This is really cheap though, I might as well try making some underbody panels with it.
Well, I cannot guarantee anything, but this plastic has been on my car as wheel well skirfs for a long time now without the slightest change from the sun. The old coroplast, or a plastidipped or painted surface would already have faded long ago. Unpainted, this is the best black surface I have had.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
