Creating instant RUST on the body panels - BUDGET RAT TRUCK BUILD

Continuing the 1951 Chevy Budget Rat Truck build, I experiment with methods to create instant rust on the newly fabricated body panels. I use easily obtainable household ingredients.

I’m intrigued by your entire program and the processes you use. I also like your choice of musical background. Please keep it up.

[@aceadman]

Interesting. A weak acid creates rust instantly. A strong acid creates it slowly OR cleans it off entirely. Science!! 😊👍👍

[@peterwoodward8205]

It is great to see old trucks begin new life ...I don't have the availability to old vehicles were Iive Great work man

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you!

[@donaldhalls2189]

Couple of good pointers, thanks for the video, all the best to you and your loved ones, and have a Lekka one

[@DonCatherman]

All we have to do here in Mississippi is clean it down to bare metal... Mother nature will do the rest PDQ.. The humidity and the saltair takes care of it pretty fast... I think we will give that peroxide trick a try. 👍👍😎💪💯

[@donhippy3050]

Building my first rat truck rotrod and watched your videos exclusively and intensely. I'm 67 and it's about time doing all work myself. Thanks for your inspiration. Don

[@ratrodsafrica]

Pleasure man. Real happy if I can inspire! Enjoy your build!

Diff got jokes lol. Had me going with the eggs. Great video. This would work really good with some spot painting greens and other colors before application of the peroxide. Cheers from Alaska

Interesting viewing. Had to watch it a second time, will be sure to visit it again. Have to try out this chemistrickery. Thank you for sharing Div. Have to admit I skipped the strip down video, this stuff is much more interesting just like the surgery stuff.

Cool little video, it was awesome seeing how fast it all happened,I love it

Glad you enjoyed it

[@paneltruckbob]

Well one things for sure you put the Diff in Dare to be Different. I really like your Black Triple R Recovery Truck would you consider making a Video telling about it?

[@ratrodsafrica]

Quite a few people have asked about it. I will do a video in the future

[@paveloleynikov4715]

Can't wait to see how it would look like after oil treatment (or what concoction you use for anti corrosion protection and colour deepending). Potentially it looks spectacular

[@ratrodsafrica]

The oil will definitely make it darker

I've actually seen another youtuber do the peroxide recipe. Can't remember who it was. But it seems to work very well

Thats pretty crazy especially since i use vinegar to remove rust sometimes but nice trick i will remember it thanks again

[@johnnymac1580]

Not bad ⚡️

[@DependableAutoTruck]

great information thanks

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Dif (or is it Diff?). 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! This is a really fast reaction. I definitely didn't expect the mixture to do so well. Usually I want to get rid of rust and therefore I might never need this procedure. On second thought: I do scrap metal art and sometimes added things simply look too new/shiny. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.

[@ratrodsafrica]

I think there is much scope for using this technique in metal art. You can create all sorts of interesting effects!

[@iceman5068]

Look good

Worked in a plating shop for23years we called it HCL not hci as for peroxide we used it to strip tin lead plated parts nasty if you get it on your skin .Love your blogs keep em coming .

Looking good Div. Your oil will probably darken it a bit as well.

Thanks. Yes, the oil will definitely darken it.

@@ratrodsafrica your very welcome.

[@stashwaxroller1740]

Have used the same concoction before but never on so big a panel. Very Impressive ! Looking forward to seeing it all assembled.

[@ratrodsafrica]

You and me both!😀

[@chuckdivel3600]

Great work as always. Never disappointing.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thank you

[@thequixotryworkshop2424]

Thanks for the nice experiment! I always used to use pool acid to rust stuff. Method: Put undiluted pool acid on the panel with a brush in the shade, not in the sun. Leave it overnight, do not rinse. Next day, rinse with clean water. Keep it wet with a spray bottle in the sun. Every time it dries, it rusts a little more. However. It seems to me tgat the hydrogen peroxide does a much quicker and less hassles job of it. I am going to try this next time I want to rust metal!

[@ratrodsafrica]

I've also only used the pool acid method before. Much slower but it seems to me that it does create a deeper, darker rust over time. The H2O2 method is a lot of fun though, and much quicker!

[@stevo.jurisic1980]

Great results Diff! 🤙🏼it surprised me how quickly the reaction took place, very interesting 🤔 it's going to look great back on the ute all rusty, looking forward to it Diff. Cheers mate, another great video 🍻🇦🇺

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks 👍 Yes, rapid reaction😅

[@MauricioGoncalves.]

Resultado impressionante, obrigado por mostrar. Grande abraço meu amigo!

[@hankpugh4980]

I've used the peroxide solution before. If you spray a matte clear on the panels it really darkens the orange rust color. I just used cheap rattle cans of the matte clear and held up well. Looks good!!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Personally I'm not a fan of a clear coat, will be using boiled linseed oil

[@jamesduke4957]

Ahahahahaha. I laughed so hard when you put the eggs🥚🥚 on the table 😂

[@markrobertson9015]

Cool I think they both work great I never knew the peroxide would do it so fast but I knew about the pool acid but it always was used to remove rust faster to prepare the surface for painting.you learn something new everyday. I enjoyed watching that can't wait to see the results.great video be cool.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thanks man

[@robertstevison1448]

Lol !!! Awesome humor with the eggs !!!! Thank you for sharing this humor made my day lol !!! That solution is powerful !!! You used the passenger bedside panel !!!! Did you do the whole truck or just spots !!!! Awesome video as always brother 👍

Glad you enjoyed it! Did all the newly fabricated panels.

That’s Works instantaneously (big word Lol) Great video Duff. Are you going to do the rims as well? Always look forward to your videos.

Thanks Alexander! I'm thinking of painting the rims a cool color. Not sure yet, will see...

[@jacquesvanrooyen706]

Thanks for the tip Div. I ll try it definitely on my ratrod. I heard some guys use the hair peroxide.

[@ratrodsafrica]

I think the hair peroxide is the same thing, but it might be a much weaker solution

[@johnnymack8442]

Hey do you have videos of your tow truck? It looks interesting.i would like to know more about it. Thanks

[@ratrodsafrica]

A few people have asked, I will do a video in the future 👍

[@sandralth]

Could you lay out some flames and etch them in with the peroxide before you put the final finish on? Jay from Canada.

[@ratrodsafrica]

I'm sure that could work yes. Never tried it though

I love boiled eggs but my wife hates them if you catch my drift! 😂😂😂😂 the rust patina looks great Duff! 👍 looking forward to seeing the old girl put back together. Have a great rest of the week young man. Take care Duff…..You had better be careful taking things your wife uses….😂😂👍😂🇺🇸🙏

[@tv-ll5bl]

Just want to find out.. Wat method of preserve do u use after the peroxide.. Will boiled linseed work?

[@ratrodsafrica]

Yes, I am a huge fan of boiled linseed oil! See the video: Refining and preserving patina

[@gregjobson4844]

That concoction is fast Diff, I have used neat HCI followed by a saltwater wash x 5 or so but the process is slow compared to this (mind you I did forget the eggs lol ) so I will be trying this method next time I need to rust something. Cheers

[@ratrodsafrica]

I've also only been using the HCI in the past

[@carliwhalen1018]

Do you sand it down after or what do you use to finish the rust look ?

[@ratrodsafrica]

Just wire brush the loose rust, then coat with a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits

[@davidroper9129]

in rust we trust,lekka dif !

[@ratrodsafrica]

Thats the motto!😅

[@ekim000]

You're a black belt oom! I use 3 percent hydrogen peroxide with a bit of salt as the solution for rust bluing small gun parts. Stuff is quick but you need to be sure you clean it off properly or it makes deep pits. I'd suggest giving those panels a good wash before oiling them.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Only belt I have is the one keeping my pants up😅

[@benniebuys891]

Daai peroxide werk terig soos 'n bom, ek het ou pad tekens gekry wat ek sal gebruik as my donar patch metal....hahaha hulle het ook al patina op van hulle eie. Jy vorder rerig nie sleg nie, myne staan nog net so, my werk hou my te besig. Mooi man Div, hou so aan 👍
