Nice job on the floor! Yeah, what color?

Nice whitewalls!! :D

Fawk this POS.
I tried posting the after pics but it woulnt let me.

anyway, the paint goes:
1st coat: [rolled in, front interior only] Rustoleum Heavily Rusted Metal Primer

2-4th coats: [sprayed on] Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer

how should i protect my investment? i know there is some oily-waxy tupe spray/brush on coating to prevent rust... cant remember the name?

huh huh, huh huh

you said .... whitewall

huh huh, huh huh



:flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Just bringin' it back to the top to ask again... how should i protect the underside of the diamond plate from rust? i can primer it and paint it but that will chip away from rocks from the tires.... i know there was an undercoating discussed a long time ago before a server change so the thread is lost.... i THINK the name was wax-oil or something similar??:confused:

Thanks, Matt

It is called putting a pound of paraffin wax in a gallon of diesel fuel in your pump sprayer and spraying the whole under side every year in the fall. This is what all my relatives in Minnesota use on their trucks and it works remarkably well.

I've also heard of guys Rhino Lining the underside of their Cruisers...protects and cuts down on road noise

Does the diesel brake down the paraffin? (Melt it?) or do you warm it up and shoot it?????? Sounds like a cool trick.

When I was painting some years ago, our NAPA store had a clear rubbery coating to spray on the lower body panels to protect from stone chips. Called something like stone guard?? Don't know how it would hold up to off road.
