Brock-Lee Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Ive used softseal on shafts and shit to stop it going back and has worked mint. Might be a go but you'd want to clean/degrease the fuck out of the panel once you have done, its fairly messy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Just prime it / paint it with anything you have lying round. Don't put any sort of oil or grease or wax on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 por-15 metal ready. etchs zinc phosphate into the surface (supposed to be good for your paint to stick to also), if you treat with that and keep it dry it wont rust. wd40 etc. isnt a great idea if you are going to paint it later as you have to clean all the oily shit off which can be shitty if its dries and goes all gummy (fish oil is terrible for that, although it also stops stuff rusting very effectively) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 or crc zinc-it, possibly reverses any little bits of oxidation on the surface? cant/shouldn't be painted over as its not very adhesive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwlee Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I good product I have used is Epiphos, which is made by Tergo Industries in Auckland. Another good product is Kephos, but can be difficult to obtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
