I used a quart of SEM rust-shield to do the following on a 107:

1. Most of the insides of wheel wells, front fenders and fender/fender lips
2. Areas of the rockers where the original undercoating had peeled
3. Bad trunk seal area
4. Spare rear LH and center under-bumper parts
5. The LH of the above on the car
6. A small part of a door
7. The area around the front bumper "slides", LH/RH
8. The battery box in the trunk of the car
9. An entire spare fender inside

After doing the above (just barely) with a quart, everything was heavily gone over with rubber undercoating (several cans of body-shop grade stuff). I put it on while the rust-shield was still a fresh and a little damp, and I'm pretty sure it will stick.

After seeing just how fast rust can hit when the undercoating is undermined, I'm going to have to be on the watch for this from here on out.
