What is the best tool/product to use to get the old undercoating out of the fender wells? Should I just use a scraper or is there something better?

Thanks for all comments.

 

A heat gun or some type of heat source that can melt it down and a scrapper or aircraft stripper.

 

I have used a wire wheel to get it off. Takes a little time and is a little messy but well worth it.

 

I used a scraper and a screwdriver and a lot of patience.

 

Sounds like it will be a good time

Does the aircraft stripper work good on it?

 

Peels it right off. As long as it's a rubberized undercoating. If it's a truck bed type undercoating I'm not quite sure how it'll work. You will want to be sure not to get any of the stripper on anything that you don't want the paint to come off:P Someone undercoated the entire engine bay on my mustang and the stripper was the best method I found on removing it.

 

I just did mine yesterday. I used a 4 inch angle grinder with a metal cut off wheel and angled it. It worked great. I tried the grinding wheel and that did not work as well. I also tried a wire wheel. It was dusty so wear a dust mask. It took it right down to the metal quickly.

 

Heat is the key. I like a torch and scraper.

 

Be careful with heat. Those fenders do not have very think metal and to much heat will warp them. I just used a puddy knife on ours and it came off fairly easy. Then instead of using undercoating I used spray-on bedliner. I noticed that even with the undercoating I still had rock dings in the fender from underneath. I even did the whole underneath of the car, inside floors, trunk, and inside roof also. It works as a great sound deadener also. Along with sealing the metal from the weather.

 

You think the bedliner spray is better than the por15? Where do you buy the spray at?
