Infamous_VR6
Hello everyone, My name is Victor and i own a 1997 Volkswagen Jetta VR6. I'm currently in the process of building it from the ground up.
I purchased this as my first car for a very good price, it ran fine but had some issues. I decided to just go full out and change as much as i can and repair everything that needed repairing. I pulled the whole interior, got myself new set of Black seats, black carpet, a black dashboard and interior trim pieces. I pulled the headliner and am wrapping it in black also. upon removing the interior and all the sound deadening i came across a rust hole in the floor pan, I pulled out the welder and patched up the floors. The interior is down to bare metal right now. I'm in the process of lifting the car and removing all the factory undercoating. My plans were to make this car as rust proof as possible.
I started doing alot of research on rust proofing a car, went through multiple sites and forums. As you guys probably know they all just tell you to throw some Por-15 or Bedliner over it. I took some time to actually think and realized that it would just start chipping and trapping water and rust again and all my welding and fixing would be useless. Finally i came across this forum and learned that the best way to go about this is Painting it with Epoxy and then lay the bedliner over it.
So i settled on purchasing the SPI Epoxy black and the SPI Bedliner kit with Gun. My question is how much will i need?
I want to Spray the epoxy on the whole undercarriage, the interior and the engine bay. The SPI bedliner on the undercarriage, for the interior i'm just going to use some regular duplicolor Bed Armour if the bedliner kit insnt enough to do both.
Would 1Gallon of SPI Epoxy Black, 1Gallon of Activator, 1 SPI Bedliner Kit with Gun be enough to do my car?
For reference this is my car.
