Raptor is an amazing product, but probably not right for underbody unless done when bramd new and 100% clear of any surface rust.

As an epoxy it's likely to look good, but trap and hide any growing problems until the first thing you know is big pieces dropping out.

I painted my Surf with it last year. I have quite noticeable stains coming through only a year later, where i thought Id perfectly treated and repaired some metal, but it's obviously kicked off again underneath, and it seems to stain through the Raptor worse than normal paint.

On plus side its so thick and strong that even if all the metal turns to red dust, Ill have lightweight epoxy body shell left behind 😁

Dinitriol process is meant to be the best for underneath, if pricy, otherwise another heavy oil/tar type wet treatment.
