camarosrus
My 73 Camaro project is 96% rust free from Western WA State.
Car built in Norwood,OH and body shell was submerged in TANK
of Red Oxide colored ???? primer.
Only OEM Undercoat was in Rear Wheel House. I'm assuming this
car was dealer undercoated with light sporadic areas sprayed but not
entire everything.
Anyway I used diesel to soften and elec heat gun with wire brush and
putty knife to loosen majority of UC. With Body mounted on Rotator
I was able to preesure wash (4000psi) 95% of undercoat from bottom
of body shell
My sand blasting vendor would not blast this body's underfloor as he
want to contaminate his sand and soil other metal parts when he recycles
his sand.
Now Im spending ALOT of hours using mineral spirits, blue paper towels
power wire cups, power scotchbrite, and anything eveything to clean bottom
of this shell.
I'm worried that I'll have adhesion issues with the SPI black epoxy primer I have
for this project. Have YOU ever performed similar cleaning work ???
I'm also thinking to use UPOL Raptor in rear wheel house (now red oxide OEM )
and bottom (side down) of rocker panels....
