and stone damage protection. A commercial, sandless, petroleum base undercoating or other materials

surfaces to a thickness of 1.6 mm to 3.2 mm (1/16 to 1/8 in.), except to the drive shafts, drain holes,
lubrication points, engine/transmission oil pans, fuel tanks, heavy castings, suspension components,
heat shields, heat diffusing devices, catalytic converters, and areas 30.5 cm (12 in.) or less from the
exhaust system(s) as well as other areas specifically excluded by the chassis manufacturer. These
areas shall be kept free of coating material. Chassis frame, underside of engine compartment hood,
and underbody surfaces in excess of 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) thickness, or that are inaccessible without
removing vehicle fuel tank(s) or other major components shall not require undercoating.
