bed work...
Hey guys, I need some advice on preserving the bed on my 73 f100. I searched the forums but couldn't find any specific anwers... I want to get a linex spray in coating put in my truck bed. My question is in regards to the prep work that I should do before hand. There is a slight amount of rust in the bed right now with about 3 or 4 rust holes the size of half dollars at the front of the bed.
Do I need to strip the old paint out of the bed and treat the rust before putting down a spray in lining? I was thinking about having the inside of the bed sandblasted and then using por's metal ready and patch paste and then applying a few coats of por-15 before having the spray in liner put down. Do you think this is overkill?
If I do end up getting the bed media blasted is it ok to leave the bed on the truck for this?
