|
|
Welded all the way around the rear pans we just installed on the TOP, but what should be done to the BOTTOM? Weld all around BOTH sides? I thought about seam sealer, but will the POR15 I'm applying to the bottom of the pan not adhere to the seam sealer?
OR should I do the POR15 THEN the seam sealer over it? I think I read that it's picky about what it adheres to and wanted to know the process. |

Usually you spot or plug weld the pans in from the top, and seam seal the top and bottom areas. I wasn't a fan of POR15, so I used Master Series products. After one coat of silver primer top and bottom, making sure to work it really good into the seam areas, I then put on seam sealer, another coat of primer over that, and then top coated everything. Most seam sealers are made to be painted over. _________________ scrapyards are for quitters
