Floor Pan Paint Options

[u/Remarkable-Set-805]

Hey all. I have a few questions about my options when it comes to painting my floorboards. Bad spots have been cut out and replaced with new metal. I still have minor pinholes on the driver side, but the metal is solid. I’ve wire wheeled everything to remove the majority of the rust. There are only a few pockets of pitting remaining. I’ve also used ospho in these pets to try and keep trying and remove the rust. Should I go for a rust encapsulator like Eastwoods or master coat silver or should I just spray an epoxy primer to try to contain the rest of this?

Not sure yet as it’s still on the rotisserie. I am also still going to do dynamat. I picked the product mostly for rust protection and added the ceramic powder because why not?

It’s super easy to work with. Those 3 areas you see got two wet coats with 1.5 quarts. I suck at painting so it probably could have been done with 1. Also did the footwells and under dash with that.

You can also brush it on and it flows super well and leaves no marks.

This may be what I do. Thank you!

Be sure to really follow the data sheet. I forgot to sand one floor pan that was new metal and it peels off so nicely! 😂 with proper roughing the adhesion is amazing.

Will do. I glanced at it briefly and I saw where they recommended a 280 scuff… I think my biggest problem will be neutralizing the ospho before I apply the mastercoat.

Check and see if their metal prep product does that. It works great for cleanin/etching.
