Hey guys my undercarriage in my rear is peeling. Did anybody ever have or had this problem. Is any place I can go to have it replace?

I have never seen the factory undercoating peel off... Is it the factory spray? or was it sprayed at the dealer by the dealer when the car was new?

a lot of dealers used to spray the underbody in the "rust belt" of the usa..

either way check with your local dealer, most places will at least have a contact...

you can go to wal-mart or a car parts store and get underbody spray. it comes in a spraycan and you just coat the peeling areas

Pictures.

I'm guessing you mean your rustproofing? Or your paint? Local companies can respray that stuff for you.

But pictures or a better description would help.

I'll take picture later I just got to work and posted this from my iphone.. It's the rustproof. It's the black coating that covers the paint. I think the reason it's peeling is because it's been so cold here..

Interesting, is your car lowered at all? I'm just wondering as to what the cause of it peeling.

I had this about 6-8 months ago - I was spraying the wheel wells out with the pressure washer at the car wash. I wanted to get the cinder and crap out of after some drives. As I am sparying it out I notice the color of the water change form brownish to black. After doing the other side I bend down and look and a few areas of my wheel weels were silver.

You can get a can of ruberized undercoating at almost any auto parts store and respray it yourself.

I covered as much as I could with a plastic bag and sprayed the crap out of it.

So I should respray the whole wheel well or just spray the spots that are bare?
