So, I'm stripping off the old crappy sound deadener on my '72. There's no repairs needed, just a little light brushing off of surface rust coloring. Do I prime it? Paint it? I plan on covering the floor again with a butyl sound deadener, covering pretty much 100% except for taping the seams. All the seam sealer looks to be OK, but I still have to clean off the old adhesive and check it out first. The deadener came off mostly in bigger chunks luckily, so I didn't have to chip away at it near the seams, but I did put a few scratches in the floor finish.

I would coat it with epoxy, its pretty tough stuff, and it will seal it up tight, and you can roll it on, but its better to spray it, and you probably should make a decision before you use something on it that will effect what you're spraying, and get a product sheet on whatever you buy, and follow it right to the letter. The only epoxy I have ever used is ppgs dp, but spi has it, and I've heard it is really nice stuff, with good people standing behind it, and less money then ppg.

I will be using ppg on my car on the floors, inside and out, I have been lucky with ppg, and I'm from the old school, if it works, don't screw with it.

I just pulled this chassis out of my unheated garage, its was painted with ppg epoxy a little over two years ago, I believe, and it looks exactly like the pictures on my web site yet today.

Good luck

What Rob said!;)

If you don't have it already, go get the SPI epoxy. You can order it from Baker. Great stuff and 2x the sprayable amount than PPG. I can't get DPLF here in CA anymore, so I used that.
