Ramp surface rusting from winter salt water

[jgira12]

I park on my lift all year....in the winter the salt from the chassis and wheel wells drips onto the ramp. It causes a lot of rust and lift off of the ramp's coating where the tires are in contact with the surface. I have prepped and re-coated twice after the last couple of winters...it's time to find a permanent solution.

Been thinking of trying peel and stick tiles, either vinyl or ceramic, but there should also be some sort of liquid coating that would withstand the severe environment of constant salt water sitting on it. I've tried rubberized coatings, such as plastidip and Rustoleum's rubber based spray coating, and POR-15 black paint (which is designed to adhere over rust)...anyone have similar experience and found a good solution? Vendors are welcome to offer suggestions, but I will be requesting laboratory 'water immersion' and 'salt spray' test results before purchase...thanks

What about textured under coating or rocker panel coating.

Powder Coating?
Install a layer of thin stainless?

I was thinking along these lines. I look into the Raptor U-Pol truck bed liner. Kit comes with 4 cans of liner, 1 can of hardener (makes a gallon) and spray gun.

I agree, after my sugestion I thought bed liner would be a better option
spray on or roll on.

I do not stock this version of Rust Bullet. I am not a metal guy, but in the process of vetting the line years ago, I went through all their testing. Pretty impressive stuff. https://www.rustbullet.com/advantage/product-comparisons

We carry a product called Armortrak flexibke urethane. It's a military grade direct to metal coating. Perfect for this.
