I looked  at all the posts in the archives concerned with insulating the
body of the  vanagon.  I want to "paint" the interior body as the first
layer to  protect the painted sheet metal from rust, or developing more
rust.   Does anyone have a preference for this?

I came up with rust bullet -  www.rustbullet.com - as what on first read,
seems the best way to go.   Opinions?

Hi Jeff,
Just painted the interior in my 85 Westy.
& I think this would apply to any style bus.
& it concerns the lower body panel seam rust  problem.
After spraying anti rust solution & letting it soak  in.
Then wiping the surface clean,
I bought a tube of 3M seam sealer.
The kind that dry's pretty hard & solid.
I applied it heavily along the floor of this  panel,
In the corner of the channel between the sheet metal
& the interior.
And, on an angle, to promote "run off"
of any moisture that may ever collect there.
I also ran it up the sides a bit.
I then primer over the top of it.
Seam rust..... goooo awwayyy !!!
Just food fer thought, YMMV :o)
