thanks
Is rust considered a body style?

I figured it would take some type of spraying. But how do you spray inside a space that is 8' x 3' x 3" with limited access points?

Surface rust: Can't see it from the drivers seat. Rot rust: Power wash or sandblast and then bedliner spray or undercoat. But don't blast thru it. I never would feel good about just Por 15 right on old virgin rot rust. Maybe that's OK though.
