Probably not. The epoxy is a fairly rigid, brittle material which breaks
when the frame flexes. Either the engineers thought it wasn't as rigid as
it was or they thought the frame wouldn't flex as much as it does. In
contrast, most undercoating style materials are quite soft and really
won't break. (I don't know why they didn't use a standard rustproofing
material in the first place).
