Floor pan rust removal / prevention Options

[skiking]

1975 914 - one thing leads to another!

While working on brakes, I found rust in the recessed area of the driver's floor pan where the pedal braket is bolted down. Apparently moisture has gathered or sat in this low area of the floor pan.

I'm going to use a small metal brush to remove as much rust as possible. I'd appreciate advice on any products I could use to remove the remaining rust, and products I could use to coat the area to prevent further oxidation at this location.

Thanks,
Robbie

i believe - most of the rust encapsulating products are a system of a few products used together. one product for area prep, adhesion and then the paint intself - like por15 or rust bullet. a real body shop would probably skip this remedy and get all rust down to bare metal, then etch prime the area, then apply standard paint. i could be wrong : ))
