    Undercoating should be pretty obvious if you look under the truck. What did they sell you for paint protection? Is it the clear film protection? You can see the edges of the clear film around the front of the truck if thats what you got.

    So like a cermaic coat for paint protection? Tough one to check, gonna have to trust them I guess. I always thought undercoat was black and rubbery/tar looking, but maybe someone else knows better than me.
