You should just coat it in line x

 

what overall impact would that have?

 

Your truck would weigh more but be indestructible

 

so i could just park on the train tracks somewhere in Iowa and it will stop a moving locomotive?

 

dammit, my rough estimate on these products is gonna be nearly $500 possibly more
i'm an f'n amateur with no special discounted pricing

 

Well there’s only one way to find out. I’ll provide the go pros so we can capture it from multiple angles

 

ordered some supplies to see how it goes, i may be in way over my head and need
the naval jelly is not totally working as anticipated, but is extremely simple application

 

probably can use some of this product

Auto paint prep gets no easier!

ABOUT EASTWOOD PRE PAINTING PREP
PRE Painting Prep is very easy to use: just spray it on and wipe it off. Works better than lacquer thinner, which can leave a thin residue on the surface that could interfere with paint adhesion.

A "Low-VOC" PRE Painting Prep Formula, #11949Z, is available for shipment to California.

Not for sale or use in California. Eastwood Paints are formulated to meet National Rule VOC regulations, check with your local and state guidelines as some areas may have stricter regulations than others.

Eastwood Blast Out of a Bucket is the solution for those fast blasting jobs.

Includes:

• High Performance Blast Gun Assembly
• Draws 14in Hg of vacuum @ 80 PSI.
• 5’ Suction Hose
• Pick Up Tube & Clamps
• 3 Replacement Nozzles
• 1 Replacement Jet

Requires at least 7 CFM @ 80 PSI of clean dry air.

Just connect it to your compressed air supply and drop the pick-up tube into a bucket, bag or box of media, suit up in your protective gear and go blasting. Provides a method to strip away old paint and coatings, body fillers, accumulated dirt and minor to moderate rust leaving a clean, bare metal surface ready for local damage repair or painting.

Abrasive media is not included and sold separately.


Abrasive blasting with a professional gun at a price that anyone can afford. No need for a large blast cabinet that your project might not fit in or a pressure blaster that takes up a large space in your garage. This kit enables you to fill a spare bucket with media connect to compressed air and blast away rust and grime on your project anywhere.




CONTENTS

(1) Blast Gun Assembly (2.5mm I.D. Air Jet and 4mm Nozzle installed)
(1) Double Pick Up Tube
(1) 5' [1.5m] x 1/2" [12.7mm] I.D. Reinforced Suction Hose
(3) 0.16" [4mm I.D.] Ceramic Nozzles (requires 7 CFM at 90 PSI)
(1) 0.10" [2.5mm I.D.] Replacement Air Jet (requires 7 CFM at 90 PSI)
(1) 1/4" MNPT Quick Disconnect Air Fitting

 

The air requirement for this kit is 7 CFM @ 80 PSI- so typically you will need at least a 60 gallon compressor or larger. But as long as you give the company renting from that spec ( 7cfm@80psi) they will be able to tell you yes or no if the compressor will work

 

this may seem promising, has anybody tried this or heard anything about it?

Internal Frame Coating destroys rust hiding inside the chassis, so it doesn’t rust its way through

Stop Hidden Rust with Eastwood

You spend time and money restoring a chassis, and almost certainly have applied a car undercoating to stop water and moisture from rusting the underside. But what about all that rust inside the frame? Use our Internal Frame Coating to make your chassis rust-free throughout! This special aerosol spray destroys rust hiding inside the chassis so it doesn't rust its way through and destroy the frame from the inside out. Old frames on vintage or muscle cars are hard to come by, and Eastwood Internal Frame Coating is an affordable way to preserve a chassis so you don't need to search out or fabricate a new one. This spray is available in a black or green finish to stop this rust during auto frame restoration before it can reveal itself to the world.

How Frame Coating Works

Each can of Internal Frame Coating comes with a special 24-inch tube that reaches inside the tubular steel bars and frame parts. This tube has a conical nozzle with multiple sprays, which reach outward to completely cover the innards of the metal. Tough phenolic resins in this coating then penetrate and encapsulate the rust on the internal surface, preventing it from spreading. Zinc phosphate seals it to prevent future corrosion. This special coating cures within 24 hours, leaving you a frame that's strong inside and out even in the subframe and cavities.

this stuff so far is working well
turns the naked metal a nice silvery gray color and prevents flash rust
primer goes on smoothly
it does sting when it starts seeping through the disposable gloves though!
must be rather careful with the handling
turned the unblasted paint silver for some reason that i wiped some excess on that had not been cleaned to metal yet
