Spending this beautiful afternoon after work wrenching on the Jeep. I have to take the rock rails off...I just noticed there's rust coming through all over the passenger side rail and some on the driver's side too. FML! I think I'll take them to a pro to get stripped and covered properly...I thought I'd done a rather nice job of prep and paint but I guess not.

Maybe I let them sit too long in the garage before getting to them. Maybe it was the paint I used. I had them down to shiny bare metal, cleaned them with Acetone then sprayed them with 4 coats per the rattle can instructions. I don't think I missed anything.

What's the rust stopping paint called...por 15 or something...maybe that's what I need. Considering powder coating too. I have a zeibart near my house...maybe rhinoline them. Right now I just want to get them off and slow/stop the damage.

Personally I would never powdercoat or LineX/ Rhinoline them. If you use them at all one little nick and then the water gets under there and will start to eat away. Paint is way better in the long run.

What do you think....Maaco? LOL

Rust-oleum Hammered paint works about the best, easy touch up if it does get scratched

Megalos · **Posted:** Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:19 pm

Got them off in about 15 minutes. Much easier to take them off than put them on.

Mines coming off in the spring, they are bad, but come spring front and rear bumpers, rails etc all get bead blasted and redone

Once the rust has started it is difficult or should I say costly to stop it. If there is rust coming through like ya say I would have them blasted then right away prep and repaint using a rust block primer. Prep and primer keeps rust away. :JEEPIN:

So he tore apart the engine looking for a vacuum line?
Hey Larry I know of a SBF we can drop in there this weekend if ya want :ROTFL:

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Feb 01, 2012 10:00 am

Nah, he had another small issue last evening that we needed to take care of so he could continue to move forward

I'll let Larry tell the story :ROTFL:

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Feb 01, 2012 12:06 pm

Doesn't sound like Larry will be making the trip all the way down to my place on Saturday. He seems to think he would rather go to Michigan and spend time with his boss than with us :shock:

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Feb 01, 2012 1:25 pm

Always nice to get a PM saying you have a shipment weighing 25 lbs coming from Colorado !!! :BANANA:

Megalos · **Posted:** Wed Feb 01, 2012 4:16 pm

Got an estimate from a media blasting company here in cbus. Working from a picture, they estimate 1-2 hours at $60 per hour. Unfortunately, they are the only place located somewhat conveniently for me. Anyone know if this estimate sounds fair?
