Rustoleum on my floorboards ??
Greetings,
At 80K miles I just couldn't stand my front carpets anymore and ripped them out.
They're on the curb for the Trashman so I can't change my mind later. The floorboards
underneath are in pretty good shape - I've never needed the drain plug, for instance. But
there are a few rust spots and lots of scratches. Why not use a can of rustoleum on it ?
Too lazy to want ot be daubing little drip-drops of touch-up all over an area that's for
foot traffic not for show.
TIA,
Andrew

Re: Rustoleum on my floorboards ??
Rustoleum should work but you might consider using the new urethane bedliner
materials (i.e. Herculiner) It is much tougher and will be much longer
lasting.

Re: Rustoleum on my floorboards ??
HammerRite is a much better Rust paint than rustoleum is, in my opinion.
Billy Ray's idea is great. I did away with my carpet and did the entire
flooring with the Rhino Liner. It's really great. Everyone I have spoken
with about it love it. It is not as hard and durable as the normal spray on
bedliners, but it's pretty close. It can be gouged and or scratched if you
try hard enough. Bug you really need to dig at it with a screwdriver to
scratch it. If expense is not an option, I'd go with a real spray on
bedliner. But, I was into the do it yourself liner for about $150.00 total,
and a spray on was going to be about $500.00+. I'm completely happy with
mine.......
