    Converting my 2001 Toyota Tacoma truck frame from rusty to a salt water warrior. If metal is exposed to air/ water and other elements, it will rust. Creating a barrier will prevent rust from occurring and stop rust that is already there. First, I used a few rust removing tools to get rid of as much rust as possible. I then used a degreaser to get any other grit and grime off the frame. Then I power washed the frame. I used RUST KUTTER to transform the rust (literally a chemical reaction occurring) and leaving the metal with a paintable surface. I used rust reformer paint then to coat the frame. I went over everything using Surface Shield to assure no more rust! My truck is now ready for the harsh roads in the salt belt.

    I'm impressed. Way more detail-oriented than I ever was. I merely get under the F150 every fall and paint on bar-and-chain oil. Let it soak into the surface rust and everything.
    I'm sure this is a better fix than what I've done, but 28 Pennsylvania winters in my F150 and it's been "good enough." Just a heads-up that even halfassing it is far better than doing nothing.

      Nope, way to much manual labor. Impressive on your part. I learned the hard way that Transmission fluid is a superb under body coating. I had a Transfer case shell out going down the interstate. Transmission fluid covered everything rear ward. That part of my vehicle never rusted out. Everything not coated turned to dust.
      I agree with bcubed.. doing SOMETHING can help greatly. Used oil, Diesel, Tranny fluid, Fluid Film.

I did use White Rust Oleum enamel around the inside of the frame to track any further rusting. Ranger frames have one side open. Yep. Corroseal. Works Great. Thank you for this.

    I have been using a rust converter called Corroseal. It can be painted on, it's not poisonous and it leaves a beautiful black finish, but it still needs to be top coated. And it is water cleanup. So because I don't have a lift this is perfect for me.

    Awesome job! You've done everything that is reasonably possible to do on an older vehicle to preserve the frame. Brush painting the frame everywhere that you can reach with a brush with Rust-o-leum will apply a thicker coat of paint and then follow up with the spray cans to reach anywhere that the brush couldn't and it might save a few bucks on paint. Been hearing great things about Surface Shield, but although we have a number of products by PB Blaster available in Canada, I haven't been able to find the Surface Shield product anywhere.

    I used to get under my 97 Sierra and scrape and wire brush and repaint and it just kept rusting and flaking off. Finally started shooting Fluid Film underside that was the answer to keep the truck on the road. Sometimes I heat it on a hot plate and put in shavings of paraffin (an old candle works) and shot it while it's warm. That's been the best thing so far.

      The reason paint doesn't work is because it chips so any salt water mixture will just get into the chipped areas and underneath the paint. The reason fluid film works is that it self heals, when an area gets exposed since it never becomes completely solid it will just fill the exposed area in

    You have a lot of patience my friend. Very, VERY impressive man.
    I have a 2012 "dead-mint" Ram 1500 Sport. I just had it completely sprayed with "corrosion-free". After doing the entire undercarriage, they also sprayed inside the frame, rockers, door panels, inside tailgate etc ... From what I can gather, "krown" was rated #1 (forever) until just a few years ago. I hear they are now rated #2 with "corrosion-free" being the top dog, but now I'm wondering if I should've taken the time to do the same amazing job that you did to your truck BEFORE I got undercoated. Man that's impressive bud. Awesome job!

I would update but I ended up selling it.. A guy flew in from Montana , 20 ours away from me and bought it. On the search now for my tundra.. I’m not loaded so my price range is like 15K. I’ve been looking for weeks and they’re all rusty!! If more people would just spray their frames from the get go, we would all be able to save some money. I’ll probably end up flying to Texas to get one. Then be spraying the frame as soon as I get back to Iowa lol.

    Lanolin based undercoating products like Fluid Film and Wool Wax can be sprayed directly on rust, and if reapplied every couple of years will stop the rust cold.
    No need to do the de-rusting treatment which may cause more problems than it solves.

    4. Rust kutter
    5. Rinse
    6. Rust kutter
    7. Rinse
    8. Rustoleum clean metal primer (I spoke with Rustoleum and they said if you are converting before hand and you will have mostly converted/bare metal then you should use this primer as it will still handle some rust if you missed any, and it will give the enamel better adhesion)
    9. Rustoleum professional protective enamel
    10. Herculiner roll-on bedliner (specifically excels at deflecting rock-chips in cold climates per project farm)
    11. Following, In the frame rails and behind pinch welds/seams I intend to use rust kutter at step 4 and then follow that up with fluid film after step 11 (a product i wouldn't use anywhere else because it grosses me out)

    Nice video. The gas tank on my car recently fell on the ground after filling it up at a gas station. Someone was calling me on my cell phone and I pulled into a space while in the gasoline station. While I was parked and attending to my phone I heard a noise. I thought someone had thrown something at my car or may be a tire hit my car from the highway. I saw nothing. So I got back in the car. I did not jump on the highway right away which was next to the gasoline station. After a while I started up the car and someone got behind my car while I had it in reverse. I did not in a million years think that I would be dragging my gas tank. It really freaked me out. I called me insurance and a tow truck came and put those pulling straps to hold it. They could not move it because it was full of gasoline. So they had to use a small flat jack to lift it up. The straps held it in place. I am thinking about putting a long metal flat bar attached to the chassis with Chrome screws to prevent the tank from falling again. The tank is sitting upright in a vertical position in front of the trunk. Death was following me, but God was on my side I guess. For those who have have not had this happened to them CHECK underneath that the gas tank is secure from those metal straps as well as the fuel lines and brake lines, especially if your car is old and has rust. Do not ignore the rust. We are used to just checking under the hood, but if you are living in the north you are at risk because of the rust. I hope I have saved lives with this information. Get undercoating and clean that rust before it spreads like a cancer. It can be very very dangerous and serious, especially if you have family riding in your car. This is serious stuff. Thank you for sharing your video with us.

    phosphoric acid (what the rust kutter is) will turn the iron oxide into iron phosphate so yea it can be directly painted, maybe good to just brush it a bit to get dusty bits off. Probably better to leave it on actually vs cleaning it with water though

  • @OutsideTheCamp_Heb1313

    Is it bad to leave the rust cutter sitting inside the frame? Or should you rinse it out? I’ve heard different opinions on rinsing/wiping it off and leaving it on under the paint.

    Two questions:
    -How did you clean out the Rust Kutter from the spray gun/nozzle/reservoir before switching to the Surface Shield?
    -What was your compressor set-up with the needle scaler (SCFM, size of air tank, etc.)? I've heard needle scalers require large compressors/reservoirs.

    • @Marcoosianism
      @Marcoosianism 7 місяців тому

      Curious about the CFM as well. Most affordable ones are only rated for about 2 or 3 CFM which apparently isn't all that much. If you want 10 or more the compressors run $6k to $12k.

      It will stay wet looking for a bit and will collect a extra protective layer of dirt and dust, then it doesn’t look so wet. It looks like a flat black. But when you take your finger nail to it it’s got a nice layer of build up to protect the frame. Back in the day they used to use oil and hit a gravel road to accomplish a similar protection.

      That would work too as long as you keep up with it from year to year, just checking to make sure you still got a coating on there. I like to spray this stuff and hit a gravel road to create another barrier. This stuff held up great after a year, and I didn’t have to but I put another coat on and drove more gravel roads. I’ve got a nice build up now that I can prolly go a few years no worries. So in short, yea, just spray the surface shield on the bare metal.
