I am close to having the floor pans all cleaned and down to bare metal. I am doing the trunk and the front pan with new metal.
My question is should I do a coat of Por15 and call it good? I will be working on the fenders and other stuff for a couple months after, so it will be likely July until I get in for paint.
I have seen other members treat the bottom and inside metals with Por15 and just wondered will that cause any issues when I take it to be primered and painted? Any other suggestions?
The car will be stored in a heated garage the whole time.

Full Version: Floor Pan Protection - Por15 or other suggestions?
Larouex,
If the floor pan you are using is galvanized or galvanneal (just made through a different process), then you have nothing to worry about. Being in the garage will keep it dry and away from the elements.
I left some of my scrap galvanneal from the end of a steal coil outside for the whole winter, and there was no rust on it at all!
