ok guys got what i think might be a paint question but with some of the custom bodywork on my truck there is alot of new metal going in and there is alot of places like the bed floor that i’m flating out. basicly the floor i’m just cutting steel and drilling holes in the steel then plug welding it to the ribs on the current floor to give it the flat look i want. now for for the question how do i treat the underside of the new steel and the floor the keep it from rusting out from the inside? ---
