Hold on.....did this get painted then the welding work was done!?

[JonathanC]

[Andy!]

Whay coating did you put on the floor pan and boot ? looks tough! i'm going to use pickup load bed paint but if this is better i'l b using this haha

[JonathanC]

Thanks lads.

The coating I used was gravel tex stone chip. I painted it on with a brush because I didt want to risk any over spray on the nice painted shell. I wasn't going for looks in the boot I wanted a tough coating to prevent rust.
