When Fluid Film "NAS" is packaged in aerosol cans, it becomes Fluid Film "AS". "NAS" is used for all undercoating, general lubrication, and rust preventing applications. Fluid Film "NAS" is the most popular formula. Per Kellsport Products, a major Fluid Film distributor: "There are several different Fluid Film formula's. Everywhere I've called will only spray their own products. I just wish I could pay a shop to spray it. I am getting desperate - Chicago Streets and Sanitation lays it on thick! I think I am going to order a gallon of NAS and try it out myself, they're about $50. I was considering the Corrosion Free as mentioned above but received a $300 quote, I was hoping to accomplish this for a bit less. I am baffled that there is not a more reputable undercoating business in Illinois. I'm looking at 300mi one way to Krown in St. I'm located in northwest Chicago near O'Hare. The Krown application of course is also sprayed inside closed compartments using both factory access points and drilled holes.įrom all the info I see, you are right to avoid the old-time "tar" application. I'd say you could do a good Fluid Film job with probably 4 spray cans. The single gallon I got last year has sufficed for these three applications. it didn't rust away to nothing.) I know I mustn't apply as heavily as I've seen others say they've done. I just did the Liberty again three days ago, the '97 Explorer is no longer here. Otherwise I have sprayed the underside of the Ford Explorer and Jeep Liberty with Fluid Film from an airsprayer "undercoating gun". While I was in there last fall, another gentleman was there with an elderly Buick (Oldsmobile?) who had come down all the way from Chicago, so you may still consider it. Louis, I'm not sure the next closest Krown outlet is in Ohio. Louis, and just returned for the annual re-application. Took my new Nissan Frontier to Krown Rustproofing, in St. What part of Illinois? I'm in Illinois, near St. Most people here haven't even heard of Fluid Film. There are no shops anywhere around me that will do undercoating. Good luck!Īnd to the original question: I'm in the same boat as you. Right now would be a perfect time to apply. I think I'll wait untill mid October or November next year. I applied in September and the CR-V has seen a lot of miles since in some pretty hot weather and rain and the Fluid Film is holding up pretty well. It's a good time to give everything under there a good once over anyway. I applied mine pretty thick and took my time so it took the better part of 2 hours on the truck and about an hour on the CR-V. The overspray will get on everything in a 20 ft radius (or more). It is going to make a mess of the underside of the car (duh). You WILL need to wear a mask and glasses and old clothes. If you do decide to DIY, realize that it is going to make a mess. I've read about plenty of people applying it with an airless paint sprayer. It would take a lot of aerosol cans to cover the same area as thick as I like. I bought a fluid film kit with the "pro" gun this fall. Wish you were closer, I'd love to help you out.
