Too much.

Undercoating for years was synonymous with sleazy car salesmen selling you extra features you didn't need. "Bought the undercoating" was an idiom that meant you got swindled.

It's mostly forgotten today, because the metal and the paint on modern cars are far more rust-resistant than they were 40 years ago.
