Rust Bullet
I have found the stuff i am going to use gator gaurd. It is a spray-on ute linner .just spray with a swartz gun .It is like rino linning but diy it is extreamly hard and fully waterproof so will stop rust . It is available at automotive paint supply cost $250 for a 4l kit . can be applied very thick if needed .And will work as a sound deadener.
show us before, during n finished pics pls
Yep like someone else said KBS Rust bullet system..Australian made,same quality if not better than POR15 and cheaper..Plus it comes in other colours than just black.

yeh i`m not using it under the car i am doing inside the car with it as it`s a convertable baja and i wont be using carpet it will stop from getting scratched and allow me to hose the inside out i will use a tar based spray for underneth
POR 15 is great!
I am a Rhino linings applicator. It is a spray on 2part polyurethane, KBS and POR15 are solvent based polyurethane paints. I would assume that Gator
guard is a polyurethane as well, $250 for 4ltrs is very expensive, I charge about $750 for a ute tray and apply it 4mm thick which is about 17-18 ltrs
of product which is less than the material cost if you were to apply gator guard to the same thickness. Hippo liner is a cheaper alternative at $99
for 4ltrs. But remember anything solvent based is not as strong as a raw polyurethane due to the solvent breaking down the polymer chain which will
not be fully restored when the solvent evaporates. I have coated the chassis of my buggy top and bottom to use as a demo, I got a bit carried away and
coated the body as well. I thrash this buggy offroad and on the beach I wipe it clean just like a teflon saucepan. As far as chipping, I can only
speak for Rhino. It is virtually impossible to chip it is to flexible. I've seen it cut, I've seen it de-laminate due to poor surface preparation
but never chip. When I demo Black Betty (my buggy) I hit it with a hammer with no fear of damaging the Rhino, mind you I have to be careful not to
smash the fibreglass or dent the steel underneath. I have coated several chassis in both POR15 and KBS and both are excellent (as far as paints go)
but I think KBS sticks a little better.
Cheers Ian

where do you get the hippo linner from that price sounds good .
I have seen it on Ian's buggy - it certainly looks the goods.
