How much is needed to paint the inside floor pan and two trunks with the rust preventing POR-15? Pint or quart?

Would a regular auto paint shop carry this stuff or is ordering it off their sight the only way?

The stuff goes a looooong way, so I'd think a qt. would be plenty to cover what your coating. As far as where to get it, I'd go to the POR site and order it from there.....you'll have it in 2-3 days max.

The most important part is to prep the area properly prior to coating. If done correctly the stuff is tough as nails, if not, it'll peel off easily.

Just mak sure the steel is absolutely, completely, totaly, Mohave-like, dry. I took a household fan and let it blow air over the area to paint for an hour or two before painting.

I used a butane torch on all the rust...that did the trick for drying it!

I bought 2 of their 'starter kits' for $20ea. Each kit has Metal Ready, Marine Clean, and a 4oz can of POR-15.
