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_
(http://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)

Just a  thought

Jeff,
Yes, as I remember, before the seam sealer,
I did use Por 15.
I use that stuff everywhere !!!
I painted two coats on every piece of suspension,
after I glass basted it.
Wish I would have powder coated it,
but Oh Well :o)
Such is life !!!
Best,
