Best way to clean this up
Since I'm having to swap cabs I'm going to go ahead and clean the frame up. Which is the best way to clean the frame up before spraying it with some chassis black

Re: Best way to clean this up
I used a wire wheel and one of those coarse sanding wheel things

Re: Best way to clean this up
Use por 15 with a scrub brush or a steam cleaner first. Then wire wheel all the rust off. Por 15 makes a metal ready you can use before painting.

Re: Best way to clean this up
This is the pad I think Old Rusty was talking about. I used these on mine and worked very well. Hard to get into tight spots, but that is where the wire wheel will come into play.

Re: Best way to clean this up
^^ stripping discs work good. Some leave this plastic like crap stuck to the metal that you want to remove prior to painting

Re: Best way to clean this up
pressure sprayer at the local car wash to remove the big stuff. then muriatic acid sprayed through a bug sprayer to remove rust from the bare metal. google it first, its nasty stuff and smells terrible, then use your por 15 over it

Re: Best way to clean this up
Easgwood Company Fast Etch. Crazy how good it works. If it's really bad, pressure wash the heavy flakes off first, then Fast Etch.
