is it neccesary to paint under carpet?

what is the condition of your floors...

if your talking to me, my floors were showing signs of surface rust when I pulled my carpet. No major pitting or anything like that, but once rust starts, it's hard to stop. I've had good luck with POR 15 in the past on other projects. My entire undercarriage and inside floors are covered in POR 15. I wire wheeled the entire thing then sprayed it on. Pay close attention to their instructions on prepping the surface and follow them! otherwise, the coating will not be as strong.
