Crawled under the coach this weekend to undercoat all the framing and braces from future rusting. I found this useful on previous campers so I figured it'd apply to a motorized unit as well. Found quite a bit of surface rust on all the underside where the frame was extended and other tid-bits. Coated with RustOleum Rust Transformer on Saturday all the spots that had surface rust. Finished up today with RustOleum Rust Stop black semi-gloss. Looks great, protected from future rust, and converted any existing rust!
I know it seems anal but I want this thing to last!
I can't seem to find RustOleum Rust Stop. Could the product be RustOleum Stop Rust? They claim it can be sprayed directly over rust. Then why use Rust Transformer? I'll have to buy it by the case. My rig must have spent some time in a few feet of water.:M
If it was my rig, I would use Rust Mort. I have used this product on several restorations I have done and it works really well.(I have use a number of other products too that don't match up even close to this product, hence, why I am recomending it)
*If you are going to go through the effort, might as well use a proven hardcore product that will get deep into the metal and do what it is supposed to do. Rust that you see is the product of oxidation(whats left over....) and what you are trying to "kill" is at the surface level of the metal underneath all that you can see visually.
-Rust Mort will creep deep into everything and stop any further progress. Even the worst rusty crustation of rust will be "locked" when you use Rust Mort.(Google it for more info)
There are alot of products out there that you can spray on that treat the surface that you can see, but they don't seep paste the outer layers very well and pretty much, you are just covering over rust.
