Rust repair, primers, bedliner and POR-15.

Yes, done all the time.

Just out of morbid curiosity, how many hours did you spend (almost) getting this done? How much money? I'm curious because I just got a part-time job at a blasting place and they do whole cars there in a few hours for around $500, completely stripped using plastic media inside & out to bare metal. Same thing with fiberglass bodies and it doesn't damage it at all.

If you're really looking at bare metal with rust removed, I'd suggest looking for a primer called "VersaPrimer". Some people also call it Green Death because it's an acid etching primer that really digs into the surface, but is not the easiest stuff to work with at home. POR stands for "Paint Over Rust", so if you have surface rust you want to cover, it's great for that. POR doesn't work well on bare smooth metal, it just flakes off in big chunks. It actually requires a slightly rusty or rough surface to adhere to metal.

Good luck, - Jeff G

Man! Don't even talk about the advantages of having a pro do the job vs. at least my amateur attempts. When I put my lift on

I did it myself, by myself, with some hand and air tools, a floor jack and some really cheep floor stands. It took me close to 40 hours to do the job. Some time later I was at one of the better 4 wheel drive shops in town and I asked what the labor charge would have been for the job, $350 and they get the kits installed in a day. By the time it was all said and done I "earned" about six bucks an hour for my time and effort.
