Agage1 83 #1 Posted May 22, 2015 I was wondering if anyone knew of a product to put on bare metal that would inhibit rust but not have an effect on paint. I've been slowly stripping sheet metal on my 857 project but do to my work schedule I've been limited to small periods of time here and there. I bought some expensive paint for thus project last year and I'd like to spray it all at once and not piece by piece. My problem is that im noticing that some of the pieces I've already prepped are starting to develop a little surface rust. If anybody knows of anything to treat the already prepped parts to avoid rust I'd appreciate it. It will prevent me from having to do things multiple times. Thanks and hope everyone enjoys their memorial day weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agage1 83 #3 Posted May 22, 2015 Can you paint right over it or do you have remove it first. Do you know if Napa or someone like that carries an equivalent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,141 #4 Posted May 22, 2015 You probably could paint right over it... but, I'd hit it with a scotch brite first, and then wipe it down with a cleaner/degreaser right before painting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,639 #5 Posted May 22, 2015 That is an acid wash same as Metal Prep. Good stuff. Wipe it on. Use a metal cleaner like Napa Final Wash. Prime and paint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
