Did you epoxy primer the under side of the rusted area?
Hi Mike,
thanks for the tip with POR 15 putty. Indeed this stuff seems to be super durable and workability is excellent. I also used it for the other rusted spots.
And painting primer over is no issue at all. Works well.
Epoxy primer on the underside of the rusted areas: You mean the double layered shelf..... prime the underside of the through the round openings?
(No epoxy primer but I used KBS rust real with a brush and treated the underside of the rusted out portions. I did not use the Tamco epoxy primer there)
Or did you mean my 2 very large rusty spots in the middle of the trunk lid?
(No I did not do anything from no the underside which has the gray paint. The gray was fine and undisturbed...)

See attached the finished trunk

Thanks, Martin
