Jim,
John Bevis answered my question on the forum. The undercoating is to cut down on the vibration and the corresponding sound. It has nothing to do with heat.

Subject: RE: [General Amphicar Discussion-t-19906] Undercoating on Fan Shroud
Ted, has anyone responded to your question? I just removed the fan shroud from my amphi (to replace the weatherstrip) and noticed the same undercoating.
I wonder if it is there to reduce the heat tranfer?
Please let me know if you get a response.

Is there a reason that the Amphicar fan shroud is covered in a thin coat of undercoating? Is it to reduce vibration or?? I am in the process of stripping the shroud for restoration and wondering if I should recoat with a similar undercoating or just paint it?
Thanks,
Ted
