Atomic, How do you spray the oil/grease mix?

 

[99Yuk]

none of those places around here, do they have any places in the USA?...

Sorry about the delay. I looked on thier site, and it appears not. I wonder why? The answer is probably yes, but under a different brand name. I don't know what that brand name would be though... Sorry.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I see 13 months a registered user and no posts...Let me be the first to say .

To all the rest of the lurkers...Don't be shy! Come on out and say Hi!...In the general section..tell us about your rigs!

I didn't realize it was my first post until I had posted it. This place does have a lot good information. I usually just read and search around. I also have a pewter 99 Yukon SE.

umm i just mix the 2 together and use a brush. spraying tends to get dirty and flings all over the place. the brush worked the best on a lift.
If your into spraying it, you can use a PB blaster corrosion stop stuff they sell. it works good as well

I'm debating on doing this, another project to the list lol.

I just finished my POR undercoat over the weekend. I did the entire underside in x2 coats...used almost the entire container.

If you get this stuff on your skin, it will take days to come off...use long sleeves and assume you are going to destroy whatever you wear!!!

It dries with a really nice finish, this stuff appears to really tough...and it makes the frame look so much better.

x2!!! exactly my experiences with it I think you'll be VERY happy with it

so far it's really impressive stuff.

My A-arms look like they are factory new, trailer hitch looks great and the frame (slightly visible behind the nerf bars) looks factory new. I did however go under my truck with an air tool + wheel the week earlier, so the finish is a bit smoother then areas I simply put the paint over rough rust. I also prepped the entire frame with their prep chemical b/c they stated it helped with adhesion....and after how long it took me to do this, I loath the day I have to get back under there and paint; so any perk to keep this stuff lasting longer is big in my book.


I have no plans to sell my rig, but I know if I was buying another one and saw such a great looking frame, I would have to imagine the value goes up...no RUST!!

I POR15'd the entire frame and the body of my Jeep, and it is mint after 4 years of driving it to hell and back.
I Krowne'd the Tahoe from the year i got it and i find that it has worked as well (though not as good as POR15). However, the POR15 was once only deal though the Krown is 120 bucks every year.

Excellent thread!

I pressured washed the crap out of the underside, then sprayed everything with Walmart brand ($0.97 a can) black primer, which has held up fantastic through even pressure washing, next it will get duplicolor undercoating or bed liner depending on the funds.

Up here in new england where the road salt gets everywhere, it's impossible to stop the rust, but slowing it down is what I do, Ive been using Eastwood companies inner frame coating after getting the flaky rust off, then applying duplicolor truckbed coating. That keeps the rust to a minimum.

I have a 95 Tahoe and the underneath is pretty clean some minor surface rust here and there no holes or major rust, so with winter coming up in a few months I am thinking about getting it undercoated but I don't have a lift and don't feel like crawling under it and doing it myself so gonna get some prices from some body shops is there anything you would recommend to have them use? and gonna get the wheel wells done too, whats the best thing to do with them? or is this a bad idea? cause some people say it can accelerate rust cause it can trap moisture, maybe I am better off just washing it off every week, thanks for the help

What part of the country do you live in? If you live in the northeast I would have someone pressure wash the undercarriage then take it to Ziebart to have them undercoat it.

Connecticut, was looking on there site they got a place in MA, I am getting some body work done the end of the month the body shop is gonna clean up my wheel wells and under coat them (just minor chips and surface rust) gonna clean it up and under coat it with I think it was BMW or Mercedes forget which, under coating its indestructible, cause my frame is solid just minor surface rust no rot and the floors are solid not rust at all, I pretty much was it a few times a week during the winter and it shows, just debating what I wanna do with the frame either gonna have a shop clean it up and paint it or I will do it myself

I just had Ziebart completely coat both sides of my frame plus all the sheetmetal underneath with undercoating.
