Prepping the Floor

Acquired a heat gun to put some heat into the floor to aid paint drying, as well as a 80 grit flapper disc for the angle grinder to assist cleaning-up any surface rust.

After wire-brushing but before sanding with the flapper disc...




All fawn colouring isn't rust, but remnants of the old carpet underlay.

The worst of the corrosion was in the passenger side front foot well, so I hit it with the flapper disc.

Result...




Cleaning ensued and the bare metal hit with Galmet primer...





Hopefully I can hit it with a 2nd coat through the week, ready to put sound deadener down next weekend.
