Ziebart preserved my bed paint, look! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 08-30-2015, 05:48 PM

My 1985 K/20 with 33k original miles was Ziebarted when it was new ( it's a wax oily tar type rust proofing ). It's nasty and they sprayed it everywhere

. I have the receipt and it was done when the truck had 70 miles on it. They also put a bed liner in it and running boards at the same time. When I removed the bed liner I discovered they sprayed the inside of the bed with it before installing the bed liner. Well I wanted a painted bed, no bed liner. i found out diesel fuel will remove the Ziebart with some effort. Well it wasn't easy, but I did it! I removed all the Ziebart! The paint is like new, the liner did mess up the paint on the floor a little, but I'm ok with that. Check it out

JacobSchni · 08-30-2015, 06:22 PM

what are you using to get the ziebart and bedliner off? I want to re bed line my bed, but the last guy did a half ass job. no prep work so its peeling and smoothed out

**73kay** · 08-30-2015, 06:30 PM

He said diesel fuel. Also I think he had a drop in liner not a spray in.

**lolife99** · 08-30-2015, 07:07 PM

Great job!

mrolds88 · 08-30-2015, 07:36 PM

Nice job, Joe. Dad had an 80 shortbed that was Ziebarted when it was new too. The only part that didn't rot to pieces that was ziebarted was the tube at thhe top of the front of the bed.

I couldn't agree more, I was so happy I was able to remove that stuff from the inside of the bed. I'm taking it to the All truck Nationals in Kansas City in a few weeks

stomper · 08-31-2015, 01:59 PM

BEAUTIFUL! I would also do that.
