Looks like a have a minor patch of surface rust here and there. I was planning on coating it with "zero rust" followed by a self etching primer. Is this a good idea, or should I just use the self etch primer over the frame and skip the rest preventer step? Thanks-Dan

Maybe a pro will comment on this. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 117 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 117 | Thanks tclederman. At first I thought the same thing, but then the rust preventer only changes the rust (using phosphoric acid)and leaves the metal treated. I'm just not sure if this will be suitable to have underneath the self etch primer... I'm thinking that the primer will "eat" into the rust converter and grab into the metal, but the wing nut at the paint store was "like unsure about that dude"...
