Might find that a mix or the two will look nice.

interior floors and walls done. I've used por15 in the past, but instead of using it, i decided to try SEMS Rust Shield. I bought it because it's cheaper and i know sems makes really good products. It coats really well (nice and thick). It's paintable as is (unlike por15), it's not photosensitive like por15 and a quart for $30 did the entire floor. Here are the results:

Re: Finally something to show
lol... as requested.. here is an update on my light situation... i decided to go with some 4.3 inch glow ring led tail. i found a place online that had the perfect inner dimension pipe for the lights i chose. so i ordered four 4 inch long pieces to make buckets out of. I have started, but still have plenty more time i need to invest into it.
here is a picture of one of the lights in the bucket:
here is a picture of a bracket i threw together so i could make sure the buckets would be square with the car:
and here are the buckets tacked onto the car: (i still have to fill in the open areas and cut the buckets flush, but i think it's going ok so far)
