Possible rust problem?

[CTScott]

I coated my whole wheel wells (and the entire bottom of the car) with Herculiner. I noticed that there was always a little pile of stones, in the area that you mentioned, every time I pulled my wheels, so I figured that eventually the paint would get stripped.

That's a good idea, then you don't have to worry about all the overspray. How is it holding up?

It is holding up perfectly. It would actually be almost impossible to remove, if you wanted to.

Yeah... Mmmmmm... I think I'll do that before this winter. I live a mile south of Lake Michigan, and it's nicknamed "The Snowbelt"... I plan on keeping the car rinsed off and clean as much as I can, but there's only so much I can do. It makes me cringe when I think of that salty wet snow sitting in that little valley.

Herculiner is fascinating stuff. I was planning on coating the frame of my 1988 Toyota Pickup with it, one of these days after I buy a new house where I can do stuff like that; it's beginning to show some surface rust around some of the welded tabs and joints. The instructions on the can even say that once it's applied it is there for good...
