Protect Your Vehicle from the Elements with TNT Customs Auto Shop
Your vehicle faces everyday exposure to harsh weather like sun, rain, snow, ice, and wind. Over time, these elements can cause rust, corrosion, and structural damage that reduce your vehicle’s lifespan and resale value. That’s why protecting your vehicle’s undercarriage is one of the smartest long-term maintenance steps you can take.
At TNT Customs Auto Shop, we specialize in professional undercoating and rustproofing using military-spec ValuGard coatings designed for extreme climates. Whether you’re driving through Wyoming winters or battling year-round moisture and debris, our coatings provide long-term, permanent protection for your investment.
TNT Customs Protective Coatings
What Is Undercoating?
Undercoating is a durable protective barrier applied to your vehicle’s undercarriage including the frame, wheel wells, floor pans, and suspension components. This coating seals out:
-
Water
-
Road salts
-
Snow and slush
-
Mud and debris
-
Abrasive gravel and sand
At TNT Customs, we use ValuGard VG160, a military-spec, permanent undercoating that flexes with your vehicle, bonds to metal, and resists cracking and peeling even in Wyoming’s brutal freeze–thaw cycles.
What Is Rustproofing?
While undercoating protects your vehicle’s underside, rustproofing targets hidden areas prone to corrosion, such as:
-
Inner panels
-
Fenders
-
Tailgates
-
Door seams
-
Crevices and cavities
-
Upper body areas
Rustproofing adds protection to places that road spray and moisture tend to collect—especially areas where rust commonly begins.
Why Undercoating & Rustproofing Matter Year-Round
Snow & Ice: Winter’s Hidden Dangers
Winter brings a double threat:
-
Salt and de-icing chemicals accelerate oxidation.
-
Moisture buildup lingers in your undercarriage.
Road salt is one of the leading causes of premature rust. TNT Customs’ ValuGard coatings form a permanent barrier to block salt, moisture, and corrosive chemicals from damaging metal components.
Pro Tip: Regular winter washing—especially undercarriage rinsing—paired with ValuGard protection is the best defense.
Rain: The Corrosion Catalyst
Rainwater may seem harmless, but when mixed with dirt, pollution, and old road salts, it becomes a powerful source of corrosion. Our undercoating repels moisture and keeps oxidation from forming or spreading.
Pro Tip: Schedule routine inspections to keep your protective coating in peak condition.
Sun: The Silent Paint & Metal Deteriorator
UV rays can fade your paint and heat up metal, speeding up hidden corrosion especially in areas where moisture has already begun to collect.
While TNT Customs focuses on undercarriage and structural protection, you can support overall vehicle health by:
-
Parking in shade
-
Applying UV protectants to paint
-
Using a car cover during long-term parking
Remember: Even if your paint looks good, corrosion often begins underneath our coatings protect these unseen problem areas.
Wind: The Carrier of Abrasive Particles
Wind can carry sand, dust, and debris that accumulate on your undercarriage or scratch exposed metal.
TNT Customs’ undercoating and rustproofing prevent these fine particles from embedding into your vehicle’s surfaces and causing long-term damage.

FAQ – Vehicle Protection with TNT Customs
Q1: What is undercoating and why is it important?
A: Undercoating protects your vehicle’s underside from rust, corrosion, moisture, road salts, and debris. TNT Customs uses ValuGard VG160, a military-grade coating that permanently bonds to metal.
Q2: What is rustproofing and how does it work?
A: Rustproofing protects upper body panels and hidden areas prone to corrosion. It stops moisture and chemicals from reaching metal surfaces.

A: Yes, and it’s recommended. TNT Customs offers a bundle starting at $650 for full-vehicle protection.
Q4: How long does the process take?
A: Typically one business day. Drop off in the morning, pick up the next day.

A: Yes. A clean undercarriage ensures proper adhesion. TNT Customs can clean it for an additional charge.
Q6: Can these coatings be applied to vehicles with existing rust?
A: Yes. We apply a rust inhibitor to slow corrosion before coating. It won’t remove rust but will prevent it from progressing.
Q7: How long does the protection last?
A: ValuGard undercoating and rustproofing are permanent and backed by a lifetime warranty on qualifying vehicles.
Q8: Is the coating environmentally friendly?
A: Yes. ValuGard coatings are VOC-free and environmentally safe.
Sun: The Silent Paint Deteriorator
UV rays gradually fade and crack your vehicle’s paint, affecting appearance and value. While TNT Customs focuses on undercarriage protection, you can complement it by:
-
Parking in shaded areas or garages.
-
Using a UV protectant on exposed paint surfaces.
Remember: Even if your paint looks fine, corrosion can silently occur underneath. Our coatings protect the hidden areas where the sun and heat can accelerate rust.
