How to deal with Hatch Compartment Rust?

[Carl Beck]

Looks good Texasz, did you use black enamel to seal that? I was thinking of putting a sealer down over the rubberized undercoat I sprayed onto the well itself.

Nice job.

If you put that rubber tire on top of a rubberized undercoating - and leave it there for a year or so - which is all to typical - please let us know what you find the next time you take the spare out...

Depending upon the exact materials used - you may need an air hammer. At the very least I'd put a layer of wax paper between the two.

FWIW,

I used bedliner as a top coat in that area-it is a urethane product, so hopefully it will be non-reactive to tires-or atleast that was my thought.
