ON all of the cars which I have worked on which is basically 49,50, and 55
Chryslers they were factory undercoated. this is evident from the car and
the sales literature.
Can't speak for others though. I always treat metal and then reapply
undercoating from one gallon can of the Gunk with a brush or rag. Messy but
it works!
