What are you guys using on the inside of your rockers? I sprayed mine with some DTM epoxy primer I had left over from doing my firewall. Will that be good enough? I heard some primers aren't good to leave not top coated as they attract moisture but I thought epoxy primer was different?

Epoxy is plastic. It does not have the pores like regular paint. Been around the plants on piping for years in worse environments than a highway. We spray them with some kind of goo but i forget the name. Will check

I've heard some people spray wax on the inside. Don't know much about it though.

Epoxy or cold galvanize the inner before the outer goes on. Clean just the areas that will get plug welded and then treat just those spots with a weld through primer. After it's all together use a cavity wax. There are alot of different waxes and delivery systems. Most of the really good stuff is from Europe and the UK. If you can find 3M rust fighter in a schutz can 3M has a tube to use on the schutz gun that can be snaked 3ft into a cavity. I am using a product by Car Systems that is in an aerosol can and comes with a 2 ft tube that can be snaked into really tight spots. It has a brass nozzle that spays 360 degrees. The name on the can is actully European Norway I think.

POR-15 would be good to. If you want to spray it I've heard diluting it 50%.
