is truck bed coating the most effective thing to put on rust?

[East Coast]

it seems to work awsome. much better then thin spray paint. what do you think?

I wouldnt put anything over rust. Just hides the cancer. Clean up the rust fully then coat. It will last forever.

+1 you need to get rid of the rust, not just cover it up. 95% of the time when you cover up rust you are just making things worse.

How bad is the rust? Surface rust? Then a rust converter paint like POR-15 will work awesome, then you can paint/coat over top of it with a bed liner.

More than surface rust will require more then just paint however......

+1 on the POR-15. Just make sure you get all of the loose rust off of the metal and it never hurts to go over it with a red scotch brite & Comet (wet) before applying the Por-15. After armoring it with POR-15 you can paint it with whatever.

X2 on this I use por-15 on alot of car stuff I do and it is extremely durable and stops rust!But unless you specify it does not hold up to sunlight.The uv rating is nonexistent but I believe they have recently came up with an additive that will cure that problem.But if your gonna cover it with linex or something like it I wouldnt worry to much.

like others said, get rid of the rust first... just out of curiosity is this on your dirtbike?

yea a couple spots on my dirtbike. and other spots on my car. I usually just sand the rust down and spray it up with that truck bed liner. seems to be really tough and completely stops all the rust. the rust I am talking about here is not very deep and usually 2-10in. long

POR15 is the stuff for stopping rust. Rust bullet and eastwood's rust encapsulater are also similar products to POR15.

Yes.

The bed liner's great stuff... but if you're putting it on a poor surface, it's not going to adhere well. This really becomes a problem when water gets between it and the bed.

Hammerite Rust Cap, great stuff for covering rust. I use it in in the back of a dump truck.

heres a picture of some random quad parts (bumper and swinger) (not mine) done with box liner, this was a proffesional spray job though, not spray paint (not sure if it makes a differance though)

is it just surface rust or ROT?

just surface rust. nothing too bad. give her a little sand then touch her up with bedliner

that looks sick. I know this guy that did that to the grill of his matt black truck and it looked awsome

if its just surface rust you should be fine with sanding and bedliner
