Rust on the frame...ugh

[Frogfish]

I crawled under the truck today and was like The frame on my truck looks real gnarly. I've hear good and bad about POR-15, as wella s rust bullet and other products. What would be the best way to tackle this? Scrape as much of it off with a wire brush and paint? Would that be enough?

 

[fortplainman]

ive heard from wire brush on a cutoff wheel tool from an air compressor, to acetone/kerosene soaked and hot water pressure wash to strip. i need to do it and get some sort of undercoating going on. next truck i get its gona have that shit done before i even drive it off the lot.

What do you use? That looks good. I generally avoid undercoat like the plague as most (even 3m) has no UV protection and turns to nasty brown shit after a year or so. Never again. I cleaned, wire brushed, and rustoleum semi glossed mine.

I use a few cans of rustoleum engine enamel on my undercarriage. I touch it up once a year and it holds up good.

Aerosols

high build stone guard. its fades a bit over the salty winters, but if it didn't have salt on it, it would last years. I pressure wash and scrub it when it gets dirty with a brush and brings it back to new.

No one ever said u had to be located in Cali to have a clean chassis

Looks great Brandon!

Anyone have any recommendation on what products to put on over the rusty areas after cleaning and before I paint/undercoat?
