What's best?
Upto now I've read epoxy mastic, as it can be put direct on bare metal and can be painted over!
Or, my mate who's a painter by trade says to etch prime, 2k prime, seam seal the seams, stonechip and paint then.
Any ideas or recommendations please

Once epoxied I stone chipped it then used Dinitrol as a final wax.(Similar to OEM) and cavity waxed in the nooks and cranies.

Looking into 3m bag sealer if anybody has any reviews on this or advice on it. Gives an oem finish!

I used the 3m stuff, here a link to my project. I find using stone chip on hte underside is no good, as in time it starts to fake. 3m is rubber in a bag, best thing i have come by…..i hope my process helps people too.

Started lke this.. Looking pretty reasonable to be honest bar a few obvious bits-
..
Mid way through it looks like this, think i've been vindicated and well worth the effort.. If i'm gonna spend nearly 4K on the top, seems silly to risk leaving the underside without even a little investigation.. I know it's a pretty solid floor and most of it is just surface rust.. but who knows what that would be like If left for 2-5 + more years..
