Kent Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Hi Guys, I currently have my 240K (yep.. K.. but the first 3 digits are right!) up on the rotisserie at the moment.. The car was sandblasted top and bottom, and i am trying to save a bit by painting the underbody myself before bending over for rust and paint. Underside was quite good.. but far from perfect I have sprayed the underside in 2 coats of dupont epoxy primer (840R), and then a couple of coats of 3m water-based stone guard underbody spray ( with a few more to go). I would like to spray inside the frame rails whilst the car is on the rotisserie, but i am not sure what with.. i did a general search on the net for what to use, but most of the solutions do not appear to be available in Australia (like Eastwood internal frame coating etc. - i have had a BAD experience with POR15 before, so wouldn't trust that..). Does anyone have any suggestions? i do have a euro 1L style gun that came with a lance. i really don't want to spend $12k+ in bodywork and paint for this car to rust from the inside out (and probably paranoid ).. Thanks Guys Quote
Retro Z Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Try rustbullet. Doesnt require much prep. As wirh POR15 it works well but you need to follow the 3 step system or else it peels off. I would just use cavity wax inside the frame rails using a 360 degree nozzle. Quote
PeterAllen Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I used this stuff. http://www.knockout-rust.com.au/information.html I applied it initially before I fitted the rails and sills, then afterwards although it was very easy to weld through. Quote
peter t Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Filled my Z with lanolin. Runs out for days and doesn't smell and is easy to clean up on the outside. Have you ever seen a rusty sheep. Quote
