Great vid, I thought you had switched to the PB blaster range of lanolin spray??

[@RepairGeek]

@@joeboonen7421 i still exclusively use lanolin on a daily driven vehicle. I had people wanting me to explore the paint option. Some people had trailers, old cars, farm equipment, that they wanted to paint.

[@joeboonen7421]

Thanks for the reply but I more meant that you used surface shield as opposed to the PB blaster lanoline , which in your previous video you said was a better product.

[@aksuarezjd]

Only problem I see is that I would NEVER bring the car down from the lift until EVERYONE I know comes to take a look while I enjoy the kudos and admiration. No way that car would leave my driveway unless is an absolute sunny day, no wind and two days after a good rain that rinsed the streets' asphalt. I would cry if it gets dirty. SPECTACULAR JOB

Id still be like dude check out the bottom of my car lol Great job, i was watching your videos on fluid film an surface shield and was wondering if you used mastercoat, then stumbled upon this. Thinking about using it on my frame. Youve got aome great content, everything is thoroughly explained etc.. Subscribed

[@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.

[@DanHoopes211]

What's the "similar modern product" that you sourced?

[@Lumber_Jack]

​@@DanHoopes211 Fertan UBS240. After it flashes off and dries, it's a fairly close visual match for the Dinitrol (which is not available in the USA).

I use a type of epoxy primer for painting boat under water section for my car bottom. Just like you did. It takes a long time to see if it is good or not. Right now it is still holding up. I don't know if it is better than other product, since I never used other product before. It is only car bottom I've painted in my life so far:)

[@SgtToastieYT]

Your point on these videos being useful for any metal painting is correct. I'm currently repainting our snow blower and the process is almost the same (different paint). Luckily every part of a snow blower beyond the chassis is easily suspended for painting.

Today, I wired wheeled my frame and applied some Krud kutter in the cracks and spots that I couldn’t reach with my angle grinder. Results are pretty good I’m very happy (thanks to your channel).

What would you recommend for an engine paint or other suitable type of high-heat application? I'm in the process of removing rust from an iron block and want to repaint it.

[@RepairGeek]

Not sure! That is something that I'm going to have to test!

[@williamstidham2163]

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.

Feeling overwhelmed. Wondering what would be best/simple if I have a a rusty truck that I don't plan on taking the cab off and want to get the frame and underneath as good as I can Thinking 1. Getting loose rust off with grinder 2. Using rustoelum rust dissolver 3. But then not sure what's a simple rattle can option to to spray as a primer/rust inhibitor 4. Then just any black paint to finish it? 5.Would a clear coat on top be a good idea?

@@RepairGeek it's an old truck ill drive in the summer, I'm trying to restore it best I can

[@RepairGeek]

@@patrickswayyze Do what I did in part 1 and part 2 of this series and the will work for you. If you want to paint over rust, what I'm showing you in this series is what you will want to do. 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.

[@flonga2302]

What’s the benefit of this system versus a traditional powder coat for a bare frame?

Excellent! If using 25$ worth of thinner to clean a $15 spray gun makes sense, this isn't the channel for you.

[@DavidSmith-tc4um]

Do you have a method of repairing holes up to quarter size that will play nice with the painting system you used. I’m doing the floor of a 95 Landcruiser that rusted from the inside of the vehicle out. The cab had a leak and I found the carped was wet when I bought it. Now I have to close a couple of quarter size holes and several little pin holes. I have fixed the original cause of the water intrusion.

[@RepairGeek]

There isn't much you can do about holes other than weld in new metal and use this paint on top of that.

One of the complaints about POR 15 is that it's brittle and will crack if the surface flexes. Does the Mastercoat stuff have the same issue?

[@RepairGeek]

The Raptor probably isn't as durable as the AG111 but I liked the textured look of it. I really doubt I will have any problems with the Raptor. The car doesn't get driven enough to get any real wear and tear.

[@libtrs838]

Have you looked into coal tar epoxy used to paint ships or other marine epoxy paints like PPG PSX 700 ? Which I think is currently used by the navy and other military ships, also bridges, airports, NASA. Wondering if you know anything about them or if it's a bad idea to use for some reason?

[@RepairGeek]

Checked it out. B117 salt spray data shows that PPG PSX 700 lasting 5500 hours. This Mastercoat paint does 14,000 and it's about 1/2 the cost. I'm not saying the PPG is bad paint. It's much better than POR or KBS for corrosion resistance. Would you have great results using the PPG probably, but I did also using the Mastercoat.

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.

It looks literally the same. About 7000 miles later, nothing has chipped, nothing has flaked. There is nothing worth shooting a video on. This car only sees rain a few times a year. I never sees salt or any winter driving.
