Question for you fellers. I've used Evaporust, and really like it a lot. But, I've only had the luck when I soak the parts. I am hoping for a "paint on" option of some sort. I want to derustify my SN95 spindles, and the rear calipers.

Anyone have a go to for this scenario?

Will a converter work for those ? Eastwood has a good converter. You know, converts rust to a paintable surface.

A converter is probably not what you're looking for. I've seen this method used with success on automotive parts in the past. That worked really well.

I couldn't think of what it was called when you first asked lol.

Can you tell us how well that would work, Phil?
It's open underneath, but you have to go in from the front or back.

Yep, and detail jobs.

Heck, I bet it would have been nice to have when White was painting the Mustang.

These will store standing up against a wall, and the control unit is not too big.
I agree it doesn't compare to a full-size lift.
But you can't fit a full-size lift in my garage, and it would be bolted to the floor making it a bigger waste of space for me.

I didn't say full size lift, not for that small of a garage lol.

They go much higher, recces into the concrete level with the floor if desired and cost three times as much.

Thanks for the pics, Phil. Definitely more room than I anticipated. Are they fairly easy to maneuver onto the hangers? Or have you even set that up yet?
