For what it's worth, I bought a bunch of thick plastic sheeting to cover the floor, a gallon of "Krud Kleaner" heavy duty cleaner with grease cutter in it, a kersosene siphon a scrub brush, a harbor freight face shield, breathing mask, rubber gloves, a spray bottle and a 3 gallon bucket.
After the floor was safely covered and I was dressed up like a giant condom, I sprayed the inside of the fender wells with the Krud Kleaner and then scrubbed them. I used the kerosene siphon with one end stuck in a gallon jug of water and used the other end as a hose to rinse rinse with, and (since I was rinsing slowly), used the bucket to catch most of the dirty water as it ran off the bottom of the fender well. I was surprised at how much (almost all) of the run-off I managed to catch.
I did this twice on each side, since I was already at it. This method got things very clean.
Then I threw some newspaper onto the sheet plastic to soak up the 'drippings', bundled the whole thing up and tossed it in a trash bag.
I let it dry a couple of days and then put on Rustoleum primer over the old undercoating.
Not sure what kind of coating to put on next; the primer is an interim step while I decide. I'd like some kind of rubberized coating, but I don't have any good recommendations yet.
However as far as (nonrubberized) paint when I was talking to someone from IAP, in the course of our discussion he recommended Eastwood Chassis Paint
