new here.....Rhino restoration on the lower portion of the truck

[squeaky3]

so did i miss it, or what

did you just clean the body and the rust off and bedline it

or did you actually replace the rusted sections with new metal panels then do it?

 

[Sully]

not 100% but I think he cleaned it up and rhino lined it

 

[squeaky3]

i wouldnt just clean it up and do it

i would replace the rusted panels with new metal then do it....which is what i would like to have done this summer

The blue looks amazing with black. Was that blue a factory color cause I love it.

looks to be a slight diferent shade of my trucks color, i the know older trucks his kinda color were more blue than mine is

Im also intrested to see if he put new metal in or filled it with bondo or just went over it. i heard that rust can actually eat through the bed coating and bonda would last about a month tops. On my hunting truck i thought about putting POR 15 down first just for a little extra assurance but its kind of in the air because its so expensive. Any ideas about this?

(sorry to thread jack btw)

if it was just surface rust, then it can be ground off, rust inhibited and then covered so long as he got proper adhesion.

I found that adhesion promoter worked like the cats ass when I bedlined the inside of my Cherokee and then rocker guarded the rockers. I just used a flapper wheel on my grinder to get some rust off and give the primer something to bite to.

from the looks of that first pic that he posted...there is alot of rust and it has eaten through the metal already

whole reason i asked what he did because if the metal wasnt replaced its just not gonna look very good

 

[Sully]

i didnt even look that hard.... but what I said about surface rust, I'd still say
