What to treat the inside body with?? was created by davert85
Iv removed all the seats and carpet etc and want to treat the inner body work with some rust proofing water repelling substance of some kind. Any suggestions?

It all seems ok in there but i may not put the carpet back in as its damp, stinks and isnt in good nick anyway. I often stand the back (dont have rear seats) when shooting foxes, rabbits etc so want to make sure i give the bare metal a coat of something that protect it, mainly from rust. I am fitting a floor in the back but this wont be for a little while. So chaps what should i use to treat the inside body?

Thanks in advance.

David

I have put lots of coats of Hammerite where new patches have been welded and it has stood the test of time.

There is POR15 paint which is meant to be really tough but needs lots of good prep and is not cheap.

Anything tough and keeps oxygen from contacting the metal, maybe a zinc or red oxide primer before paint? As you stand in your jim it might be worth putting down some of that adhesive sandpaper texture flooring. It's used on boat decks as anti-slip.

Thanks chaps. Good tips.

I shall not be placing a new carpet in (if at all) for a while, so what ever i use has to not remain wet or slippery etc after application.

Cheers again :)

Maybe throw down sand on the wet paint to add some grip.

Grip isnt am issue to be honest. I considered a sandpaper grip tape type covering but thought dirt would be impossible to get out. Its a farm/shooting vehicle as well as a landy slayer on the lanes so has as much mud and crap on the inside as it does on the outside
