    I'm almost ready to paint the underside of my maverick and was curious, which would be better, an undercoating or as one friend suggested, a bed liner?

    Undercoating is cheaper and it will come off easier if you need it to.

    I need to clean and under coat my new Comet. Interested in what you do.

    By the way, I have a full drive on lift if you want to use it. It might be worth the drive to Forney. And we can help each other.

    All depends on what your going for, under coating is just that, using some sorta bedliner will seal it up for life. Raptor liner is pretty good, and reasonably priced.

    I used the...Gator liner...under my front fenders...it helped with the top of the fender popping in/out.
