Re: My Free Truck-Project Rhino

I've decided to start small and work my way outward. I pulled up the floor mat to find holes in the usual locations and loose flaky rust over most of the floor. Tomorrow I will be killing the rust with a NAPA brand rust killer which works great as I have used it for years. I will take a few photo's of the before and after treatment and of my fiberglass repairs.

It goes like this, kill the rust and wait 24 hours for it to cure. Then sand the floor not covered in rust followed by at least two coats of fiberglass resin. Let that cure then scuff/sand it with 36 grit and apply more resin along with heavy mat cut to fit each rusted out area. Once all the holes have been filled and smoothed with the 36 grit I will shoot Rhino over the entire floor.
