    Starting to refinish trunk and body panels. What is all this gummy black crap! It is 1/2 inch thick in some spots. Pain in the rear to get it off. Any suggestions??

    Yep, and pictures, too. I have had good luck with the HF guns, not to start a Harbor Freight discusssion. But, they're like $10 and you can buy several..

    I don't know. Factory coating or maybe someone went crazy with bed liner spray as a rust prevention?

    If you got it cold enough, would it harden so you could media blast if off?

    Under coating that is tar based, paint on bedliner hadn't been invented when that was put on. it was originally put on those fenderwells to dull the thud of rocks hitting the undersides of the wheel wells plus maybe seal the seams.
