As above really, what's best to under seal the bottom of the car with? I've heard of u pol gravitex but unsure if it's any good or not?

3M rubberised

Ask Benn

Personally I wouldn't use upol, mines flaked off in places

Thanks for the advice, I'll stay clear of the upol if it's going to flake off, I'll check out the other 2.

GRavit will shrink back and start comming off, it's cheap stuff.

Spend as much as you can, get the best you can.

3M make some of the the best, if not the best.

I used the 2pac rubbized stuff in bags. But it's not cheap. Each bag will just about do all of a Nova rear arch well. A bag and a half will be better. Bag's cost about 15-17quid each. And needs a gun and compressure to spray it.

But it's fantastic. Sticks to any and every surface clean or dirty. Is bendable to can take knocks and bags/stone chips.
Paint overable too.

Well worth it for a project your spending on and gonna keep.

Upol Raptor and Upol Gravitex do differ and no doubt both have their strengths. I have opted for Raptor purely on the basis that it appears very good and I can tint it Polar White.
