Suggestions? Rusty cut n fold rear

[hupo224]

I have some pics. I plan in the future to sand down the lip, rustoleom then either rubber trim or bed liner. But I'm worried about the rusting "pieces" that I "folded" back. I don't know what to do about it. I have a hole in the front of my rear quarters. When I made the cuts in the rear a ton of water came out of the rear quarter panel. (I just recently fixed my mystery water leak in the passenger side.

PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

I do like that. I'm just worried about the rust. In time I'd imagine it would get worse?

If you're really worried about the rust on the back, get a heat gun and "unfold" them so to speak. Grind down any rust that has formed on the back. Spray it with some epoxy primer and single stage (or rustoleum ::rollseyes:: ). Fold the lip back like it is now. Spray some more epoxy, and finally topcoat with some bedliner or other urethane based product.

Or just cut all that crap out and do it right.

You could also sand it down to remove the surface rust, then POR15 it. It wont rust after that.

I cant weld lol. I'll prob grind it down or put a brush wheel on then por15 all the bare metal.

Thats ok, the POR15 will work like a charm if its prepped right. Its good stuff.

Yeah I never worked with it before. I figure I was gonna "bent back" the folded pieces. Brush them and the rear lip down to bare metal and I guess use a paint brush with por15 on it. Then black rustoleom. Then I should be set from there. Either fenders or rubber trim in the future.
