I'll have everything out in the rear next week. Should I grind everything down to bare metal, seal, primer, and spray new undercoating on or just wash, scrub it down real good and repray? Time is a little bit of a factor, but I like to do things right. Would going to to bare metal be a waste of time?

I would suggest adding the undercoating. thereisnoyun and I just got done doing our subframes. We built an electrolysis tank out of cardboard and drop cloths which was really easy. We de-rusted everything and cleaned them up. I took a wire stripper to them (on my angle grinder) and then primed, painted and coated them. if you have the time I highly suggest do it right. I now have brand new subframes!

In the handful of times ive done this, ive found it best to use Duplicolors truck bedliner. Works great for the lower rear valance and rocker panels too. Any actual undercoating product ive used either turns out too stinky, too clumpy, or brown.
Oh, and just pressure wash, dry and spray on. If no access to a pressure washer, degreaser, bristle brush and hose off should be fine too.turk@gutenparts.com

I shouldve added, before i sprayed with the bedliner, i attacked all spots of rust, or any area that could possibly startto rust, with POR 15 first. Just as added insurance since the any bedliner or undercoating will eventually wear out from road debris. The POR15 insures that at least the rust wont spread.

I'd just do it, especially if you have them out the car. ten more minutes VS doing it again.
