That stuff goes a LONG way when you're not worried about 2-coating because it's going to be in a 0-traffic area (covered by plywood). Lots of rust but only minor pitting in most places. Some pinholes but no seriously thin metal. I'll J-B Weld the pinholes. I got black POR because most of it will be in covered places and I wanted the contrast to see where I'm painting it. I'll topcoat any visible places later. Last seal on the pop-top. Have to figure out how to clean up the excess glue sprayed by my overzealous helper. http://www.texasvolksbus.org/1970/2010-02-22_2010-03-03/index.html G2
