Rust under truck!! ahhhh

HELP….I found some surface rust under my truck…been going up to Tahoe every weekend..how do I fix the surface rust under my truck? Is this a big problem?

 

Not a big problem, sand it off to bare metal. Then paint a light coat, then paint again in 15 min. That's it.

 

Should I invest in a pressure water and spray under my truck everytime I come back from the snow?

Spray and scrub with a broom under the truck?

Thanks

 

It would not be a bad idea to wash the salt from under your truck when you come back from north pole.. Rustoleum paint does a pretty good repairing rust spots. Just make sure you remove the loose rust first.

 

Do They make rustoleum SPRAY paint?

 

yes^

 

You can spray just about any paint if you make it thin enough But seriously, it comes in aresol cans at vatozone and such.

 

Just sand off the rust and hit it with some rustoleum in the rattle can! You can get it at Wally world!

 

Water based paint will make the rust worse! Get something that's to help prevent rust!

 

like what?

 

what he said

 

Like rustoleum!

 

Washing any salt deposits off the underside of your truck is always a good idea. The sooner you get it off the better.

Like many people have said. Get some f'ing Rustoleum and go to town on your trucks underside. Use a wirebrush to clean it off then wipe with rubbing alcohol. Then spray away.

You can also use 3M's rubberized undercoating if you want but the rustoleum is very good.

 

thanks!

 

FAIK they don't use salt out in this part of the country. Sand maybe, but not salt.

What does Toyota paint the underside of the truck with, watercolor?

BTW 7000 miles, no rust showing yet.....

 

They dont use salt in the sierra? by CALTRANS?

 

Must have my head up my... Yes, they do. Thought I'd read differently over the years. They "reduced" the salt, but it's still used.

And since they do use it, yes, I would wash the underside everytime, watercolor oem paint or not...
