Painting the Floorpan

14th October 2012
No rest for the wicked, its time to turn the pan over and start wire brushing again.

 

 

With the pan bear, I gave it a a good clean with Thinners then masked up and applied seam sealant.  Once this had dried, I applied the KBS Aqua Clean.

 

Once washed off, a treatment of rust blast, and then when completely dry the Rust Seal paint.

 

 

One coat of Rust seal on.  Applied with a brush, the finish was  a little streaky in colour.  Applied the next two coats with a gloss roller and the finish was great.

However, I wanted to make doubly sure so applied 2 spray coats of hammerite over the top within 2 hours of applying the Rust seal.

 

 

I am completely amazed by the finish.  This will be the finished surface, no underseal, waxoyl or anything.  Just a shiny silver floor with everything attached to it in black.

Next, the jobs I have been waiting for, stripping/cleaning and painting all of the suspension parts ready to re-fit and get this chassis rolling again.
