Hi everyone, i have a 98 Eclipse RS, and its from the north so it has some surface rust. Nothing major, just starting on the bottom of the doors on the inside and a little on the rockers, way under though so its barely visible unless your under the car. Now my question is would sanding and just por15 the whole bottom of the car be sufficent, or would i need to por15, and then also over the por15 get the car undercoated with a rubber undercoat. The fenders are also rusting, but i figured those are probably easiest to just take off and put one brand new primored fenders. And last but not least would it be benificial to take the interior and por15 the inside of the car, and also the trunk/spare tire well, or would it be better to put a spray rubberized coating, any help or ideas in anti-rusting and fixing the rust that there is would be very helpfull. Getting the car repainted soon after just incase that helps with any options. Thanks
