For those who used rust encapsulator...

Did you guys just spray over any nuts and bolts that connect to the frame? If not, what's the best plan of attack?

I'm about to coat my undercarriage. But, I don't want it to be a huge PITA if/when I decide it's time to replace parts.

 

Bump. Anyone? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

What is it that you're spraying under there? I have my truck sprayed/oiled yearly by Krown, they put it everywhere and build up is not a concern.

 

When I coat my frame, I will coat everything. When it comes time for maintenance, I will scrap the coatings off any bolts/nuts that need to be removed at that time.

 

Cool. That's the kind of input I'm looking for. I'm probably going to do the same.

 

I've used rust encapsulator a number of times. Make sure everything is clean, and put at least two coats on. The brush-on stuff works WAY better too. I've used it on the frames of a few Tacoma's and the spray-on stuff was pretty much all gone at the end of a New England winter. I actually did my old 96 with 2 coats of rust encapsulator and a finish coat of their new rubberized rust encapsulator last fall. It was clean but I think it might have been too cold (around 55 degrees) when I applied it. It had just about all flaked off come this spring. I'm using KB coatings stuff on the 05 I just bought in a few weeks.
