rec bri wrote: so i decided to go all "coskev"   Rust Bullet is my recommended paint now  After doin research on Por15 I was put off by the amount of bad threads on internet about it  I have used Epoxy Mastic121 before,and that is not a patch on the Rust Bullet  It can be used on ANY surface,clean metal/rusty metal/wood/concrete/plastic/painted metal etc  I can't say how long it will keep the rust at bay as only used it just under a year ago,although Rust Bullet quote it will last 10 years over previously rusty metal. One test I have tried out is the 'How long will it take to get off my hands' test  It will still be on hands after about 5 showers and attacking with the nail brush! Other paints will peel off skin pretty easily when dry,not Rust Bullet  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Mine has a bit of the steel missing due to rust in this area, would you be interested in welding some fresh steel in there Phil? If you are, how many beer tokens would you want?  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

http://www.rustbulletuk.com/faq/all_faq.php?cat_id=5Looking through the FAQ's it is acidic as is good for aluminum so it must be like what etch primer is like on bare steel. Having a ten year guarantee is what makes this paint very good, an worth buying. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

I called them up and was told it doesn't have an etch type chemical, you have to sand key the clean steel surface using 300 or so grade, similar to the rust surface. I was also told that because its a very hard paint, when the chassis moves it will crack and let water in, so it is best for flat surfaces with no seams etc. Properly good quality applied PU sealant will sort the seams out.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Bit of a thread bump but after fully stripping all the rust off I've found a couple of rust holes in the cross-member behind the front wheels where jacking it up on the thin box section has resulted in water getting under the underseal. I'm going to get it properly fixed by a Pug-approved bodyshop, as there is no point spending money on the car if the structure isn't right. One side has already been fixed (see photo), but I noticed that the other (yet to be fixed) side has a drain(?) hole that is not present on the repaired side which is in addition to - and inboard of - the hole which has a 20mm bung. This is the side that has been repaired previously.  Does water drain through here? ISTR a comment where someone said there is a water drain here through the chassis? Or is it OK to seal it up after welding and inject loads of cavity wax into it. EDIT: found the comment in this thread: phillipm wrote: Quite common for them to go there if the outlet gets dented/blocked, it's the drain through the chassis. Need to drill a drain hole then! ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

The holes are there for drainage, fill the cavity with the Dynax UB then leave the hole there. The UB wax will suffocate the rust from spreading, it will also stop any water getting onto the metal, even if its dirty/dusty, the wax will stick to anything. The hole will also be needed for when you need to re-apply the wax after a few years too, it doesn't last for ever if you want it to keep on working.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.
