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.
