[@Lumber_Jack]

Very thorough and detailed. That is an insane amount of work (you have some serious dedication) when considering videos 1 & 2 combined. I am curious if you have ever considered a more potent undercoating product instead of prep & paint, such as the products made from wax and bitumen. Same concept as treating your crevices and cavities -- you basically smother the bare metal and rust with the product and it halts further rust development (would even do that for minor rust under the old e-coat). I have a 35-year old car that got Dinitrol 4942 wax/bitumen/aluminized coating applied to the frame and underbody from the factory, and it's still there. I need to touch up an area that got washed off when a fuel line was drained, and sourced a similar modern product. It can be sprayed or brushed on. It flashes to a consistency that feels like sticky solidified bacon grease and stays put, with some self-healing and re-sealing properties if it gets scratched. Only thing that will take it off is mineral spirits or gasoline, or a similar solvent. So it won't wash off from water/etc like lanolin does. I'd be tempted to use a product like that instead of sanding and treating the rust then painting, since it would save a lot of labor. For sure the paint looks neater, but that wax/bitumen undercoating would have given you decades of protection and the only labor would have been spraying it on. Use the black colored stuff and it even looks pretty nice. Anyhow, nice job, I've done sanding/treatment/prep/paint on a mower deck and that was enough to kick my butt! Can't imagine doing it for a whole car underbody.

[@RepairGeek]

I spoke about what I normally do in part 1. The lanolin that I sprayed on the internal cavities I use on the entire undercarriage. This car I wanted a clean undercarriage. It's the things you don't realize that take all the time. Painting brackets, fasteners, cleaning up plastic etc.

Strip as much rust as possible, treat any leftover rust with phosphoric acid, and paint it with a paint of your choosing. If you just want to stop rust but don't care what the bottom of the truck looks like use a lanolin undercoating. Much less labor but needs yearly reapplications for best results.

Have to watch for chips in this because when your block gets hot this will crack and let the block hide rust and same for rock’s flying hitting the bottom of car to expose the frame and body and let your car rust without you seeing it, Best to blow oil on it from your oil change before winter and wash it off in the summer for keeping your rust away from salts.

Would like to see a video of you testing this coating like you did with KBS, POR15, etc.

[@RepairGeek]

This was the first time that I had used the Mastercoat products. I called Mastercoat and they suggested that I apply the bedliner or any other top coat once the primer gets tacky. By spraying topcoat when the primer is somewhat wet lets the solvents in the 2 products mix a little and gives a great bond. What swayed me towards this product was the fact that it's used by municipalities. You won't find any bridge painted with POR or KBS. I heavily researched this product over an afternoon. I have yet to find a single person (who has actually used it) that says this stuff is crap, even reading online reviews. Some people may have products that they prefer over this stuff but I haven't found anyone that flat out says it's garbage. You can't say that about POR or KBS. I found out about the Mastercoat products because a viewer watched that KBS, POR15 video that you're speaking of. I may do some more work with paints because people seem interested in it.

Won't the grease you put in the bolt holes mess up the torque settings and risk overtorquing? I agree that tape is a pain so I've been inserting small bits of shop towels twisted into a wad with enough sticking out to make removal after painting easy.

[@RepairGeek]

The consequences of over torquing a fuel tank strap and transmission mount are non existent. What issue would an over torqued transmission mount cause? If grease causes you to over torque something so badly that you break the bolts off, perhaps auto repair isn't your strong point.

[@kovie9162]

@@RepairGeek Last year I rebuilt a manual transmission, did a full TB/WP job, rebuilt all 4 calipers & strut assemblies and am now completing a full rear end overhaul job, including opening up and taking apart the diff. So I'm good there. I just like to do things by the book since I'm not a pro and haven't developed enough "feel" to be confident in my work. No harm in using a torque wrench, and grease totally messes up the readings. Plus, the issue isn't just snapping the bolt or nut during reinstallation, but while on the road at highway speeds. Overtorqueing doesn't necessarily result in immediate failure, but it sets a fastener to be more likely to fail, like trans mounts that absorb vibration. Anyway, I was just saying that if you do this and like to use a torque wrench, you won't get proper readings, and I still prefer the twisted shop towel piece method.

[@DanHoopes211]

Grease will not mess up torque on a bolt. I do a ton of work on bicycles. They are ultra sensitive to torque and all bolts/nuts MUST be greased when assembling. Will not cause a properly torqued bolt to fall out, but it will allow you to remove it when you want to.

[@kovie9162]

@@DanHoopes211 I'm not a bike mech but I've maintained and repaired my bikes over the years and built one up from parts some years ago, so I know a LITTLE bit about it. And have read up a lot on both. Certainly enough to know that while there are some similarities between it and car maintenance and repair, the two are simply too different to be very comparable. For one thing, car fasteners are generally torqued to much higher values than bike fasteners, with some notable exceptions like cranks and cassettes (the latter being self-torquing in most cases). Where on a car is there a critical fastener torqued to say 5-10 ft-lbs? And where on a bike is there one torque to say 50-100 ft-lbs? And car fasteners are subjected to stresses that bike ones generally are not, like vibration, primary and nth order, heat, cold, temp cycling, fluid spills, g-forces, dynamic and static weight, etc. Plus, even on bikes, you generally don't apply grease to fasteners. On some, especially titanium ones, you use anti-seize. On others you use threadlocker. And on some, yes, grease would be ok. But in no case does grease or anti-seize not affect torque readings. Not sure where you got the idea that it doesn't, but it does. Perhaps not always to the extent where it matters, but a basic understanding of friction and lubricants explains how this is so, which you can easily find online in various grease, lubricant and anti-seize, and fasterner makers' web sites and other how-to sites. I get it, you're in the "I have a lot of experience and know what I'm doing so I don't need to worry about torque and friction and can do it by feel" camp. Which is fine if that works for you, not so fine if it doesn't and you experience catastrophic failure doing 20+ on the road. Just ask anyone who's had a carbon fiber fork tube fail due to fractures caused by overtorquing the stem bolts due to greased bolts. Or control arm or knuckle bolts snap due to overtorquing due to greased bolts.

[@kovie9162]

Note that I'm NOT saying to never apply a friction modifier to fasteners, be it anti-seize, threadlock or grease, just to realize that it WILL affect the torque reading and to adjust the applied torque accordingly.

Yep that's why.

[@libtrs838]

@@kevinanderson8939 did you click "see all buying options" some things on Amazon look like they aren't available or for sale until you click that

I'm lazy. I clean off loose rust and just use Rust to Primer in a rattle can! 😁

[@lmCIoudz]

And what is why your results will be poor :)

[@dieseltech139]

That's just your opinion, which means nothing as it seems to work well for me including the work I am doing on my 66 Dodge A100 project...😁 Your results might vary....

[@robertthrem3382]

They have a can of spray paint 🎨 Rust-Oleum converts rust. With lacquer base. I think that's a big No-No it will make your paint peal that is left behind. I don't think lacquer works with today's paints?? you will get an adverse reaction???!!!!. It's like using paint remover

[@mackendw]

it would be cheaper and less time intensive to move to arizona....

[@RepairGeek]

Then I would be repainting the top of the car instead...

@@RepairGeek zing!

[@Thomas-jj1zo]

hundreds of cars, millions of miles, years of proof that it works. Nope

Not knowing exactly what is in your painting product. I would be using 100% supplied air with eye cover. You can restore your lungs.

The very second I talked about PPE in part 1 audience retention took a drastic nose dive. I can talk about it all I want. Fact of the matter is the audience doesn't care.

[@highlandbob2470]

What!!! PPE should be the #1 consideration in any work environment before starting any job. Regarding rustproofing: My 1997 Ford F-250 took 3 weeks to rustproof with Mil-spec. I still drive in Ontario today. 800k. I did all your testing 25 years ago too to find the best product.

Sorry, “You can not restore your lungs”

[@williamstidham2163]

If you do a chip test you would think twice, when salt and sand hit the steal it will rust away behind this and eat the car up, Will be hard to scrape off, paint is better, wash and add paint to stop rust.

[@branchsnapper2228]

Have you tried lanolin on a clean steel plate to test the creep rate? Very different to cardboard.

[@weebeast2726]

Would rustgrip paint be similar to the mastercoat rust sealer it has 15000 hours salt spray test and is available in australia, your opinion would be great as I know nothing about paint haha.

[@mattdomenic4814]

I don’t think that job could be done any better for an on frame rust prevention system! Stunning job.
