3M™ no cleanup water based undercoating delivers what you need in a vehicle undercoat – including corrosion and abrasion-resistance, high build capabilities, sound deadening qualities and fast direct to metal spray application – without the time and expense of cleanup. This water based formula sprays on consistently…
3M 08804 Water Based Undercoating is a black, water-based primer designed for corrosion protection on bare metal, OEM panels, and previously primed surfaces. It provides a durable barrier that prepares the substrate for subsequent topcoat applications in automotive body repair.
The formulation achieves full coverage in two coats, adhering well to metal and existing primers while maintaining flexibility to accommodate panel movement. Its water-based chemistry reduces VOC load compared with solvent-based alternatives, and the product’s flash point of 106 °F requires standard handling precautions for flammable liquids.
Use in a well-ventilated area and wear eye protection, gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator as required by the SDS. Follow first-aid guidelines for inhalation, skin contact, eye exposure, or ingestion.
