Undercoating a driveshaft

jeepkj02 · **Posted:** Fri Jan 04, 2008 5:29 pm

Hi all, suppose someone decided to apply undercoating to a driveshaft, during a u-joint swap...

Would it cause the driveshaft to go out of balance?

What if so applied it evenly and wiped off the excess, so there isn't any "big clumps"??

Would the undercoating come off when the driveshaft spins, how long does it take to FULLY dry and cure, so this doesn't happen?

If all is hopeless, as a final resort, how much would it cost to get it sandblasted and painted or powder coated?

D'oh!!... :lol:

would paint but never undercoat it too much weight, plus it will never rust through and if you wheel it may get scratched off anyways

Just rattle can it,anything else will cause it to go out of balance,even sandblasting may cause a out of balance condition.

Im going to guess that he already coated it. :lol:

You should be able to sand all that off. Get a wire brush and put it on a drill, it will come off, but it will take some work.

Rattle can will work great as others have said.
