Can you put underseal directly on bare metal or do you have to put etch primer on first then underseal?

Put zinc primer on the metal first, dont go wild with underseal or you'll be getting a nice little advisory about it every time you have your car MOT'd

Basically yes, it obscures their ability to check the chassis properly.
