Hey all,
Anyone use Rubberized Undercoating on the inside of the vehicle, on the floorpan (inside) under the carpet?? The instructions on the can says its NOT for the inside of the car, but no reason why. What is there some reason not to use it? Does it smell, how bad? What would be a better coating against liquid (soda, etc), that is also cheap, quick and easy to apply?
I had several rust holes in the floor pan of my '95 XJ. I finished welding in sheetmetal patches and sealing the edges on both inside and outside with autobody sealant. I'm doing this on the cheap side, so I painted the inside of the floorpan using a hand brush, 2 coats of Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer and 2 coats of Rustoleum Tough Enamel. The last coat is drying now.
It appears the rust holes may have begun from the inside out. (Previous owner never cleaned the vehicle, oh what a spectacle it was cleaning the carpets). The biggest rust hole just happened to be directly under the inadequate cup holder that would let drinks spill on the floor.
So, ontop of the paint, I'd like to coat the floorpan with something super liquid resistant (especially soda) to prevent this rust out again.
