Been watching to many youtube vids.
FFS, have you ground a hole through the diff housing?Well finally started today but think I got a bit Carried away with myself, Only wanted to get rid of the rust areas. Was using wire brush at first on grinder not making much progress so put a disc on and it was like as if I was painting it silver.
How the hell do I get into all the nooks and crannys??
Not Yet but if Id kept going think I would have gone right through.FFS, have you ground a hole through the diff housing?
So, my suggestion of Fertan and wire brush didn't take hold.Not Yet but if Id kept going think I would have gone right through.
I looked at Fertan and others, theres to many to choose from. for instance whats the difference in these apart from price.So, my suggestion of Fertan and wire brush didn't take hold. thers
There's some right awkward nooks and crannies on the axles and wheel assemblies. I'd be tempted to use Fertan and a few different sized wire wheels.
Unless, you take them to get shot blasted
It only took about 5 minuets but I think your right need to slow down a bit. and do it right .
The first difference is that both of them aren't Fertan. Second difference is that they are both primers that claim to be rust inhibitors.
+1 on that
OK Where's the cheapest place to buy Fertan ?does it act as a primer to paint over?
Not sure, have a hunt about on ebay and Amazon? It's not cheap, but goes a long way.
I've had good success with it. As Disco1BFG says, follow the instructions. I found the key thing was to ensure surfaces were degreased properly. Buy some Upol, Panel Wipe, or other type of oil/grease removing solvent.I buy fertan off fleabay - it's about £30 for a litre .... Read the instructions on the Fertan site
www.fertan.co.uk
If done properly, it kills rust completely - and IMHO, the best bit is that it uses water to do so .... oh the irony
Overpaint with a good solvent based primer (tractol, for example also on the bay of fleas) and wear a mask, then topcoat with solvent based too. IME, forget the water based paints.
Did you de-grease it?
Yes sprayed and wiped down, wouldn't of if I had not seen it on one of the Land Rover Videos.
