Couple more questions I looked at lizard skin and got this: Preparing Surfaces LizardSkin coatings must be applied to a clean, dry surface that is free from rust and corrosion. For bare steel surfaces, a primer with at least 15% elongation is required. All other types of substrates do not...

Alrighty thanks. Yea that was my concern about it lifting. What kind of those coatings would be best lizard skin, rhino, etc... Don't have any kind of experience with them.

Reason being is I am about to start to replace way rusted out panels on my bronco basically I'm almost about to be flintstoning in my bronco soon. I am going to...
