I was going to order some Eastwood Ruberized Undercoating in a rattle can to put under the bronco. Any idea how much i should order. Don't really want to end up with a lot of it left over.

Also...any thoughts about the product? is there another one i should use instead?

Thanks

I used rust bullet. It took a little over 1 qt to do the underside and my frame. I'm sure 1 qt would be enough to do your underside if you don't use it on you frame as I did.

I bought two of those large cans of Dupli-Color rubberized undercoating, thinking that would be enough to do all four wheel wells.

After doing the two right ones (two coats each), I was down to less than half a can, so bought two more and was on the fourth can by the time I did the second coat on the left side.

The size of those cans is misleading, as even though they're bigger than a standard spray paint can, the stuff is so thick that it takes up a lot of space inside. So if you're going to do the entire underside of a Bronco including the wheel wells, I'm thinking you'd need at least eight cans.
