[DeTomaso] Need Collective Wisdom: To Undercoat or Not?

[Jeff Detrich]

Another plus for undercoating is that you can easily touch it up. Who knows
when you may get a scrape under the car.

Regarding weight, I can't believe it would be significant (what does 2 cans
weigh?) And even if it was, it sits very low on the car.

Sound/heat insulation spray is still worth looking at. Serves multiple
purposes.
