Howdy!
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice regarding paint for refinishing the van's floor.
I'm fixing up an E350 into a camper, and need to tackle the rusty interior floor at the moment. (the pics attached are of the rust removal in progress.)
I am in the process of grinding/stripping the rust right now, and will follow up with some rust converter primer. After that... Well, two options stand out but I don't know which is better. Any thoughts?
1. Rust-oleum Industrial Enamel (or some auto-gloss spray paint, also by rustoleum.) - This floor is going to be covered after all, so I think this paint will be fine. (even though it is rattle-can.) The major goal is refinishing the original interior to be free of rust, not to have a pretty floor.
2. Hammerite Rust Cap - I hear amazing things about the durability and rust stopping ability of this stuff... But is it worth the price? And is it really a durable epoxy-like finish?
So that's my conundrum. Do I spend more and brush on the Hammerite? Or do I go cheap and use the spray enamel? Keeping in mind that the refinished floor will not show - it will be covered in wood flooring in the end. (or vinyl tiles...)
What have you used to refinish parts of your interior?
