When I bought Both of my Packard's I discovered the drivers side floor pan had pin holes and rust. I too started looking for a cure hoping to keep what was still there intact and stabilize the metal. After talking to the POR15 folks I used their product and applied it by brush, additionally the Rep told me to strengthen the metal apply fiberglass sheets to both sides of the pan using POR15 to adhere the fiberglass to the metal and use multiple applications of POR15. My floor pan was not rotten nor was it extensively damaged and after my work, and to this day, the repairs are permanent, and the converted metal remains intact as well as the fix. As for the effectiveness and ease of working with the POR15 product I decided to remove the entire carpet/padding/seats/etc., and covered the entire interior floor area and trunk with POR15, that gave me an opportunity to examine the rest of the structure and remove any rust with a wire wheel before coating. Note: Be sure to use the product in the trunk where the trunk pan meets at the rear bumper inside the trunk. If that metal trough has not been compromised by rust your're lucky. Oh, I might add, to complete my quest for rust since I was having new door panels made I used POR15 inside the door down to the interior bottom just because I could. Hope this helps. Regards.
