Comments: To: Roger Van Till <rvantill@SBCGLOBAL.NET>

Hi All,
What I did underneath, was to apply a coat of Rust Bullet
Then a top coat of Glossy Black Rust bullet top coat.
To the whole underside of the van.
I removed the spare tire holder
And the gas tank. (needed replacing)
And Coated them the same.
I them trailered it over to Rhino truck bed coating.
and had them spray the underside of the Van,
and the upper and underside of the gas tank and spare tire carrier.
Should be good for another 40 years !!!
Now, if I can just find a way to get that paint off of my head.
Hope that doesn't take 40 years .... ;o(
best,
John C...
