- In this video I treat the rear crossmember of my Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 to a nice new coat of paint. A lot of grinding was required before painting. Watch this to see each step it takes to make a terribly looking crossmember perfect again!
Such a massive difference. Really great job and looks like new. And a great way to take your mind off the rust all over the rest of the chassis!
Can’t believe how good it looks when finished very professional
Thanks! Really happy with the result!
@@Td5Adventures A lot of quality prep work!
What an awesome result, all Defender crossmembers should look like this one :-D
Thank you!!😊 Yeah, it looks amazing now!!
I think this is a nice guide to how to do this with the crossmember in situ. Looking forward to following this when the weather is better here. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Good luck with your project👌🏼
You have made a really nice job with the cross member it looks a professional job please keep doing your video’s
I'd be happy with that!
Great job! I’m about to do this and this is a perfect guide 👍
Thank you and good luck!
Great job man well done!!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic job. Just need to replace those tub bolts now!
Thanks! Yes, that would've finished it off together with some body work.
Great job! I am about to tackle that myself for my 90!
Thank you and good luck with that!😊
I said i would tackle it 2 years ago, but i lied to myself. Meanwhile, my crossmember developed a nasty rot on the bottom, so besides a thorough paint job, now i also have to do welding. Point is: never postpone maintenance on an old Defender. How is your paint job holdin’ up in your weather 2 years in?
Good job mate.
I LL doing the same work on my def.
Thanks, good luck to you!
Incredible job! Also shows that we need to look at other tell tale signs of bad rust other than just an obviously cancerous rear cross member 😅
Thanks!! Can't get rid of rust unfortunately
Great video!! Very useful, can you please tell us what product did you use, or the specific composition of it? Specially for the orange primer it seems to work really really good!!
Thanks, glad it is helpful!
I used a red rust protective primer, no particular brand so I can't tell you the specific composition unfortunately.. It is a sort of filler primer. Works really well as you saw!
Where and when did like the "Blues"? Nice job on the bumper.
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you!!
Hi, amazing job. I need to do the same to mine (although it’s a galv frame) - what specific primer and black paint can did you use? My Dad commutes to Stockholm so can get hold of Swedish products! Cheers.
Thanks!!
Oh nice with some galv👌🏻
I used Biltema products, their part numbers are: Art. 36-7419 (red primer) and Art. 36-7420 (black top coat). You can probably get cheaper stuff in any country outside Scandinavia though😅
Great job! 💪🏼 What kind of rust-converter are you using?
Thanks!!
I use Swedish products, Hagmans and Biltema. Don't think you can get them abroad😉
@@Td5Adventures Im not that far away! 😉 Both Mekonomen ans Jula sells Hagmanns. Thanks! I need to do the same to mine during the winter... 🏎💨
@@Sforbes727 oh okay awesome!!👌🏻👌🏻
thanks for the vid. did you use black matt or a semi gloss (satin)?
Thanks, hope it helped! The paint I used is sold as matt black. You can put a clear coat on it as well for extra shine if that's a preference!
@@Td5Adventures Thank you for your feedback, I like matt but a painting company that does body work for LR told me they use satin as matt goes chalky after a while... I need to do my rear and also the front bumper. :)
@@Cristo_Mario That sounds reasonable, I'd go with satin if they recommend it. Will probably be easier to wash as well 👌🏼
What rust converter did you use?
Some generic one, no brand 😅
