dabuzz 1,962 Report post Posted July 31, 2019 Any tips on removing rust worm properly? Roof of car has a number of spots with worm in it, have used orbital scotch disc on some of the areas so it looks shiny then hit with Brunox But I really want to know if there is more I can do, don t really want it coming back tracking again in the future Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nominal 47,236 Report post Posted August 1, 2019 Paging @Spencer I put a lot of effort into this on the roof of my wagon, including sanding, wire brushing, metal prep (phosphoric acid) and undiluted hydrochloric acid (concrete etch type) multiple times. Still had some black spots/pits after all that so I just etch primed it and carried on. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabuzz 1,962 Report post Posted August 1, 2019 interesting, I'm thinking of maybe spot blasting (lightly) with some garnet, hit again with brunox, then cross fingers and epoxy. Be good to hear what the experts say though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Multiple passes with phosphoric acid/scotch bright/prepsol and had pitting.. Was black from the acid so I made sure it was very dry and epoxied it... Hasn't come back yet. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the method, phosphoric acid and scotch brite, then epoxy. Don’t use single stage rust treatment paints they don’t have very good adhesion compared to acid wash then 2 part epoxy primer. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
