KBS COATING
This stuff is amazing. (Keep in mind i just applied it today.)
So here's my story. I have a 52 1/2 ton. My wife and I bought it from my wife's cousin. Basically its an AWESOME barn find. All original glass & metal. No major dents. Just a lot of surface rust, BUT no rot.
So i researched products to treat the frame and decided on the KBS 3 step system. So i wire brushed the frame, then started with their process. Cleaner, Surface etcher, and paint. Now i am not doing a complete restoration. Basically i've got the truck on jack stands. i'm doing as much as i can without pulling the entire truck apart.
The cleaner: Spray it on. scrub scrub scrub. keep it wet. don't let it dry. scrub scrub scrub...then rinse. ( i used a pesticide sprayer for both application and rinsing.
Etcher: Spray it on, let it sit. keep re-applying. ( i kept the frame wet for about an hour.) then rinse.
Paint: once its totally dry, you will see a slight power all over what you spray. the etcher has a high phosphorus level in it. Anyway, stir it up, put some gloves on and start painting. you can spray, but i don't have those means right now.
So i will say, due to the fact i'm having to lay under it, its a real pain in the [censored]! BUT!...i love the result. it's self leveling. no brush marks. covers great. i got 1 qt of paint. i think i have enough to do the entire underneath of the car. i highly recommend you try this stuff. It almost looks like a rubberized undercoating. the consistency is thicker than auto paint, but thinner than epoxy.
I do have a couple pics i would be willing to send out if anyone is interested. If anyone has any questions, let me know. i'd be happy to share!
