Luckily there were no rust holes in the deck shell, just some surface rust underneath. Spread some POR 15 on the bottom;

Welded on a couple of deck wheel brackets that I got from xtreme;

Cleaned up all the rust under the plate and coated that area with a couple of coats of rusty metal primer, and then painted everything with some of this stuff that I picked up at Home Depot;

Color was good and price was cheap!
Before I re installed the plate, I applied a thin coat of grease between it and the top of the deck shell.
