Hey welcome back to the channel this video I'll be showing you how I get rid of my rust on the frame of my FJ Cruiser. Take a look. Black, keep the Toyota review about the Chotec. Switching over to the 787. So this is what it looks like before I started. Look this project you can see that rust. It's surface rust it's not deep but it's rust and it's the beginning and if I'm going to hold down to the FJ for a while, the might as well do it. Yeah it looks nasty it looks but it's it's just surface rust not too harmful but you know what a lot of people in the comments we're writing we're commenting about it and I said I have extra time off and it's not too expensive so I might as well do it you know preserve it and prevent it from getting any worse over the years. Of course if you have a lift you're on lifted at a shop you can lift a truck and do all four at once that would be the proper way the fastest way but this is the way I do it in my garage at home. I have time so I do one wheel of bait at a time just lift that side up each quarter of the truck takes about an hour an hour and a half but you need to wait 24 hours for the converter the rust converter to dry up before you can paint it. So the first step will be to get rid of this rust tapping it with the hammer or a small mallet or anything metal. Of course I cleaned the day before cleaned all the grease off with water and soap. As you can see surface rust is coming off that's a part we want to get off so that can paint under that coat any paint you put on the rust itself on these chips won't seal the whole area so we've got to make sure to clean all of these little chips and pieces of rust. Look at all the rust chips getting a good amount off so I guess the scaling with the mallet or the hammer is working. It seems like the most rust is forming around the welds and of course the lower part the swing arm. That's the next step. Clean everything up all the rust all the residue with I don't know a wire brush or drill with a wire brush head and just get in there to all. Okay the next step is going to be to convert the rust into a black paint primer and for that I'm using Coral Seal. The rust converting metal primer I picked this up on Amazon and it was like I think $19 something like that. You can find a link down by the description. I've seen some YouTube reviews of this and it's a pretty good converter so Amazon you know. Well it's pretty much a white kind of paint. It smells like vinegar I'm sure it's based on vinegar and some other chemical and pretty much what it does once you apply it and it dries up it turns black. I'll use a smaller brush for the nooks and crannies. You can see that as you apply it it comes on. It starts white it comes on white and then it turns purple I guess it's starting the chemical reaction and you need to let it cure. It takes 24 hours and that's when you can paint it. That will be the last step. I don't care too much to do a nice job here just apply it any old places because once it's cured I'm going to paint that with the final coat so I just want to make sure that I get all all the rust covered. The next step. It's what it looks like 25 hours later after the paint is the rust converter has cured has dried up everything is black all the rust stains the rust is black now sealed and next step is going to be actually to put the top coat of the undercarriage paint that came out really nice. Of course these things like that are just mud guards and stuff like that I didn't bother it's no point I just cared about the chassis and the swing arm. Last step 24 hours later is spring the undercoating in this case I used Rustolium I picked it up at the local AutoZone but definitely you can buy things like that at on Amazon and they're different kinds and there are a lot of videos out there comparing the undercoating truthfully I don't see a very big difference between them just picked it up. I'm going to use the I bought four of them so I'm going to use each one of these on a quarter of the truck before I put the undercoat of course I'm going to tape up the area and protect so I don't get paint all over the shocks the spring and stuff like that and any rubberized or seal so I taped up all the parts that I don't want to get any paint on the shocks the springs and any rubber or seal that there's absolutely no need to protect and there's no need for to add any paint weight on it or anything so just taped it up and now I'm going to start spray painting it. so that should do it two hours later now that's what it looks like after it's dry cured and without the tape and that's the final result pretty nice if you compare it to what it was before of course I didn't touch the rotors or anything just a chassis so that's it I'm wrapping up this video thank you for watching got two out of the four uh don't thank you for watching these are the two wheels that's it I just finished uh two well wheels out of the four I'm not going to wait with this video they're going to post it and finish off the two other wheels thank you for watching
