Does anybody rustproof spray these cars? Most don’t live the life of a daily driver anymore. My specific issue, restoration was completed last fall, when I open the trunk I still get little bits of rust falling out. This was the best trunk lid (70’ Bee) I could find for the resto, seams were tight with no separation, skins were faded but corrosion free so we did not split them. Clean up, primer and paint made for a nice piece. So, would there be any problem to use a wand and spray some rust inhibitor between the lid skins? I don’t mind if it drips for a while, just don’t want to have to go looking for another one in a few years. Hope everyone is staying safe.

Yes, spray it, just use something thin to get all the way into the seams.
I would have sloshed epoxy primer in it before painting but too late now.

I would blast some in between the skins, in the frame cavities but keep in mind. This stuff is messy. Wipe off the excess and prepare to keep on wiping. It will seep out for the rest of that car's life.

Sloshing that primer in before paint would have been a good idea🙄! This was my first time doing a resto of this depth, if I ever do another one I’ll do that, thanks!

It is sixbbl, just small flakes that I think jarred loose as we handled the lid during the restoration and they have gotten less since the car was completed (only got 320mi on it last fall). I’m hoping some kind of product in there will slow down or stop any further decay. Thanks.

3m cavity wax. I've used 3m. This is the product you want. It is designed for this exact application. I also use it inside my doors and where all hidden panel seams are such as where the trunk drops meet the quarters, where the wheel tubs meet the quarters, etc. This is what the OEM and collision repair industry does these days after primer/paint.

I had the same experience with Fluid Film: bottom of door seam was starting to rust, shot it with Fluid Film. Stopped it from getting worse.
As for the trunk lid, I'd hit it real hard with compressed air before doing anything.
