Here you go.
All off the car and rusty.

Derusted and degreased

BH Zinc Primer applied with a brush.

The deadening Second Skin spectrum, its actually really runny but if you buy the activator and add half of it it thickens up to a thick sludge where it can be applied in 2mm thick strokes with a brush. In liquid form it can be sprayed with a spray gun but will need a few layers to be the same as the sludge.
I just uses a brush. 1 tub did all the headshields on 1 side and the whole car floor in the cabin.

This is it applied and wet. WIll take half a day to dry in this heat (20deg C)
It dries slightly lighter and when the water evaporates it becomes lighter. MAKES A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE when dropped on the floor. No metal tinnyness.
