rusty bottom...

[H2Much]

I got under the truck today and checked things out as winter is only a few months out. I think that I am going to have more work to do trying to clean what is already there including who knows how many cans of Krylon Spray paint enamel than I will treating it with the POR stuff. Either way, I have a trip to Cali and NC coming up so I won't be able to start until afer that.

Did you say that you used some specific types of brushes for application and did you clean it before applying the POR?

Rustoleum makes a product called Rust Reformer that you can get at any auto parts store. Same concept - converts rust to something inert and allows you to paint it. It comes in a spray, but I preferred the bottle. Put some liquid in a cup and take a chip brush and "paint" away. Turned rust black and I never followed up with a topcoat. 8oz wasn't even $10, and I've done it a couple of times now.

Here's some pics of the bottom as of right now:


I don't have any before pics, but the driveshaft was completely covered in rust, and the rear axle had spots here and there. This is all after a cleaning, a wire brush, and one can of Krylon. It has held up great so far.

I heard that doing the driveshaft would make it spin uneven because of the lopsidedness of the spray, meaning it's hard to get the driveshaft all evenly coated. I wonder if there's any truth to that, did you notice any wobble or vibration after?

I have no vibration issues. I've heard that as well.
