>From one Hoosier to another. I am in Fl. and if you set something set
overnight, after removing the paint, it rust. Try OSPHO That is what a
lot of us use in Fl. You can buy it at Home Depot cheaper than any place
else. Spray it on very lightly with a spray gun. If you decide to use
it, let me know and I will tell you how I apply it. Very simple.

I have old truck frames that I'm finding too expensive to have blasted. I
have them cleaned up and scraped off the grease and used engine cleaner
to kill the oil/grease film on certain places. In the past I have just
used my angle grinder with a knot brush in it and sandpaper to clean up
the frames and just painted over them with primer and paint. It does
start rusting thru after awhile of using truck on roads all year. I have
heard of POR15, didn't like the price and no stores have it. I did find a
product by Mar-hyde called One Step rust converter #3513. It's watery and
looks like milk. I have used other easy to find products that looked the
same, but were no good if they got wet. They needed painting over to stay
on and could wash away with water if not painted. Extend was it's name.
This does not say you have to paint it, but does say you can paint it
after 12 hrs. It does need rust to work, not reccommended for clean
metal. It cost my $27 for this little qt. Anyone ever see this cheaper?
The Auto store I bought it at is never cheap, but have best counter guys.
It goes on like water, so goes quite far, but I feel I may need more to
do frame. I'm trying to get my blaster working to blast frame, not having
much luck with it. If I do blast, I will just prime and paint normally. I
have done the x-over that I am putting in from another frame and it
turned black right away. I will check tommorrow and see how it looks on
that part. I got it on my hands and it did stick there quite well. Nuff
said!
