Benno Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 How careful do I need to be with paint stripper and seams? I am planning on paint stripping (clean off with water), treating with phosphoric acid (wash off with water), rubbing back with scotch-brite/prepsol then painting with 2K epoxy primer. I was reading some threads online that recommended maintaining min 20mm from any seams to stop the stripper tracking. Provided I wash the stripper off carefully with water, is this something I need to be concerned with? How about with the phosphoric acid, do I need to do similar with this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I would be wary, tape them up or something and then use mechanical means to remove rust and paint around the seams. You are using the easy/good method for at home paint removal, works great for big flat areas but usually you need to throw the grinder or sand blaster etc into the mix for some areas you cant really wash away the stripper and acid. I have cracked open seals where phosphoric acid has been used and as you cannot really flush it out you get this white powder build up which seems to promote more rust as the acid is never neutralised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Can you prep and seam seal the areas you'll be working on? Capillary action between layers means shit will get drawn in further than you'll ever be able to clean out. Might be able to get seam sealer that is solvent resistance and so would stand up to the rest of your work. You'd still need to be super careful around the seams though.

I'm starting off with prepping and painting the bonnet. It's easy to get to and will hopefully be easy enough to spot if there is any returning rust. I'm planning on carefully taping off the seam at the front giving myself around 20mm to the seam. Is seam sealer paint stripper resistant? I have some turgostrip from RJP, it's pretty powerful stuff.

Bling Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I haven't looked into it TBH, but the seam sealers should say what they will withstand. The likes of brake fluid and the likes, they seem pretty hardy but you'd want to check all specs. It was mainly as a precaution to stop any chance of stripper getting in there, or water for that matter. If you can exclude that 20mm area from being affected that is probably the best bet. Is the current paint that bad you need to paint strip all areas? I'm prepping a few areas, but if the paint holds after giving it a good going over, i'm going to leave it as is. 99% of my rust repairs have been due to moisture getting between panels in seams. So i'll just be encasing all mine (either epoxy primer or fish oil (forget the non fish option name currently) as I repair them and not treating seams with any chemicals / acids at all. The oil will be for all areas I can't get into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHarry Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I'd doubt any seam sealer would stand up to paint stripper. Not much does. Even double layer latex gloves give up in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 2 part stuff will handle it pretty well, but not really the order of things to seal it up first. Just don't get any shit in there, not rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the clear is put on before the enamel is cured, otherwise it will need keying up and the scratches will be visible under the clear. You can usually get a nice gloss off the gun so shouldn't need clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 What's the go to for painting suspension parts, diffs ect? Its only for a 4wd but I've got everything apart so thought I'd give a clean up and a blackening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHarry Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 At work we use lecher black epoxy. Sticks to anything. Parts still needs to be cleaned and prepped properly. Fairly durable finish. But scratches easily. For a really durable finish we top coat with glasurit 2k black . Often semigloss or satin. But just a couple good coats of lechler black epoxy would be more than sufficient for a 4x4. Has a semi gloss finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, using emery or some other way to level the surface? As far as I know, to apply epoxy is not enough to simply degrease. Many still upload photos before painting on Instagram, such as, look, followers, how easy it is, but in fact it takes a long time to “dance” with this matter. UPD: Enrage these "artists" who buy Instagram followers and do not represent anything, do everything for the sake of money, this is not cool. Sorry - the cry of the soul.

WhangareiKE70 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Does anyone know where to buy something like this locally? https://www.wurthusa.com/Tools/Chemical-Delivery-Tools/Spray-Tools/EMPTY-CAN-FOR-SCHUTZ-GUN-(US-THREADS)/p/08911101 Just an empty can that screw on to an underseal/Schutz gun. Wanting to try spraying some roll on underseal that is significantly cheaper but seems to be very similar to Raptor liner. TIA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
