Did I ruin my roof rack project?

I recently decided to build my own custom roof rack using super strut. Everything has been going good but I realized I may have messed up - I used rust-oleum undercoating spray instead of the truck bed liner like I should have. The store was out and I just grabbed that instead. I have spent quite a few hours measuring and cutting the steel and getting it all to fit nicely. Then I sprayed it with the undercoating spray and used my last two brain cells to look into if this was a good idea after I sprayed it. From what I can see the undercoating spray will likely melt in the sun and become gooey and get on things that are touching it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Will I need to start over? Thank you! submitted by /u/Far_Space_386 [link] [comments]
