    Rust Prevention

    I’ve seen it discussed here, and I just did my yesterday. All prep was done with POR15 prep spray, and POR15 paint was used. Mechanical prep was done with a needle scaler and pneumatic sander with 36 grit.
    A tiny bit of drip occurred but zero worries on my end. Everything dried to a gorgeous appearance and rust is no worry on my end. The pics are of the paint wet. I did the rear twist beam, front subframe, control arms, pinch welds, behind the rockers and the floors.

    That's an amazing job. If I had a hoist and a clean garage I could do so much.

    Just don't get it on your skin. Only time will take it off once it sets up.
