Mehran 2019 - rust forming on the floor

[asgharabdullah18]

Hi everyone. I recently took my car for a wash and the labor there told me that the floor of car has a layer of rust forming. Not too deep that would severely damage the car floor. He said to get a rust protection paint done. The paint includes the rust protection paint itself (probably of Gobis or Berger Paints), petrol, and diesel. The guy asked Rs.8,000 for the job, or Rs. 4,000 if I buy the material myself. Should I go for this paint coat? If not, what other option do I have to protect my car from further rust formation? Thanks.

This is not something that easy to cure. Its not like you just buy some paint and hire someone to paint the rusted surface. No.
If its done like this, then it would be temporary solution only.

Preparation is the key. First you need to scrub that rust out completely upto the bare metal. Then need to wipe clean the surface with material like isopropyal alcohol (or you can use Thinner as replacement). Let the surface dry and then apply the paint.

Now for the paints, there is large variety available in market. You can find items from the range of pkr 300 to 5000. Technically any good coating will do the job. But there are coatings which are specially made for such type of situation (like above weblink shared). Find it and apply on the surface. If you are applying with paint brush, then usually single coat is more than enough (depending on the density of paint too or how much thinner/oil you mixed in it to make it thin). Making two coats with brush may reduce the life of coating. But if you are doing it with spray cans, then 3-coats are best with the time difference of 20-30 minutes as mentioned on the spray bottle.
