Herculine your floorboards

I've had my Jeep CJ-7 for about 7 years now, and have gotten tired of sanding and spray painting my floorboards every 2 years or so. I also noticed that my floor mats would scoot around all the time, and finally decided to do something about it. I looked into several of the do it yourself liners, and the others who have done this recommended Herculiner- it runs about $30 for a quart (which is all I needed for this job).

I am pretty happy with the final product, although I have already put one scratch in it (easy to fix, I just touched up with some leftover herculiner). It gave my floor boards a more uniform look, where before you could see waves, and little pits.

Step 1 - sand the floorboards

This project is pretty straight forward, first sand down your floor pan well., removing any rust or other major bumps.

Step 2 - clean

Once sanded, you'll need to wash and carefully clean the floorpans, so there is no dust or grease. Herculiner won't stick well to a dirty or dusty surface

Step 3 - protect

I chose to give the area a coat of POR 15, a to keep the rust from coming back. I cant' say enough good things about POR 15. Having used it for years, it's the best rust stopper on the market.

Step 4 - roll on the Herculiner

Finally roll on the Herculiner, give it a couple hours to dry, and put the second coat on. Really nothing to it!
