Builder painted mine white, but Alan and other suggested black. Want to go that direction - what did you use? How did you do it - very nervous about messing up the body's "outside" paint job.

Jason I used NAPA undercoating. If you get it on the paint it wipes right off. When you get the clutch fixed drive over and we can do your car in less than an hour

I was going to do the undercoat in the wheel wells myself, but rather than risking futzing it up with a "rattle can", I opted to have him do the more industrial strength undercoat while the car is being painted.

I used an epoxy based truck bedliner material that you apply with a roller.(satin black) It sets up like hard rubber and should protect the fiberglass from rocks. I did the underside of the entire body and it was about 69.00 for the kit.
No overspray with a roller and the only clean up was a trash can.
