Scott,
You might want to try Eastwood's Corroless rust stabilizer.
Eastwood says this is the same stuff that they use on offshore
oil rigs for rust protection. I am told that Corroless is the
same as POR (short for Paints Over Rust) which is a favorite with
local rednecks and has likely graced the floorboards of many a
Trans-AM. You can prepare the metal with a wire brush. Just
make sure that there's no flaking left when you apply Corroless.
I'm using Corroless on the floorboards of my MK1, so even if I
don't know what I'm talking about, you know that I practice what
I preach. Please note the "redneck" slur inserted in accordance
with Allan's advice. I'm not sure whether it's racial, ethnic or
other. Maybe we can get some advice on that.
BTW, Eastwood includes the following notices:
CONTAINS: "Contents partially unknown", ...
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
With a little luck we may be able to get a rise from both the Alien
lunatic faction and the Environmental crowd as well as the
usual PC do-gooder bunch. Good luck.
