hello ray, brush on
truck bed liner should work.... you could also try swamp cooler tar (you have to live in the southwest to know what a swamp cooler is). same as roof repair tar. comes in 1 qt or 1 gal or 5 gal cans. all you'd need is a qt, maybe 2 at the most. it comes in black traditional tar or a newer aluminum color type. the aluminum type is better against UVs if exposed to the sun. thin with mineral spirits. since we are pretty much rust free around here I haven't tried either on my bug. on my motorcycle when I stripped the fenders down to bare metal, I coated the insides of the fenders with "PEGARUST PRIMER". this was recommended for marine environment structural steel so it should work excellent in the dry southwest. It's made by Mythas. It's been tens years now with no rust, separation or even a chip or scratch yet. Forms a pretty tough semi-flexible undercoating type protection that also seems to help deaden fender road noise. <<http://www.mathys.be/asp/productgroup.asp?ID=1>> click "products" at the top and on the left side bar look for "anti-corrosion primer" The NOXYDE primer is also good on rusty or rust prone steel. <<http://www.mathys.be/asp/productgroup.asp?ID=1>> Hope this helps, Robert Albuquerque '59 Bug > To: [email protected] > Date: Sun, 3 May 2009 21:43:18 -0400 > From: [email protected] > Subject: [vintagvw] Bed Liner on the Floor Pan? > > Hi All, > > I am about to weld new pans onto my 69 IRS tunnel and was thinking about how > best to protect them.?
