This may go off on a slight tangent from your Monstaliner/Raptor question but...give thinned down seam sealer a try for an undercoating.
I've searched high and low for an OE comparable gravel guard and none of them come close to the texture and resiliency of the factory stuff. Yes, the UPOL gravitex can be tinted, but it is still just a bandaid solution since nothing better is commercially available.
The key is to thin a quality seam sealer down with a wax and grease remover(solvent based stuff, NOT paint thinner or anything of that matter since it will change the texture of the coating and the way it dries)
You can achieve the exact consistency of the body schutz and spray it out of a regular siphon(schutz) gun using a hand held cup(if you want to spray just a few test strips) OR an empty schutz can once you figure out the viscosity that you need for your project.
The coating will be extremely resilent yet go down as thick and "globby" as the OEM stuff. It will not shrink, crack and dry out like the Gravitex and is paintable.....and the best part..you can get it in the correct beige!
Give it a shot when you are experimenting with the Monstaliner and UPOL.
