Yaris rust proof?

Is it? if not what kind of rust preventative products out there?

Por-15.
Rustoleum enamel.
Truck bed liner.
Chip guard.

What else?

I just recently did mine using Herculiner paint on bed liner (which is also rated to be an undercoating).

Here's a thread with some pics of the results:

What did you use to prep it?

That looks beautiful.

I pressure washed it using Simple Green (which is a mild cleanser/degreaser) and vacuumed the handfuls of pebbles out of the bottom of the wheel wells.

I've always had good success undercoating cars with an oil spray (Krown in my area).
