By "undercoated" are you talking some type of anti-corrosion paint or are you talking about that rubber stuff they spray on the inside of cars where they use salt on the roads?

If you are talking paint, then yes. If you are talking the rubber stuff, then no.

I'm guessing the OP meant primer for undercoat. I can't imagine anyone considering automotive-style undercoating on an airplane.

All my internal parts are/will be primed as per Canada's MDRA recommendation.

I've gotta ask because he is new the forum, which means he might be new to aircraft building, which means he might just fill it with auto undercoating. Believe me, I've seen crazier things done out of ignorance.
