Does anyone else have rust problems like i do? I have rust all on my underbody of my truck.

Does anyone know how to get rid of rust? Can you?

 

If it has not started to eat its way into the metal and is just surface rust you can sandblast or simply sand it off, then I would use a rubberized undercoating.

 

Ok. Thanks

And what if it has ate into the metal?

 

Its still the same process but now you just have to fix it with welding.

 

My DS door is starting to chip at the bottom, the pass rear is blistering and my rockers have some rust...........I hate salt....I wash it religisouly, its just I bought it used....can only do so much.

 

I had some random rust dots on the paint about two years ago but I rubbed them out with compound and waxed the whole truck good and haven't seen them since. As far as underbody I don't knowmaybe I should check. lol

ya none of my truck is rusting thankfully, except for the underbody. Its really bad.
i think il just sand it out and hopefully thatl do the trick.

 

when you say "underbody" do you mean the literal body or something like the frame?

 

like EVERYTHING under. Like frame, tow hitch everything on the under side of the truck is rusting. even my exhaust.

If it wasnt dark out id go take pics but to late. maybe tmrw

 

Well then sand it down and you can easily coat it. I coated my frame with flat back Engine paint. That stuff is tough, looks great still. I have to fine tune the rest of it this summer and do some dressing up. The exhaust... well that's just an excuse to get a custom set-up

 

how much is that paint a can? where you get it?

Ya this summer is when alot of my Mods will come.

 

It's only a couple of bucks. The reason I did engine paint, is because it is hi temp, so there is no way that anything is going to be able to get through it. I didn't want rust. The Por-15 stuff is a very good product from the reviews that I have read, however to me, until the day where I can get the cab and bed lifted off the chassis to do some serious painting and protection, I am perfectly fine with my method and saving some serious $$. I feel that it is more durable than the rustoleum regular spray. I believe the engine paint I got was made my rustoleum.

 

I have the same issues and have never really noticed until today when I pulled the vallance back under the front radiator. The frame that holds the bottom of the cooler was rusted through and dropped about a 1/2 inch allowing the cooler lines to rub and create a leak. What a mess I've got on my hands.

 

Ok cool. ya im with ya until i lift it its just guna be a pita to try and put that stuff on under there.
