What are you guys using to seal the floor pan and where are you getting it from?

If you search here and on www.jeepforum.com, you should come up with tons of ideas...I know most of the guys use the roll on stuff, but I know some roll on's work better than others.

Herculiner at AUTOZONE. Use a wire wheel to take everything down and wash it out before you spread on the liner. mines been in for over a year now with two coats.

Can you apply bedliner directly over minor rust? If not, will it adhere to a POR-15 basecoat?

It's not the same as the purple stuff that turns rust into a black, chemically-changed surface, is it?

You refer to the crap that turns iron oxide to zinc oxide? We used that on a Studebaker restoration years ago, the longer it sat the harder it got, the painter were ready to shoot us for ever putting it on. Good stuff if you don't need a finished look. No, it's not POR-15, that has a harder enamel-like shell that can only be defeated by nukes, brakefluid and years of sunlight, afaik.
I'm trying to decide if some of the stick-on rubberized type stuff is better or worse in the long-term than a spray/roll on type applicant. I have NO rust or even worn paint right now, and I'd like to keep it that way, as well as make the cabin a little quieter.

Ya, that's the stuff, I think.SCW said:
When I first came out here from CA, mine didn't have a spot of rust. Now, complete different story. I've used some of that stuff in a spray can, then a coat of black paint, and it works well underneath where exposed to the road salt. Marinas around here use the brushed on stuff. But I don't know squat about painting. So, that's why I asked. Then again, I don't care what the floor pan's finish looks like, as long as I can keep it from rusting further, and protect it as best I can.
