You guys are great.
My frame has been bare metal for so long that it would take me days to strip the rust off of it.
I am just going to paint it but I want it to be clean as possible.
I'll try the wire wheel and if it cleans up fairly easy I may go that route.

I sure did. Phosphoric acid is a very mild acid that is great for rust removal. Its commonly used in the form of Naval Jelly, but I used it in liquid form and mixed it 50/50 with water. As far as naturalizing it, after I removed all traces of rust I washed the frame with a red scotch bite pad, warm water, and detergent> Then I rinsed it again with water. I know people use baking soda but my primer warns against that. Then I DA sanded and hand sanded the spots I could not reach, and hit the frame DA with 80 grit paper, cleaned with wax and grease remover and applied epoxy and single stage black. I recently had to make a change to the frame and tried to hand sand the area, that was like give a whale a tic tac.lol I had to brake out the DA so there are no adhesion issues. The frame has been painted for about 2 years.

The picture of my frame that I posted was how it looked after the acid wash, but when I sprayed it, it was bright and shiny metal.

That looks like some wild stuff. It seems you would have to have a complex set up to use it at home.

Kim: When are you painting the frame and what coating are you going to use? Also, what color? I'm going with an epoxy primer and two part urethane top coat in semi-gloss black. Thought I'd make it look like late model factory.

Right now I'm thinking of using Rustoleum primer and then the Rustoleum Hammered black top coat.
I think it will hide some of the imperfections in the frame and should be fairly durable and easy to touch up if I have to make any changes down the road.

Kim

"Imperfections", in your frame? I don't think so.

Anyway, I saw a hammer finish on a frame (I think it was on the internet somewhere) and it looked great.

sgtusmc · 09-23-2012, 12:08 AM

Great job Kim! Truck is looking great. I painted the wheels on my Tacoma with the black hammered Rustoleum a few years ago. No chips so far, and they get plenty of offroad time.

I like the hammered black. I am thinking about painting my rally wheels as well as my frame.
I painted the stove hood in our kitchen hammered silver on the inside and black on the outside. that stuff is pretty tough!
