Tired of fixing rust

I have a black 1999 Ford Windstar that's probably worth about $1000. The front and rear fenders are covered with the plastic wrap around bumpers. The area between the front and rear tires, under the trim strip has had rust issues. I've fixed some of these areas with filler, but the rust keeps spreading in other areas.

I'm thinking of covering this whole area with undercoating. Will this stop the rust from showing through? Would bed liner work better? If I use undercoating, should I use the spray on or the roll-on type?

Hi

If you plan on keeping then van then my advice is to have the rust either patched or the panels replaced depending on how much rust. if you just cover the rust it will not stop the rust from growing. Its like canser.

I agree with bodymanhelper. Replacing the rusted areas is the only for sure way to stop the rust. However, there are products that provide better rust protection. Undercoating or bed liner material is just going to cover the rust, not slow it down. Here is a products that bites into the rust and will slow the process down.

I think this would be your best option other than welding in patch panels or panel replacement.

The first thing you need to think about is the amount of space you have for the box. These boxes come is many different shapes and sizes, and it is important to get one that you have room for. Deck storage boxes are great at reducing clutter and can store any number of things, but you don't want the box to be so big that it creates its own mess. You should also consider purchasing a deck storage box with a seat to help optimize your space. Basically, you are looking for a box that fits into the space you have available, and will nestle into a corner without bringing too much attention to itself.
