Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 | I am looking for a heavy duty primer to put on the floor in my '61. I have the floor stripped to metal, rust and old paint. I need to take a wire wheel to it and clean it up before I primer it.
I am curious what you guys think about primers.
Do I need brush on? I like the idea of brush on cause I am not gonna have overspray everywhere. I am not doing a full overhaul so pedals, stering wheel, etc. are still in the cab.
There was a post a while back about some sort of farm equipment paint that is realy strong.
Anyways, mostly I just need some help brainstorming.

That should help seal and insulate. Then the Dynamat for temp and more sound deadening.

If you were to paint it assembled it would be almost impossible to remove the screws and cover. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 | not sure what your looking for but when i had mine blasted about ten yrs ago,i brushed on rustoleum primer then a couple coats of their gloss black.then the project stalled for 8or9yrs and sat outside unprotected,it held up very well.this was the outside bottom.i would do it again...............dave

I was thinking about a rustoleum product. I have had good luck wth them in the past. I wasn't sure if it was durable enough for a floor application though.

I brushed a couple of coats of BPS paint(Tractor Supply)to fill in pits and them painted. It looks OK. I don't know if this is the best in cab primer but brushing the paint on your floor will save the time masking and will slow the rusting process. Good luck and have fun.
