Seasoned Patina Guys: what do I do?
Going back together on the interior to the cab, and I have the dash out, ready for reinstall. But I plan on painting the outside (driver facing) of the dash in a semi gloss clear, what do yall normally do to the backside? I'd hate for the rust to continue, should I clear coat it to seal it or do the work to put an actual sealer on it? This will be a year round driver.

Re: Seasoned Patina Guys: what do I do?
This is what I use. I spray it on everything inside and out if it has rust.

Just remember that the radio and other pieces ground thru their mounting to the dash.

Re: Seasoned Patina Guys: what do I do?
What would you suggest? I know Im clearing the exposed part of the dash, but the rear of the dash, what would you do? Im fine with leaving it natural if you dont think it would be an issue, just want to know what the experienced guys do.

Re: Seasoned Patina Guys: what do I do?
I am not sure. I was just pointing it out so when you put it all together you don't have to chase grounding issues. Those are not fun. Normally I just leave under the dash alone on mine pending that they aren't super flashy with rust. Or add a ground block and ground things using separate wires.

Before you clear the top of the dash, try using the Extend. It leaves a finish that doesn't look "fake". Just scuff with a pad, wipe it down and spray it on.

Re: Seasoned Patina Guys: what do I do?
Another great rust treatment I've been using a long time is Permatex Rust Treatment spray. Both Xtend and the Permatex can be painted directly. I use it alone on all my rusty metal signs outside. There are many products out there but many leave oxidation crust that must be dealt with.
