    Jack point/undercarriage coating

    Hi all. So I jacked the car to check on the passenger front wheel today and I think I scratched off some undercoating at the jack point.
    I used the jack point behind the control arms. You can see on this photo.


    Here is what it looks like now. Does anyone know if I should find something to spray on? Thanks

    I took a piece. It feels like rubber. Can I get this stuff somewhere?
    Thanks

      It's just rubberized spray coating. You can get it at literally ANY autoparts store... even hardware stores sell a spray product by rustoleum, it's not for automotive specific use, but it's the same stuff.

        It's called undercoating. Usually tar based, comes in a big spray can.

          Yeah it's undercoating. I suggest jacking on the front subframe. And placing the jack stands on the frame rail with a piecr of silicone in between the Jack's and body
