Hi.. sorry to start another thread on a similar subject.... but can you paint over the Bitumen on the floors? I am thinking, stone chip, truck bed liner or more Bitumen... I am going to put felt and rubber down so it's just for rust protection really.
Cheers Lee

ive used something called cementone, its a bitumen based paint and dries like gloss, painted straight over bitumen underseal and seems to be performing well. i found it in my local DIY shop 5 liter tin £4 cant complain :)

you have to realize that most bitumen style underseals etc are actually porous, so you have to make sure everything is really well sealed off with lauqer or something either underneath it, or the top layer
