Anyone paint their stock floor pans?
 

Well in the spring im ripping up the carpet and replacing it, and fiqured why its bare why not sand/prime/paint the floor pans? Has anyone done this before? How did you do it, i noticed alot of factory body sealer on both floor pans.

Anyone got pics?

painting floor pans
 

I have a rust bucket 78 bird that was given to me free 4 years ago. I had to weld in new metal into the floor in several places. Once that was done I painted both surfaces with POR 15. gloss black. It is now solid and strong.

I ended up buying POR-15 the floorpan resto kit a week ago. How do you like the results of the POR-15? The directions make it seem its very unstable.

I painted the floors on my GTO with POR-15 a few years ago and then just last month painted the floors on my Formula with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator in red oxide. Both went on really well. I scraped up all the carpet underlayment/deadener and then wire wheeled the floor to clean and rough it up a little before painting. You can paint around the seam sealer or cover it if you like, I believe both paints will cover it. Kind of hard to say if any of it ever came up since it's under the new deadener and carpet but I seriously doubt either of those floor pans will ever rust! Here's a pic of the front driver floor. I think the color comes pretty close to the factory red oxide.

I have used POR15 for yearsand it works very well-good stuff, I never have had ant recuring rust.

I rolled in bed liner on my floors. Cut down the road noise!
