My 1994 F150 XLT sat in a driveway for over a year, and in the process the undercarriage became covered with rust. Nothing down there seems destroyed, but everything has a yucky brown rusty layer on it. Whats the most inexpensive way for me to clean out the rust and somehow coat everything down there for a decent fix? I'm just a kid, I dont have the money to bring it in and have a shop sandblast it etc or whatever! Please help me out!

 

I heard of this paint called POR-15. Do a search in Yahoo. I think you have to order it online if you can't find it in the auto shop or hardware store. You can paint over the rust and it turns it into something else. Its good if you have a rusty frame. Another suggestion is to get a rust remover from the autoshop, crawl under the truck and clean it yourself. Its a long and tedious job and you have to be careful cuz the rust remover has phosphoric acid, which should not come in contact with skin or be ingested. Then spray the cleaned out parts with undercoating, which you can also get from the auto shop for $5.00. That's what I did.

 

thanks for the suggestion! This looks like exactly what I need. www.por15.com has everything I need for this project..Its gonna be a long time on my back under there, but worth it!
