Raptor under tub, go or no-go?

I know this is a repeat thread, but can't seem to locate the older ones. Pulling the tub off my 90 to swap a dented rear cross member and was considering using color matched raptor on the under side of the tub, and seat box bottom. Tub have a corrosion free life in Italy, but likely not in the Northeast.

Any good reason not to do it? Not touching frame, inside of tub, or top of seatbox.

Thanks

I raptor lined the interior in Arles Blue. I was super happy with how easy it was to do and how it turned out. I think it would work great for under the tub as well.

I dont like the stuff for interior surfaces. Have done tubs and floors/ footwekks @ customer request. That said, love it as an undercoating. Did the underside of mu own 110 tub with it.

Was thinking of spraying the rear wheel wells with this to cut down on road noise. Any comments on using this as a sound suppressor?

Thanks for all the input. I'm going to run it on all underside panels and will contemplate seat box as well. Color match is simple as per my painter buddy, so will decide after if anything else once I see how it lays. Hoping for some sound deadening as well as a bonus.

$100 for 4L kit on fleebay is the going rate.

What primer are you guys using before applying the raptor coating? I was thinking us using zinc chromate.
Not sure, depends if I strip it down or not. I don't have much rust or corrosion (that I can tell). So may not need to acid etch. But I'll ask my painter prior to be sure.

I did my whole truck interior and exterior in a similar product. The entire truck was sprayed self etching primer over top of some painted areas some Bondo and some bare metal. This is a few years ago and it's holding up great
