Here's a question for modelers who do weathering....do you weather the underside of the rolling stock?

Photo is from an E Bay model that's for sale and I noticed the underside weathering and wonder how standard is this practice.

I always do my undersides. First I spray grimy black, then rust. I do them pretty much the same as I do the trucks. An example of a caboose and a flat car.

While I have weathered a few on the bottom, it's not a standard procedure for me. I have mainly done it on old Roundhouse cars with metal floors. I do weather many air brake reservoirs that can be seen from the side.
