fluid film

a new local garage had fluid film sign in window, so i had it done,, wow,, 254.00, completly covered everthing, inside doors, i mean eveything.. looks super,, this is on my 2017 tacoma PRO. good price ??

 

Considering I spend that much every year on my back laying under the truck with spray cans , I think you did fairly well .
Only issue I find is that everything sticks to the fluid film . It does have a tendency to wash off when power sprayed but in order to keep the salt away , all you can do is re-apply the stuff the following year .
Toyota,s frames are designed for the desert lol , not the salt belt . If you dont keep up with constant frame maintenance , eventually the frame is going to bite you in the @ss .

 

Doesn't seem bad to me; a gallon of FF on its own is >$50; door panels are likely 20 minutes R&R each, so yeah, I'd say you done did good.

 

What'cha gotta do is have a Woolwax/Fluid Film Party yearly like we do in Mass. @jpereira2 does this in his neck of the woods every year and sometimes twice a year. $70.00 for our trucks and a little more for full size trucks. To me you paid way to much, but hey you wanted it done now. You peeps up in PA should think about a Party it's a great idea.

 

Don’t do it! Scientists proved it will destroy your truck.

 

i can tell you one thing,, the 10 MONTH old fox ...rusted. looked like shit, 1600.00 shocks. look 100% better.. all the threads were rusted to hell. and the remote reservoir line couplings were rusted to hell also,, everything looks great.. even coated towing receiver , he did everything, looks like a new truck under there.. with oil change 338.00.. we needed a new garage in town,, this guy used to work at toyota, changing frames and everything else, so hes out on his own, bought a local closed up garage.. and he has my business from now on... very nice guy. and professional.. glad to see someone starting a local business, and hes booked thru end of next month,

this in on my 2017 Pro. northeast pa. truck for going on 5 yrs. glad he came to town.. or it would never have happened..

 

Win win in my book.

 

I live in Maine, NH next door clears the roads with salt ME is not far behind My frame work is still black it is moves it gets coated bolts etc (I may want to remove them one day). Buy the FF gun it's cheap.

 

I guess its a good price if it holds up several years, but not so good if your in the rust belt having to reapply it every fall. I did a far more permeant job using cosmoline rp-342 for around $100 figuring in all the disposable protective gear used to complete the job. I didn't charge myself labor.

 

Nothing like getting dirty and messy all together.

 

FLUID FILM IS A SACM

 

Fluid film bad mmmkay! Retains water and causes rust! I read that somewhere on the internet!

 

I think I paid $160ish last year but no doors included.

 

9 bucks a can 2 cans to cover the truck seems pricey but is a messy job!

 

Some homeless guy told me Fluid Film was great. No issues and prevents rusting. Okay it was really a homeless guy on the internet so how could I go wrong.
