Wire wheel and a corded drill..make take a few days tho

 

One suggestion:

Clean and paint the mounting areas and low clearance areas of where the part mounts, before you re-mount the newly painted part. Save yourself the time and trouble of having to take it all apart, again.

 

I did some undercoating earlier today, I plan to do undercoat the whole underbody:

 

Damn thats a cheazy ride fo_sheezy!! two thumbs up..

 

cheazy as in shltty?

 

lol are u insane ,your ride is like a wet dream .. anyway good luck on the underpainting , last time i did mine my arms and face were completely covered!!

 

lol thanks, luckily I have a gasmask & goggles, already ruined the shirt though, lol.

 

haha, I'm hoping to get some more work done this weekend and throughout this week...we will see what I get to as the year is drawing to a close and there are many exams to study for....

 

A grinder with a wire wheel is WAY Faster.... (Or a sanding wheel) You can blow through rust really fast that way

Ask me how I know... LOL

 

An alternative to this is to pressure wash your undercarriage, let it dry, and then coat the entire undercarriage in fluid film. Fluid film while it protects will also work on the rust and remove oxidation. I had a bit of surface rust on my rig and it made the undercarriage look awesome. I basically had 2 options - I was going to considering painting it although I'd rather coat it in something as it wasn't THAT bad with surface rust. Just a tad here and there - nothing to even worry that much about (My truck is a west coast truck - doesn't see mch in the way of salt or anything). I would highly recommend the fluid film. Once a year I'm going to do it. Just buy 6 cans of fluid film (the $10 give or take ones in the aerosol format) and that will be enogh to coat the entire undercarriage (frame, suspension, axles, underbody sheet metal, etc.).

 

that is a killer ride Fo_Sheezy. In a good way of course man.

 

This would be an option, but $60 a year is a considerable amount when you can paint it for close to that much and forget about it...

 

Hmmm... with the way I wheel there is no such think as paint it and forget about it. I cause too many scratches and I don't even live on the east coast. I might have to check into the fluid film!

 

Yes, but you can always touch up after there is a scrath or two, which will be a fraction of a can of spray paint. Of-course I don't know how you wheel so maybe we're talking about full length scrapes and all sorts of gashes...I guess its whatever works better for you.

One question also, Is there a way to change the title of a thread once you post it?

 

Fluid Film is a really hot item right now in the snow plow industry. I don't know if there is another industry that creates so much rust in so little time as a snow plow rig -- with all that salt spraying up into the undercarriage all winter. Fluid film is their undercarriage solution.
