Protect rear inner wheel well

[Ian]

71 Mach1 fastback: Is there a splash shield for the rear inner wheel wells or is it just spraying the metal with anti-rust.

Clean and prep the surface, spray it with a quality paint, then coat it with truck bed liner, undercoating, or similar product to protect it from chips and reduce noise. People on here will have their recommendations on what works.

Ok Sheriff, thanks for the truck bed liner idea.

Bedliner is a solid choice I have used that on other cars, and it has worked out well. On this car, I decided to use Boommat in my rear wheel wells. Back when I was doing my 69 Camaro, a friend recommended it to have a more factory sound deadener texture. I think it looked pretty good, and it made a significant difference in the road noise, so I used it again on this car. IMO, it does have a good texture, and it will protect the wheel wells.

I used bed liner as well, also used it on the bottom of the car. It has held up very well.

So you lined the wells with boom mat and then sprayed the bed liner on it ?
