Hitch repainting

I’ve got a bunch of rust around the chain holders on my hitch. Any recommendations on the best way to remove that and then what paint would be best to match the factory finish? Thanks in advance.

 

Do you tow at all? The chain hooks will wear off the paint if you tow.

 

get some Ospho at the hardware store and spray/wipe down per directions and then just hit it with your favorite flavor of semigloss black.

 

Umm was jus “thread” bout this..

 

Cereal right ..

 

Ok here's what you're gonna want to do.

Take the guard off an angle grinder, screw on a block of wood, and they glue some sandpaper to it. Use that to get the rust off.

Then you crush up some ramen noodles, mix it with super glue and fill in the pits.

Sand it with your angle grinder.

Paint it black with nail polish.

Factory finish. OEM quality repair.

 

The movie trailer for this was interesting.

 

Batts Boom Bstta Bing.. sorry Not try’n 2 be that “Guy”.. & im in middle of power outage..

 

I missed it as they were yelling at me for using my cell phone during the previews.

 

Either talking or on the phone or clipping your toenails during the movie ... you were bound to get into trouble.

 

good movie

I agree ... sand/grind away the rust you can see, smooth it out to save fingers in the future, Rustolean paint.

It’s a constant maintenance thing if you live in a salt state and tow. Sand and paint, Mavecoat , sand and paint, Mavecoat. Works for me, Fluid Film works good as well.

 

Just keep painting over it very few months. Once it's starts it ain't stopping!!!
