This is a shot of the spare tire compartment with the rear valance visible at the bottom of the picture. Any undercoat or grease slung back from the diff had been baked on. There was some surface rust on the valance.
The dreaded (for cleaning) rear quarter area. It's the area between the wing and the tub that was so hard to clean, in retrospect I probably should have gone ahead and just removed the rear wings!
A closer look at the spare tire compartment. The crud baked on by the exhaust system can be better seen.
This is a look at the front of the fender well, that's the seat belt attachment point there lower left of center. The under coat in the fender well was actually in good shape.
The spare tire compartment after cleaning prepping and coating with rust killer. The rear quarter area is just visible to the left. I took a ginormous amount of dirt out of this area but only treated the areas that showed any signs of rust.
The rear valance. I paid special attention to this area as there was significant surface rust here.
The rear quarter area, very little rust here, the under coat seems to have worked! This area received a good cleaning, any loose under coat was removed and the painted areas were prepped for priming.
The rear quarter area on the other side, again no rust just dirt and lots of it!
A shot of the spare tire compartment and rear valance after priming and first top coat.
The passenger side rear quarter. The rear main body mount can be seen here and that's the bumper bracket hole just below.
And the other side. After the second top coat dries, the entire boot section will be sprayed with a rock guard type under coat.
