Alright. There are a lot of products on the market that promise to remove rust and prevent it from coming back. From reading the threads it seems the opinions on this forum are as varied as the products themselves. This thread is about making a convincing argument... or a ludicrous allegation, which ever you find appropriate. Horror stories are welcome but please limit yourselves to the chemical rust abatement theme already established. For you slow starters, here is your motivation.

I used Eastwood Rust Encapsulator on the steel frame of my SuperStalker. I was very careful about prep and application, following the guidelines to the letter. It chipped terribly after less than a year. I was so bad I completely disassembled the car to have the frame powder coated. I won't make that mistake again.

That must be nerve racking to have to disassemble a car all over again.... and then to powder coat that would be a huge project i would think. I hated getting powder coated parts from powder coaters, when i worked at a bike dealership. The powder coaters were usually monkeys about powder coating in every bolt hole as to make installation a nightmare of scraping powder coat of seating surfaces and chasing threads How much do suspect powdercoating would cost.... not including your labor |

Now that it's done (again) it is going on the market so I can pay for my next project, a 914! I actually have a VERY competent powder coater very nearby. Did the entire frame and a bunch of smaller components for $750. Required NO extra labor to clean anything. He's called "Perfection Powder Coating" and he means it!. |
