Scotty Kilmer good job using common sense. =)
Where's the link to nr. 4? :/
Why do you write your title in spanish and talk in english ?
How do we max the frame then smartie pants thats what rusts out the fastest
Here in Arizona (desert), no matter the coatings, even wrap, the sun will bake the coatings right off. Having said that... we don't have to worry about rust, lol.
Today I opened my trunk and Scotty was in it
You must of rang that bell too many times!
Lol
I found him under my stairs yesterday 🤦
👏🏻😂😂
Ahh i wish
Scotty, I've been watching your videos for over a decade now and still find them useful & entertaining. Thank you for keeping them free to watch.
If you tied Scotty's hands behind his back; he wouldn't be able to speak!
You haven't seen scoty tap-dance
haha
Lmao
same with French people lol
wow you're so original, not like I've heard it 100000 times already!
Don't you remember Fluid Film from your teenage years back in the 40's? Best product available to "slow" corrosion way up north where they dump salt 8 months a year and fix potholes 1 week a year.
Me: Scotty I have a question about my car.
Scotty: What kind of car
Me: Well it’s a 95 Acura Int-
Scotty: *Throw it away and buy a Grey 94 Celica*
What a lame comment, Scotty might prefer Toyotas but he has nothing but good things to say about Hondas, change that 95 Acura Integra and replace it with a 90's Chrysler or something
dawicked2k8 it was a pretty good comment in my opinion
LaVirtue I still think he shoulda use a bad car fir that comment, like i said before Scotty prob woulda said 95 Integra? Good car👍 he would not tell u to throw it away
the pre daimler chrysler v6 and v8 engines were very reliable and the transmissions very reliable too
dawicked2k8 what you need to realize is that it was just a joke, not meant to be taken seriously.
So legit, he even called out Toyota for making a mistake in the 90s Tacomas.
If the mistake was in the 90's, why did Toyota replace the second generation frames as well?
Anthony h. Yup a fact my uncle pretty much got a whole new frame for free on his tocoma
Tbh I thought Toyota just bought those trucks back since putting on a new frame would be expensive af.
My work truck was a 90s era Tacoma. The frame rusted right out from underneath it. My boss blamed me for driving in the rain with the window open. I told him the frame was rusted the day he gave me the keys. He didn't believe me. I told him about the rust problem with Toyota frames and he didn't believe me.
Yeah, just seen a 2nd gen Toyota at Taco Bell yesterday. Brand new shiny frame.
US NAVY certified corrosion control certified here. Excellent video. Couldn't have said it better myself. Sad more people dont do this.
Can rust be completely prevented? Does rust proofing work?
Rust can develop underneath the coating under the car. Just one unnoticed stone chip and the process will start. But you will not see it because the rust will be covered up.
Then why does rust come back after the body shops refinish the spots filler, primer, paint and all??
corrosion control certified? didn’t know they had quals for basic pres work
Those are some good pointers Scotty, but up here in New York, the majority of cars rust out because people drive them on the heavily salted roads in the winter time and they fail to wash them off frequently enough or well enough. (Underbody being most important).
Someone should invent a carwash that actually cleans thoroughly under cars.
is this now a series?
i hope so haha
the Chris is Wrong series!
I don’t know but I like it....😂😂
every friday we discuss why chrisfix is wrong!
it should be on netflix xD, civil war mechanics, new episode every friday
Im starting to think I should go buy a 90s Celica
Don't, You'll never be able to get Scotty out of the back of it
daandriod LOL
You're not the only one. Lol
Lol I know right
If that’s the car you like go ahead. Pretty easy to maintain, modify and manage them.
5:13 currently watching this while Texas is frozen 👌
When Texas is frozen in the winter, it's a miracle.
When Michigan is NOT frozen and the roads are NOT full of salt that eats your fenders... that's a miracle that hasn't happen yet.
Hahahaha props to the editor for including an image of a pawn when Scotty says "Sacrificially". Brilliant 😂
I work in Aviation and Scotty hit the nail on the head. Most of this can be found in NA-01-1A-509 series.
bimmer audi good

What series of the 509 lol!!

Rust is just natural weight reduction
Rusty metal weighs more than unrusted metal (until bits start falling off of course)
I felt that my 2004 Mazda was actually one of the most environmentally responsible cars ever built: it was biodegradable.
@@error404m you are right, because Fe + H2O = FeO
Thet true
@@MaestroTJS Ha,Ha im a little late on this one however your comment is funny as ... well u know LMAO good one and so true
Nothing beats the oil rustproofing for the frames and panel interiors. Fluid film is probably good too, but 100K miles and no rust. Do it every two years. Its messy but it works.
Would spraying WD40 on the frame work?
Also, when you guys do this, do you just coat the entire underneath, frame, transmission and everything? Or are there some things/places you should avoid?
Wool wax underneath and wheel arches is great stuff. One can does my car once a season for two years. $50. Totally worth it.
i use fluid film and believe it's the same result. have a 5-gallon pail that I use on pretty much everything, from assembling parts to my tools as well
@@markpasieka I think Fluid film is wool fat
I learnt more chemistry in this one video that in 2years of schooling. You should become a teacher
I was literally just about to say the same. And to top it off, I actually understood what he was talking about ! 👏 👏 👏
You went to a really bad school or didn't pay attention in class. His explanation for oxidation was really supperficial and made for people who never took chemistry.
*Learned
Guess you didn't pay much attention in chemistry...
leatnt
Scotty has some of the best videos on UA-cam. His pace is perfect, he's very clear and informative and he's not boring. Good topics covered also. Maybe it's the pot brownies I ate but I'm loving Scotty right now
Probably...
But that garage though lol oh Scotty
@@clseairsppt That's the garage of a good mechanic, not a salesman!! :)
oh my god, Scotty is finally talking sense on rust! I'm proud of you.
You sir,are a powerhouse encyclopedia of knowledge..I so enjoy your videos! God bless you Scotty for all the good that you do for car owners everywhere!🙏😇
Thank you! Very informative. I've done clearcoat on older cars with rust on them and it has worked really well so far for preserving the paint and patina finish on those spots. Thanks a lot for all the info!
Thanks, Scotty!! I just booted my mechanic out for scamming me. Now i don’t alllow anyone to touch my car except for an oil change. I should have found you on utube 20 years ago!! Stay well.. 👏👏
I don't even trust those dumb kids at the oil change shops. Changing oil is so simple, I do it myself....I'm 70
I work at the Ford, GM, Chrysler all auto manufactures in paint dept. You are correct about the Elpo/Phosphate dip. They dunk car bodies and when going through paint shop bodies are grounded and the paint robots also have High Voltage 90,000Kv that charges the paint and help to adhere to the body. More often than the plants admit the High Voltage systems has issues regularly. Most time they will disable the HV system to keep robots painting but they 5 years down the road it starts to wear out prematurely. So Clearcoat peels off or is thin and will begin to rust. Bottom edges of doors on the F150's is a hot spot for low paint film builds so they start to rust early. Almost all auto manufactures have their weak spots that are usually in same areas. I always drive F150 so I notice all mine on bottom edge inside of driver door is a spot to keep an eye. Since I've worked with every auto manufacturer applying, designing paint specs, repairing the paint robots, film build densities and so on, FORD has the most reliable paint process of all manufacturers!. Also if you get real lucky you'll have a vehicle that went through the paint booths and missed a little spot so they will send it through the second time to get painted again. In my experience those are the vehicles you want because they will not rust and the paint hold up forever because it's got twice as many layers. I look for indications of 2 runs through paint booth and buy those vehicles even if it not the color I want because it will last forever!. The next F150 I buy is going to be brand new right off the line and I am going to be in charge of sending my truck through the paint shop twice so paint job wil last forever! I worked on, loaded, maintained and inspected Tom Brady's truck for winning the super bowl and the truck was labeled as such through production so people knew not to make any mistakes or slack on that specific vehicle through the whole production process.
Good Stuff! Thanks!
Greg Hannigan I wish manufacturers would offer vehicles that are double painted. That would be very nice. Do they think people want to drive rust buckets?
So unless they paint Fords twice the paint is useless?
@@IanRLewis They are still good, I prefer Ford. All manufacturers have their weak spots. Ford's Clearcoat is more durable than the other manufacturers but all the plants miss spots. Double layered vehicle is a bonus.
@@greghannigan4702 I have never seen a rusted German car in upstate NY. All the others have holes.
I remember when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, you'd see rust on cars all over the place. People would use Bondo to cover up the holes that rotted through the metal. Today, you see 20+ year old cars, and they still look like new.
This is so true, a 10 year old car with 100k miles was a real pos back in the day!
I look for rustproofing paint in spraycan.
Almost every car in Kmart's parking lot in the 80's had rust all over it. (Nebraska) my dad had 2 vehicles where the floor metal was rusted away... You could see the ground. The old stop sign trick
Exactly what i wanted to hear for rust prevention. Thanks for the knowledge scotty, we'll always ring that bell 😁
Why is this not common knowledge!? Wtf I am 28 and now just understanding this❤Thank you Scotty Kilmer you are a beautiful soul
Fluid film works very well for preventing rust I live in PA and do my vehicles one a year with that and have no rust at all
One spray can @ $11.00 approx is enough to do one small/med vehicle. Originally developed for the U.S. Navy to keep ships from rusting away.
I wish I saw this video when I was a kid. My 1993 Celica might still have a body 😂 the engine still works
Something we do a lot here in New England is we get one end of the car up on ramps in the fall and rinse it out really well. Let it dry overnight and then spray everything down with a can of Fluid Film to coat everything for the winter. If there's any rust around you just wire brush it and then then use some rust converter on it first. But, the few people that bother with this seem to have cars that hold up really well over time. Folks used to get their cars undercoated around here a lot. But, over the last twenty years or so it's sort of fallen out of favor.
This is why I Krown rust proof and wax my vehicles, as I live where they use salt. Preventative maintenance. Good informative video !
THUMBS UP FOR KROWN!
like to add I wax inside my doors, the inside sills, especially the lips at he bottom.
ClusterHeadSurvivor My dad krown rust proofs his car, Zero rust. Not even a rusty bolt. We live in the rust belt too. Only downside is your engine bay looks absolutely terrible after a bit.
Krown or another oil spray like Rust Check or Ziebart is the best way to prevent rust in northern climates. Using Scotty's advice, the car would still rust from the rockers, rear fenders, strut towers etc if the car was a northern vehicle, definitely incomplete advice for not mentioning oil spray rust proofing.
I detail mine every summer. But ya don't have too.
Hi Scotty, here in NH I spray or brush a special blend of oil and wax heated to a 100 degrees. Sticks like glue, penetrates rust and metal to stop rust by soaking it with oil then sealing it with wax. Stays put for at least two years even around wheel wells. Cover your brakes before spraying. Also my Bronco has urethane bushing on everything. I try not to spray rubber anything. In fact the truck came from San Antonio...
Are you aware of fluid film
Scotty...as a bodyman/painter I can tell you that clearcoat is a "cross linked polymer" ...you can not "nourish" clear coat with a wax. The real purpose of wax is to be an extra "sacrificial layer" that can be replaced easily and cheaply...and it is slippery so that dirt does not gain a foothold in the tiny scratches caused by grit as you drive, and from washing and wiping the grit at the car wash. You are exactly right about exposed metal corrosion , but DIRT is another enemy because DIRT is like a sponge that holds moisture against the surfaces of your vehicle...especially inside the doors and wheel wells . Look at northern Dodge , Ford (steel bodied) and Chevy trucks and what do you always see? Rusted out wheel openings over the rear wheels. Why is that? It's because the inner structure is like a shelf where DIRT gets to sit unless you get in there and consistently wash it out...some people even drill drain holes in the upper wheel well lip to make drain holes so they can wash it out easier.
Cleaning leaves and such from behind the wheel well covers every so often is a must.
Thank you for this analysis...
If I understand you correctly, the old trick about oil spraying your car and then driving down a dirt road, so the would sticks and form an additional layer of protection is actually counter-productive?
@@VLK-73 Used oil has some acidic content, but what will happen is it will attract dirt until you go through puddles and then the oil is floated off by the water, but the wet dirt can remain. Just look at any puddle in a parking lot, what do you see on the surface? The multicoloured film of oil from someone's leaky motor. Some people oil the hood hinges on their trucks, then the oil attracts dirt, and then the hinges bind and the hood bends before the hinges will open up. I'm sure you've seen 70's Chevy trucks with bent hoods from seized hinges. Grease hinges...wash and let dry the underside of a vehicle and check the drain holes on doors, use a small tie wrap to make sure they are open because doors are designed to let water flow through .
Scotty is right, I had to replace my fender on my 86 Camaro. I first tried the "bondo" method and yeah it looked terrible and frustrating to apply, so I ordered a new fender, took me less than 15 minutes to replace and took the car to a paint shop as it needed a new paint job anyway and yeah way better job. Good video Scotty!
I saw that reply
saoz who is replying ?
MIG weld then. Don't use flux core. It's really messy. I think the shielding gas prevents oxidation of the metal. Also remember to grind down all welds fully to clean metal. Prep is the MOST important part. Grab some Eastwood Rust converter. It's a chemical process that chemically changes the rust into a stable paintable surface. I did it with my 1969 Thunderbird on the frame as some sections were rotted away. Cut all the way back to good metal and weld in new stuff then grind, sand, clean and paint it. Still looks good after many years.
I'am going to start calling him Professor Scotty Kilmer because that was one hell of an analogous on rust.
Low temp brass weld it
Thank you for the Nu Finish mention. I used to use it in the pre-clearcoat days. Been hesitant since then. I loved it, easy to apply and did a great job. I'll go back to using it.
I use Rust Bullet on everything, I use it as a primer for bodywork. I drill holes in door jambs and spray it in the rockers and quarter panels. I put it on every part I replace on my vehicles then spray paint it with color of choice. I’ve put it on complete engines before painting them and holds up better than regular engine paint.! Scotty knows what he’s talking about.
I'm a cheap bastard and like what my forefathers used to prevent rust.
Boiled Linseed Oil works a treat, it's cheap and effective. It works just great on my bare metal tools too. It sticks like shite to a blanket but way less offensive.
Did I mention that it is cheap too?
Dilute with mineral Turps 50/50 or what suits you.
Nickel compound (anti seize) is terrific for specific purpose too. The stuff wont wash off.
Trouble is if you come in contact with it, it wont wash off you either. Without some petrol or such 🙂
Love your videos Scotty.
In Canada, oil spray is very popular and very efficient. Oil is prayed under the vehicle and inside the panels.
What kind of oil spray you guys use there? Is it helpful specially in Winters when you have salt all over on roads?
l like bar and chain chainsaw oil sprayed on the underside, works well even on rusty frames, plus it is self healing.
The man who can fix anything
I learned alot from you
Hey, I didnt figure I would see you here. Love the videos
Who knew mustie1 watched scotty!
Hey mustie!
this guy knows how to fix things
An incredibly useful video!! People take factory undercarriage protection for granted and just ignore the fact you should protect the underside after some years.
I guess the reason is we don't look at it every day!!
The only problem is having a jack to lift the car and do the job right
I think it's crazy how much I learn from you about cars thank you for all the helpful info and I hope you continue to make videos because you are a very good Entertainer and a very knowledgeable experienced mechanic
Scotty throwing shade.
Scotty, you're a God send. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
I’m going to seal up my frame on my Buick so it doesn’t run away fast. I really love that car.
You, are, the, best! Scotty for President!
Scotty you sounded very calm. Are you okay?
David Bonnett maybe he can hear properly again
David Bonnett
Oh yep. Now I am missing his loud sound.
In 1994 Toyota developed a high tech rustproof steel used exclusively on the Celica. It was shortly taken off the market and the patent was sealed in a vault.
ojars zvaigzne not really. People still want the latest and greatest, and offload perfectly good used Toyota’s on the used market so smart folks can buy cheaper and still get a good vehicle. Win win.
Great video. I understood it all makes sense. I thought all of it myself but now i'm glad to see someone else thinks the same.
Super info on rust prevention.
Btw Scotty, Toyota replaced the rusty frame on my 2005 Tacoma last spring. It took them two weeks and I got to enjoy a 2018 Tacoma for free.
I liked this slower paced, more informative video. Thanks Scotty!
Undercoating oil like fluid film works wonders on preserving metal also, I soak the underside of my truck every fall with it
I've only seen 1 person do this.
Thought about it. A little late though.
@@robertcollins7515 I “redid” a truck for a winter beater. 2-3 coats of primer + paint and is still starting to rust. Mainly from rocks chipping it and rust that was in cracks
I been using Fluid Film the last couple of years, & I live in the rust belt, also applied nu -finish this past fall also on windshield , an ounce of prevention is worth lbs.of rust.
@@Botman.com1125 how many years has it been driven in the winter salt and is it completely rust free as a result?
@@whatitisnt. I've been spraying fluid film since 2019, love it ,I spray it on everything!🙂
Scotty’s videos will live on for years such helpful info
I agree with Dave Houston regarding the use of an oil based product over the paint on type. It gets into everything. Having said that though, it can be hard on the rubber seals around the doors and trunk. I also worry about the door speakers as well. I had an old Bonneville that was professionally sprayed yearly and the body was still in great shape when I finally got rid or it.
Another thing to consider is that if you DIY spray you have to make sure that it doesn't get on the brakes or exhaust. That combined with the mess, I think it's better to pay the $120/year to have somebody else do it.
$125 won't get you in the front door of the spray shops in Canada. Not to mention a lot of these companies do a poor job and just hope the customer never goes under the car afterwards. Good odds of the typical owner not bothering to look afterwards. I've bought the stuff needed for Fluid Film application ($90can per USgal) as our new car has so many plastic panels under it there is no way I'd trust a shop to remove the panels then spray it. They will definitely take the short-cut and try with them on.
When I was a young lad in WV we would occasionally paint our truck frame with used oil. Seemed to work well on a surface rusted frame as the rust would soak it up.
New oil is better (and cheap, you dont need much) used oil gets kinda acidic from all the contaminants in it, so it'll eat away at metal (but still better than no covering against the elements, sorta)
Damn Scotty... if you keep up these roasts on Chris you should consider wearing a chef's hat in the next video. Keep up the good work! :)
This video taught me something: I live in the Bay Area California & I always wondered why so many cars have paint chips + peeling paint
Who would have thought that Scotty’s mother owns a Toyota?! 😀
that's where he got it from!
Who would of thought she was alive🤣😭
He was born in a Toyota
great video and advice-here in Stamford ct. they put stuff down on the road that is so caustic that the snow plow trucks are being eaten away -local mechanics are overloaded replacing brake and fuel lines not to mention frame and body damage.
This video was really nice to see. I live in Michigan and I've had issues with rust so I've asked my family about how to prevent it and they just say you can't. And I found this a bit hard to believe. But my family in general takes good care of their cars so I believed it. I'm glad to hear that they're wrong
he lives in Texas, Every car here in Canada has rust on it
@@ryanchapman6162 He also told his mother lives in Niagara falls and doesn't have rust on her vehicle.
Get/build a garage, and keep it there forever. Genesee County
Hey thanks guy, I just moved to Michigan from Northern California. I've never had to deal with this kind of thing before and I wanted to do some research before I went and bought a car.
Thanks Scotty. My 95 F150 i rebuilt all this year is going to get undercoating done since i moved from the midwest to the northeast. Very informative.
be careful about what kind you get some of the undercoatings will trap the moisture inside and totally wreck your frame.

este tipo es un genio! I'd say every video has something important to teach to people who ignore very basic concepts. I've been losing money for years, where were you, Mr. Scotty!?
I live in Ohio and rust is a serious problem here. Once a year I jack my truck up as high as I can get it, I wire brush, scotchbright, scrape and needle peen any loose paint and or rust. I wipe it all down then paint with rustoleum black. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. I have to agree with Scotty on this one.
tdej80 I live in Ohio too. I just bedliner'd my entire truck lol
Alive n Well and Happy I would not blame you if you did for real. One of my friends did that to a 2nd generation Dodge that he rebuilt with Texas sheet metal. It looks pretty darn good truth be told.
Abe E we need to go to southern states or Mexico and get some high mile or blown drivetrain cars then bring them back home and put our engines and transmissions in them.

Scott, you are a rust Rock Star and my spirit animal! 💕
Nice Triumph!!! Easy to see why you love that bike. Great tips on making it look like new! Live Free or Die!!! Thanks Scotty!
I watch your videos regularly, and do most of my own auto repairs. Thanks for all the tips!!
Awesome video and facts. Bondo actually holds moisture. Someone I knew used duct tape. It made it worse on their car
So will primer and I see people leave only primer coats all the time after body work. asking for it.
My hood is all primer and even after a year of only primer (I live in PA btw) There is ZERO rust on it. It's parked in my driveway outside. I don't drive it when there's salt on the roads though.
It's sucking in moisture so get some paint on it.
Bondo is a brand
If bondo holds moisture in, it should hold moisture out... ur argument is flawed
Oil undercoats should be regular maintenance especially if you live in the rust belt
I get fluid film coating on mine before each winter (or if not a full coat I at least spray the "trouble" spots where rust is starting). I wonder what works better... oiling it or painting it?
I have actually used both on 2 different cars. Both work really well when the person applying them knows what they're doing. I would argue that Fluid film is actually an "oil"in all reality. Despite people claiming you need a coating a year, I have found living in the Chicagoland area that I'm averaging 2-3 times a year. I will say Fluid film is easier to apply though but the downside to that is I have missed spots before from it's ease of use
I love my Toyotas but living in Nebraska I have lost many Corollas and Camrys to rust. I think I'm going to try this.
Best video I’ve seen about rust, I have over 20 years autobody experience, and I live in the north, salt mega every winter, great video and he’s 100% correct.
I’ve seen comments on dangers of getting the products on break pads and lines. As a non-car person, do you think this is a good idea for DIY’ers to try?
Bondo may not be permanent, but if it gets you by on a car for the remaining time you own it before it goes to the junkyard then why not? No point in spending thousands on a car worth a couple hundred bucks when bondo will get you an inspection sticker no problem
Bondi gets you through the summer. Falls apart in winter. Cosmetic no real value.
Another good video from Scotty. I learned so much. Thank you
It helps when you live in South Texas at the beach on padre island. 🐟 👍
I do love your videos Scotty. You've actually been a better mechanic, than the majority of mechanics I see in the city suburbs. Every video I watch is something more for me to learn.
I learned how the whole world should drive Toyota Celica's
Great video, I agree with everything you said. I have some rust starting on my 17 year old MX-5 which I plan to do some cutting and welding on. I do not always agree with you but I respect you, this is what makes us human. Keep up the good work, SUBED!
Fluid Film here in Ma is a godsend. I've got a 2010 Tacoma that had the recall. I spray the original frame with Fluid Film, and it is as close to a Texas frame as you can get here in Boston. It's a beautiful thing!
super happy i found this channel. thanks for the info!
When I lived in New Jersey I used to get an undercarriage wash every time they put salt on the road about once or twice a week
Doesn't introducing even more water cause more rust?

@@007nadineL Keeping the underbody clean helps prevent rust. Water itself does not cause rust but water contains dissolved oxygen. If its just water, it should dry, but with dirt the drying process is slowed, gives rust a foothold. Products like Fluid-Film can protect against rust. F/F is made from lanolin (wood oil) and resists oxidation. Coating with used motor oil can help too, but probably should be cleaned and reapplied at least once a year.
@@007nadineL water neutralizes the salt.
Yeah I lived in Upstate ny and always washed off under my car with the wand at the car wash .
I also raise the hood and rinse off inner fenders , under the hood and radiator .
Automatic car washes wont do that .
And the war continues.... Going out for more popcorn. :)
Is it a war if no one is fighting back?
NoMore Libs not popcorn,is peanut, LOL
I should've bought a fallout shelter by now. Should've known better. Damn.
NoMore Libs lol right tho 🤣🤣😂👍👍
zunedog31 exactly
I wish I saw this video as a kid. My 93 Celica got rusted away because I lived in Minnesota and then Miami but the engine still works...
Thanks Scotty! Been wondering about rust protection
Imagine looking outside your window and you see your neighbor recording himself inside the trunk of his car lol keep up the good work Scotty love the videos man
Thank You for this and your other videos, your practical approach is priceless.
Very Helpful video. Thanks for posting.
Fluid Film. I apply it to most everything underneath that doesn’t move or get hot. Also I spray inside the drain holes of the door/trunk to prevent rust around the bottom. Redone every fall right before the snow hits.
Unfortunately, rust is like cancer. I've had great results using Ospho.
What is ospho?
@@yallgonemadd3786 I think it’s rust prevention
@@yallgonemadd3786 A phosphoric acid metal prep that can be applied to fresh bare metal to prevent flash rusting, to rusty surfaces as a rust converter and to clean ferrous metals before powder coating to create a surface layer of inert iron phosphate that won't rust plus is semi-porous so promotes better adhesion since the hot powder coating is absorbed into it. The industrial powder coaters immerse the parts in tanks of phosphoric acid for set periods of time to obtain a thicker surface layer of iron phosphate for maximum adhesion.
just get yourself some surface shield by blaster company it works great
I drive a Chevrolet it makes its own rust prevention aka leaks oil like sieve
Hey Scotty! I picked up a 1999 Saturn SL2 for $800. Rides great and fluids are good. One issue I have is that there is a bit of rust in the rear passenger door sill (which I hear is common on the S-series. What would the steps be to correct this issue? And is it too late to start applying Rust Bullet? Thanks!
I have painted the underfloor of my 2007 Toyota Corolla Verso too.
And cause it was on the lift, i took the chance and used oven paint for the exhaust. Yes its not as reliable as the metal secure paints, but it works. So this here is not new for me. And it works really good with the right colors.
Your a wild n crazy guy and I like it! Great info, thank you 🙏🏼
5:11 "Here in Houston don't need it much.. maybe once every 30 years" *2021 IS THE YEAR >:D*
gotcha, Will do it on my preloved Dodge Journey soon!. Thank you!
