I just found a great product for coating the underside of your freashly-
restored fenders, to prevent stone chips and dings. In the States it's
made by Dupli-Color and it's called Truck Bed Coating. It's made for spraying
on truck beds as an abrasion-resistant material and it produces a semi-thick
black textured coating, much like the spray-on undercoatings but much tougher.
I just did my R26 and I'm very pleased with the results.

Dave,

I'm glade to read your note, as I was just wandering
about what to use for this same purpose.
But, please tell me one things :
How much it makes your fender more heavy ?

Back when working in farm, we used to spray thik tar
under trucks' body, it was realy efficient, but unfortunatly,
I think it over weigth to much to be used on motor bike.
Thanks again,

Damien,

This coating is not as thick or heavy as typical undercoats.
The whole can weighs about a pound or two and I only used about 2/3 of it.
However it does produce a very tough finish that is much thicker than
paint, and I believe it will do a lot to protect the fenders.

Regards,

Dave
