What do you use to take paint and rust off. I could sand blast it but it would cost me $500 in sand just to do everything. I dont want to paint over rust and old paint must be something else out there that takes the paint and rust off.

 

Well to truly get 100% of the rust sandblasting is the only way. That or take a grinder with a heavy wire wheel and grind off as much as possible and paint over with rust paint, bedliner etc. The frame will always rust no matter what.

You can prep sand the whole bed too or go all out and use aircraft paint striper. That stuff is insane but be sure the surfaced is throughly cleaned before painting over again.

 

Whats the aircraft paint stripper where do you get that from.

 

I've seen cans of it at Autozone before, its a Rust-Oleum product. The shop I was at bought it in gallon cans from our paint supplier.

I would do more research on it as I haven't used it personally but seen it done.

 

May be able to use this stuff for the frame

Well that stripping stuff isnt to expensive same price as a bag of sand and will probly cover a larger area gonna try it i think.

 

Go to the beach. Lots of sand there.

 

Lol

 

There's no way that would cost $500 in sand if the blaster is set up half decent, I use crushed glass and its $10 for a 50 lbs bag. For the frame that's about your only option besides using por 15. On the box use a rough grit sand paper and a wire wheel or sand blast it too, if you don't get all the rust cleaned up it'll only take a week before the new paint bubbles.

 

Exactly i want to sand blast everything and i have the largest tip you can put on otherwise it wont come off but it does work good for what sand it does. Im sure it will be $150 just to do the frame i do plan on using por15 if i can find it under $130 per gallon and use it on the body too. But ya i want everything to bar metal when i paint it. 90% of the body is rust free at least. Gotta do the box fenders but i have new ones already where do you get new inner ones from.
