lol yeah, i guess im so use to my truck leaking and trying to keep it from undercoating itself that i can't understand why people would want to cover their trucks with oil on purpose

oil works great on boxed in frames and on body seams. also dip all bolts in oil. i do agree with undercoat though. it works good and looks good.

Man I am glad to live in a mostly rust free enviorment. I don't like udercoating unless its a show truck or mud bogger, and the oil would work, but if you drive on dirt roads it would probubly took ugly as hell in a year. I think powder coating the whole frame is best.

Haha since ya'll use that for winter, how do we make ours stop rusting when we go to the beach year round?

ive used por 15, its great and rust bullitt is comparable.. you can also add paint pigment to it(4oz per gallon) to paint match it.

Yeah, my mom bought a few cans of the 3M stuff for her Mustang, stays on there all year long and works well, she doesnt drive on dirt roads often so i don't know how it will hold up to that. Her 00' Mustang is the only one in the area up here (New Brunswick, Salt in the Winter and 1 hour from the Ocean) That's relatively rust/cancer free. Bought my truck in Louisiana so i didn't have to worry with salt until this winter. The bed is dented, front left fender is bondo and the hood has a slight dent in the front lip of the hood (Hoping to replace with a Fiberglass Hood), going to buy all new body parts, Rhino line them and install them, never have to worry with them again (In and under the bed, Inside the fenders, Bed rails and all that other good stuff you can reach with those off the truck).

I used a urathane based box liner on the hood of my focus just to test it out and it'll even take me going at it with a screwdriver

Box liner does work extremely well but you have to be careful what you spray it on or you'll be hammering your sockets on bolts, it's a bi*ch to break free too......

Cold galvanizing compound does some cool stuff too...

I was going to say why not just use rhino liner. You can choose your color and also many places offer a lifetime warranty on it. When I put the new bed on its getting it inside. I live in ga. No salt.
