The best solution is what the military has been doing since ww1. RP-342! It's a wx base cosmoline and can be found on amazon. It's superior to paint in every way for preventing rust and is so effective it was designed to be use on bare steel. That's why you can pop open a crate of ww2 rifles and find zero rust. Frame paint is good bt a pinhole is all I takes to negate its protections and RP-342 WILLMSELF SEAL and prevents water and salts from getting under it even if a spot is missed.
@@simd510 I have no experience with the products containing cosmoline. Though I have never seen or heard a bad story about it. So, you have products containing cosmoline , there's fluid film, woolwax and pb blaster. They each will protect equally well. They each really do a great job. Some people complain about the smell of fluid film but it is extremely easy to apply. Woolwax is about the most difficult to apply and should be lightly warmed up to apply. Then there's pb blaster. Almost as easy to apply as fluid film and doesn't smell. It's pretty easy to spray.
Fluid film or oil based undercoatings are great for corrosion protection. In this case you should try Chassis Saver by magnet paints, its awesome if the chassis is prepped properly. Rubber undercoating traps moisture
Ive been trying to figure out the best way to prevent further rust and have landed on Fluid film... but seeing this chassis saver makes me wonder... which would you recommend for someone in Virginia w/an 04 and some fairly heavy surface rust?
Zinc. nickel . chrome.anodize. when I worked at the electro plating company I figured out nothing beats it's nothing . We would electro plate everything then paint it. Bike's quads Jeep's Harley's you name it.
Fluid film is the best option even the hard reach spots that still have rubbized undercoating will soften up after a few weeks when fluod film is sprayed over those areas. After a month in warm temps the rubber mixed with fluid film will scape off easy
That needle scaler is tiny compared to the ones we use in the navy. When you get a big boy it’s really satisfying busting up some rust. We also call them needle guns in the navy.
Same thing here. I'm in the merchant navy and we use much bigger, same nickname. It's basically "rust busting" even how they used to do it (by hand) back in the day on tallships. Good video though! I've got a late 99 7.3 and was already planning to do something like this in the summer. I would probably have used the cheap oil or canned rubber shit though, thanks for the tip
YES YES YES ! An old school ryan video , with just him doing his thing , without all the nonsense going on in the back ground ,, loved this video this is why we all come to watch these videos ,,, great video Ryan!
Sounds like is party time… Just kidding bro. I don’t know your situation (but usually everything works out for the best). Stay strong (hint: freedom is amazing )… 😂😂😖
Eastwood is good stuff. Another good rust converter is Ospho. Another good frame paint is Chassis Saver by Monstaliner. Definitely don't undercoat with tar or rubber or spray paint. Those seal in the rust and the frame rots from the inside out. Surface Shield is a non-hardening lanolin based spray coating that prevents rust. Spray inside and outside the box frame. I spray everything under the vehicle except brake rotors and exhaust systems. It's also great to spray inside doors and rocker panels but make sure the door weep holes remain open. Touch up next year and every other year after that. Don't pressure wash under the truck. Spring rains will wash away the salt deposits on the outside of the Surface Shield that never make it to the frame. Surface Shield is also the best anti-corrosion treatment I've found for battery terminals.
just went through 3 cases of Woolwax on a 2007 civic, a 2018 camry, and a 2005 highlander, and still gonna order more....I'm getting every damn nook, cranny, and cavity so help me God. F-ing rust!
@@johnathanpratt944 negative... it can crack and allow moisture under and you'll never know. I've read plenty of people frustrated they followed all the prep and then it didn't adhere. Stay with goo that creeps and cuts off oxygen...and apply annually early Fall when it is still warm out so the material flows out the spray can and won't clog up.
There's a guy here on YT that did a comparison of undercoat, and rust converters that didn't think much of Eastwood and suggested another product that had an acid etch to it that actually converted the rust. The site is Repair Geek and I thought he did a good job with his testing. Here in New England , it's a bear to keep things rust-free. My F350 7.3 got eaten alive by salt.
If needle scaler quits working you’ve rounded over your needles. I took mine out and put a square corner back on them with a flap wheel and it was like new again
Rubberized undercoat is very good BUT it’s only effective when there is absolutely no moisture, dirt, rust etc on the surface. I would only put it on a brand new cars or a very, very well prepped surfaces like e.g during/after a restoration. But for my taste I would always choose a regular chassis paint and then wax or oil coat the undercarriage. Pressure wash it once after the winter and coat it again. I prefer having the surface smooth so the dirt have harder time sticking to the surface and it’s easier to clean then the rough texture of the rubberised undercoat paint.
I used a rattle can of rubberized paintable undercoating on a utility trailed frame. It became a rust magnet and it never saw rain. Had to scrape it all off and start over.
I always used farm and implement paint, usually rustoleum cut 50/50. Get the scale off, and give it time to seep in, suggest at least 74F at night with low humidity ( with fans running ), if not using heaters lol. Always rustoleum rust reformer nowadays first now here and there, that frame will need a ton of it (not a fan of water based, metal loves oil) lol. And invest of a set of PPG nozzles. Like 60 bux. It does a good job, check rust every month or 2 and touch up. In a year or so wont see any usually. Back in the day i use used motor oil, trans fluid, and kerosene with a dash of tide lol. Always tide on the cooling system. It worked ok.
I did a frame on a f-250 last week , with only a angle grinder and a wire brush , took 2 days and was a pain in the a$$ but it was definitely worth the time in the long run

Guys I live in the Northeast where there's plenty of salt on the roads please listen to me closely... Pressure wash underneath your truck and spray everything with either fluid film, lanolin or blaster surface protectant believe me the rust will stop.. I live in Northeast New York I know what rust is since I've been using lanolin fluid Film. The rust has come to a complete halt paint does not work it holds the moisture next to the metal... Feel free to inbox me I'll show you plenty of photos
Exactly! Ceramic paint might be great for a street queen with a chip and some Mexican wheels but nothing is beating spraying it with fluid film or NH oil.... You're not getting that paint into where it needs to be
why powdercoat. a frame flex, powdercoat not that much, and if you have chip its hard to do decent touchup. epoxy is better. thanks to share for rust converter tho, ive never seen that before !
Well if you wanna do it the hard way that’s fine I’ve been restoring vehicles for years I appreciate your hard work and dedication to descaling a frame but there’s a much easier way and when you’re done there’s nothing left on it hot water sandblasting at 4000 psi then repeat Hot water sandblasting works much better I used to do it the way you guys did it then I discovered this I threw my air scaler away just saying not judging but try it But I definitely do agree with you on the rubberized undercoat it’s garbage I’m in Canada and we deal with salt shit but try the hot water Sam blasting it makes life so much easier and it doesn’t hurt anything been doing it now for four years with great results
I know that this is an older video, but for other people to refrence, a gloss paint will actually last longer than a matte paint due to its chemical composition, not saying it'll look 100% but it will look better for longer.
I spray paint my car and truck chassis and floorboards and frame, including the underside of my truck bed with rust olem black paint. Helps keep the underside of my car and truck protected when they put road salts and chemicals on the roads. That extra protection sure does help a lot.
I use Hammerrite spray on my crown Vic's frame after sanding. Roadsalt in the winter here in Norway. Not good for the brakeparts. Has replaced the rotors too. Has not used any Fluidfilm. Can not have some underflush. Must recoat the fluidfilm about every year.

Do a coil swap on the front and take out those leaf springs. I got an 04 Excursion and it’s got the leafs on the front and it’s ugly. The coil can be color matched nicely too
We undercoat everything where I work..hot rods only..under the car or cab and bed unless there is wood on the bed floor ..under inner fenders inside the cab or car..raptor liner and sometimes SEM (WHICH IS NOT SO GREAT) BUT hardened coatings are great when done right and only powder frames but we have painted some show frames like bagged trucks. Powder is where it's at..rubberized is garbage and shouldn't be used period on anything PERIOD!
Should just pull the cab at this point and do it right the first time. That way you take care of all the rust on the frame and paint it to prevent it from rusting again.
Question. When using this rust converter, if you overspray on to something, lets use a shock as an example, that has no rust, will it stain or anything to that shock?

This is not correct and you aware totally wrong. If it was paint, it would have done the same things. Painting over rust is the issue. Undercoat works just as good as paint or better. It is rubberised on like paint that will chip by rocks etc. What this person lay have done and what not to do is undercoating or painting over rust. I’ve gotten awesome results by first removing the rust, then priming with a good rust primer, then two thin coast of rubberised undercoat. This takes patience and time.

My truck was flaged for a frame replacement...(10 YEARS OLD) When inspection by dealership...THEY WERE AMAZED and said NO REPLACEMENT REQUIRED.... then they asked ..."who did the undercoating on your vehicle" I DO ALL MY UNDERCOATING...it's an 55 year old recipe 😀
Stacked blocks are a big no no, should be against DOT because it is unsafe, my Suburban had 2" blocks, it kept busting them, I ended up replacing the springs going with a 6" lift and made my own ladder bars from square tubing, never another issue. I have a van now, easier transportation in my situation, has rust issues, having the passenger rocker completely replaced, surface rust on the frame, would love to sand blast it, but I just can't afford it.
Great Choice on the Eastwood Surface Prep Tool, and Eastwood Products. I went with a portable sandblaster, full POR kit with the Top Coat, and Eastwoods internal frame coating. Powder coated the leaf springs in Red to match my Rancho Suspension Lift Kit.
I still have to redo the wiring harnesses; the OEM plastic wring loom is crap. You can find dried up salt inside, so I'll go with the Painless Performance Fabric Wiring looms
Hello great video. I was wondering if you put that after you sprayed the whole truck with the rust remover did you have to wipe that stuff off before you spray painted it?
I always used oil base tar undercoat. They use to sell it as sound deadner, dirt sticks to it thou. On a hot day it gets tacky like the blacktop road...
Those types of products for rust converters are a phosphate solution, they convert iron oxide to iron phosphate chemically. Wonderful products and amazing for restoration work of all kinds.
I’m so glad I will never have to worry about rust from being in California but when I go to college I hope I don’t have to worry about my old dodge getting horrible rust 🙏
An awesome paint for frames and under body is two part swimming pool epoxy it's made to last year's in direct sunlight and in direct contact with corrosive chlorine it lasts forever under a vehicle out of direct sunlight I use an industrial zinc etching primer then spray it with the epoxy a sandblaster won't even take it off once it's cured

This video is one of the best video in a while no nonsense in the back just Ryan doing his thing 💯💯
Have you tried POR 15 RUST CONVERTER?
How much for those wheels? If your not keeps them.
I’m so glad I will never have to worry about rust from being in California but when I go to college I hope I don’t have to worry about my old dodge getting horrible rust 🙏
wax or oil are also good because they actively displace water and penetrate around bolts, they sure make it nasty to work on though.
Love the build. You should the opposite of 6.7 lime. Do the body purple with green accents
What is the reason for power washing the frame with bare metal you would just create more surface rust.
If you have a sand blaster why are you not using it?
Good video bro these are the kinds of videos we wanna see where it’s just you working on the new projects and builds no other distractions
Ayyy what lug are those rims and will you sell them ??
They are 8x170 lug pattern
Loving this build brother!
I definitely don’t miss when I wire wheeled my first gens entire frame
can you use this stuff on suspension parts too?
Yes
Does not matter as long as you use a metal etching primer/ rust enhibter primer.
It seems that the chassis receiived no epixy primer during chassis coating is applied.
i love that pretty much no one builds this year of ford trucks but your just built diffrent 😂
He just builds different
An awesome paint for frames and under body is two part swimming pool epoxy it's made to last year's in direct sunlight and in direct contact with corrosive chlorine it lasts forever under a vehicle out of direct sunlight I use an industrial zinc etching primer then spray it with the epoxy a sandblaster won't even take it off once it's cured
ingersol rand makes a needle scaler its a bit bigger but its 5x better then the small one you have
