not wash off like most products I find it's
a very good product and but I do prefer myself the rust check coat and protect it's quite more
expensive this here is about $60 a gallon up here in Canada and it goes a long way and it's
worth it because you do your brake lines a lot of Silverados have had rotted oak brake lines
and fuel lines along the frame rail there I have the original brake lines original fuel lines and
it's in part because once a year for a half an hour I put my mask on I go underneath the truck
and I spray all the key areas so far it's worked out great for me a 2002 is a good testimony to how
you know taking your time and putting a rust coating product on yourself actually works so
youse guys take a look at the links below and you'll see what other products that I have used
in the past and I continue to use in different spots and thanks for joining me here today if
