Normally I’d suggest rubberized undercoating, POR15, bedliner, and I think that’s a better option for vehicles in snow free areas, but I’d worry about missing a spot and rust getting under there where you’re at. I think if you were willing to be really thorough about it, you could hit the bottom with a zinc chromate primer, and then use an undercoating method of your choice, and that would be your best bet. Otherwise, you know what the alternative is. At least it can’t rust in there.

Ive got rust bleeding thru the tan the green u see peeling off to metal and i see areas of clearcoat issues maybe theres no saving original finishes here ive found the paint codes and ordered a small bottle of each i had thought maybe id be able to do some good that way i dont think theres a worse painter then myself it looked like crap no matter what i did so thats why i was looking for suggestions

Only thing I could suggest, is some punctuation.

Periods are the answer. You know ****’s going wrong when there’s no more periods.

Means you can indiscriminately blow your load because the damage has already been done.

So only thing is complete body overhaul im curious what does that do to the value of our square body's
Obviously if its a rust bucket u gave it new life and realy increased the value if u have one original good shape but paint job finaly goes just curious if the value increases with new paint job
