Whats a good product, besides the good but rather expensive por15,
for painting a floor that only has minor surface rust.
Looking for something that has a nice gloss finish maybe.

Any suggestions

Thanks

Por15 seems expensive but it goes alot further than you think. One litre would probably be enough to cover the whole floor. It is rock hard and even when brushed comes up very smooth and shiny.

Peter, do you need to apply a primer or rust converter first with either product or can it it be put srtaight on the floor.

Por works best on metal that has been blasted but you can just get the wire brush in the drill and clean it as best as you can, then just paint por15 with a brush or spray it.
1 litre will cover a floor

I wouldnt go past Por 15, its not that much more expensive and the finish is excellent.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

I have to agree that POR is the best option for floors. Keep in mind that POR15 Rust Preventative Paint is UV sensitive and will discolour over time if exposed to sunlight. If you plan to cover it with carpets, it won't matter. POR recommends that you clean with their brand of cleaner and pre treat with thier rust remover/preprimer. I find all thier products work very well and come in handy for all sorts of degreasing and rust removing jobs.
POR has a very glossy finish and looks excellent even when brushed on. In my experience a 100ml can is enough to do all the floor of a type 3 you can reach from inside the car, if you don't lay it on too thick, for $11 +P&H it's not bad value.
