undercoating to preserve classic vehicles

Classic vehicles, like the 1987 Chevy, are particularly vulnerable to rust and corrosion. Over time, road salt, moisture, and dirt can accumulate underneath a vehicle, eating away at the metal and compromising its structural integrity. For vintage cars, this is not just a cosmetic issue—rust can severely impact value and safety. That’s why rustproofing with oil-based undercoating is a smart investment for preserving your vehicle.

Our Oil-Based Undercoating Process

At Harvey’s Undercoating, we use a specialized oil-based formula designed to seep into every crevice and hard-to-reach area of your vehicle’s undercarriage. This process ensures a thorough application that provides long-lasting protection. Here’s how we treated the 1987 Chevy:

1. Thorough Cleaning: We began by cleaning the undercarriage to remove dirt, grease, and existing debris. A clean surface is crucial for the undercoating to adhere properly.

2. Inspection for Rust: Next, we carefully inspected the Chevy for any existing rust or damage. Minor rust spots were treated to prevent further spread.

3. Application of Oil-Based Undercoating: Using our state-of-the-art equipment, we applied an even coat of our premium oil-based rustproofing solution. This product penetrates deep into seams and welds, creating a protective barrier against moisture and salt.

4. Final Check: Once the undercoating was applied, we inspected the entire undercarriage to ensure full coverage and quality.
