whats the best product for rust. my 95 f-350 frame is near death....so i have begun a light restoration project on the frame.
i have turned up some products from some other forums, but was hoping a few guys on here would have some experience with them for some feedback. dont know people on those other forums as well as some of you.... POR 15 http://prp-porshop.com/ ZERO RUST http://www.mfgsealants.com/ZeroRustMain-ZeroRust.html Rust Bullet http://www.rustbullet.com/ im going to be using aluminum oxide to blast the heavy stuff away then mainly sand blast the entire frame. so i should be able to get it donw to good metal. this is the second truck that im close to loosing to rust. my first was a 1986 GMC that we where original owners on....it had 50k miles on it in 1996 and was a complete rust loss. my 95 f-350 only has 60k on the clock and i have owned it since 1996. sitting kills trucks. but at 9 miles to the gallon....its not friendly on the wallet! its just amazing to me that the body is absolutely fine, but the engine block, chasis and suspension is nearing death. |

The original sheetmetal primer is applied with what is called a E-Coat process. (After the cab and box are welded, they are dipped in a large electrically charged vat, 150 vdc I think, where one electrode is attached to the sheetmetal, drawing to and bonding the primer to the metal.) This should last a long time, as long as the coating is not removed by sanding.
Back then, a simple wax based coating was applied to frames. '03 GPR, Solas 14/20 IR (12/18), sealed w/2 bar grate, machined RIVA plate, stepped sponsons,RIVA trim tabs, R&D F/A, d-plate, RIVA EFI '00 GPR, F/A's w/carp rejet & primer, d-plate, WE clips, free flow & jetworks '01 XLT (colors match the '00 GPR)sealed only |

i know of eastwoods stuff. the guys over here http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1870434#post1870434 seem to like the zero rust the best.
i started to pull the bed off this thing last night. i cant believe how bad it is. i dont think some components would have made it through the winter. gw, i suppose that why the body is fine....it looks as good as it did in 96 when i bough the truck. |

hop,
after the frame is blasted as best as possible you want to use a product called POR15 .it is without a doubt the best product and it will last forever , sounds to good to be true but it works, lol . check out all the por products at the link and youll find what you need, also never and i mean NEVER ! get this stuff on your skin and let it dry or else it will be there for months,lol, i learned the hard way. http://www.por15.com/ "everything i post is my opinion" |
