I'd be interested in doing this, but I'm sure it's not cheap. That truck was decently clean underneath already. I'd assume that truck hasn't seen too much road salt. Any idea what they're using for the coating? I coated under my truck with linseed oil last year. It worked really well and dried to a light sheen like your pics. It even darkened the little rust I had.

Pretty unusual to see a rear swaybar on a F150. Did you add it?

Frame was in pretty good shape to start for sure, not great but definitely worse ones around in more rust prone locations. Far from clean though, but hours and hours of pressure washing sure helped haha.

This is the place that did it, not entirely sure the coating make up.

Rear sway bar in an add on, Hellwig, and I love it.

Looks great. How did you win a discount and what did it cost you? Thanks

Just a random draw on Instagram haha, local business though. Ended up about $900 CDN all in, that included a few extra hours of washing due to this trucks life in the mud.

Have seen several videos on dry ice blasting. Very cool results. Neat how it just evaporates away and little to no mess.

Finally had a chance to wash it up nice today, overall after 1 year and 4 months of dirt roads, mud, and another winter it looks good. High impact areas of course are a bit beat up, wheel wells need a shot of black paint, but shop was quite open with me that would happen. Diff got opened up since as well, can see that pretty clear.
