Like what products have you all used and had luck with. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | You can't beat Por15, just don't get any on you because it won't come off. It has to wear off. Eastwood also has a product that is similar. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | I like Rustoleum rusty-metal primer.

Works kind of like naval jelly, turns rust into a dark, hard and paintable surface. You can even use it to paint galvenized.

Works slick for the scaled rust on frames. You might be suprised how little metal is left, but now's a good time to add fishplates. The frame on a '67 broke clean in half when I dropped the dump body on it...bummer. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 16 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 16 | Thanks Pete,Since I do plan on using it I will be going over the frame real good.I figure that with my luck it will break when im 20 moiles from home.LOL | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 16 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 16 | Thanks 4t6, Liked the pics and info | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 60 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 60 | I'm with Yabica, Jasco prep and primer. I put the gallon in a yard weed sprayer and sprayed the whole truck, even in the doors. It converts any rust visible or hidden back to metal. This helps even with preserving projects. I had a piece of bare metal with the jasco on and it did not rust for 6+ months in the salty hawaii air. | | |
