Hi all,
I have a question that I would like to get opinions on. First, I'd like to say that I go out of my way to do everything I do, to the very best of my abilities. So, here's my question. I've stripped the engine compartment of a 68 mustang down to bare metal with a combination of selective sandblasting, paint stripper and acid. Everything is clean and ready for epoxy primer except a small area (shock tower floor) inside the shock towers. Water collects on the sock tower floors and rusts them pretty good. The good thing is the shock towers on mustangs are made of heavy gauge steal. I've removed as much rust on the shock tower floors as I care to and am left with very stable rust on solid metal. To remove anymore rust would weaken the shock tower and be counterproductive in my opinion. What I planned to do at this point is use rust converter on the rust that's left on shock tower floors and then go over that with spi epoxy primer. But, I quickly realized that Barry forbids using rust converter under spi epoxy primer. What I'm going to do now is use Rust-Oleum rusty metal primer inplace of the rust converter and after it fully cures go over it with spi epoxy primer. Tell me what you?
thanks
