Hi there guys, I am currently thinking of painting my chassis with raptor liner as I have stone strike and rust in wheel well and want fix for longer term then just paint. Its going to be pretty DIY, just going to do in back yard on gravel drive so not lifting body off Chassis and the whole 9 yards. I might just drive onto some ramps for better access. Are there any other areas of the body I should look as well? Any advice would be great. Also are there any problem areas where you cant get to unless you lift body off chassis in terms of rust, just planning for future.:) :)

Remove all the plastic trim arches/bumpers/sill covers and front under arch liners
Check all body mounts/behind headlights/inner sills and boot floor inside and underneath
Rust will travel behind the factory under seal
So any rust spot you can see will be worse than it looks if you take the time to scrape it back
Good luck ;)

Remove rear silencer makes it a whole lot easier in that area
