Guys should be wearing safety eye protection with those wire wheels. I had a wire go into my eye a few years back. Didn't know till several months later. Thankfully it wasn't in my line of sight, but to side. No damage thankfully! Always wear eye protection when doing any grinding or sanding. Looked really good afterwards though.
Well it does do damage your eyes swim in saline (salt) and such any kind of steel will rust almost instantly, I had the same problem occur, ( and I "was" wearing glasses) had an eye specialist pull out the embedded wire 2 days of pain later 35 years later the rust mark is still there, just off my line of sight
Thought the same thing.
Its all fun and game until you have to see an eye doctor so he could pull the rust particle off the eye. 5 visits and plenty of antibiotics later I bought 3 safety glasses to have around the house and the garage.
I've had a small piece of wood fall off my hair in the shower into my eye and embed into my eyelid. It only hurt when I closed my eye but I went to the ER because I thought it was metal since I was working with the wire brush. I've scratched my cornea before and didn't want it to happen again.
Damn, yea not very bright doing that kind of work with no eye protection.
Safety goggles because I was wearing safety glasses and a piece of wire got in my eye.
The rubberized undercoating traps moisture and rust. No matter how well you try to remove rust, there will always be little nicks in the nooks and cranny's you can't get to. When you spray rubberized coating over those spots, they trap moisture and are never allowed to dry. It's like a greenhouse for rust. So it rusts faster than normal, and worse, you don't see it because it's hidden by the black shiny undercoating. So your frame might be almost rotten trough, without being able to see it. The only time rubberized undercoating could be used successfully is on a brand brand new car that just rolled from the factory with the guarantee there is no rust in there, but I think the best thing is just to stay away from this stuff. Use a paint that reacts with rust and converts it, like the european Hammerite from AzkoNobel. Or lanolin based coatings, like fluid film.
PS: Use eye protection instead of a mask when using a wire wheel. Trust me, getting a steel wire in your eye is a lot worse than breathing in a little dust.
For me, as cracked car paint noticeable, I clean it with WD 40 and put same color sticker on it.
spot on with rubberized undercoating advice , don't use it period , ya when he was wire wheeling like 3 inches from his eyes with no protection I said that guy is stupid out loud , lol
Great info, Completely agree. To those that read but choose to Ignore this advice….you’ve been warned.
Agreed.
Two products have impressed me over the years.
The best carbon corrosion neutralizer and protectorant would be Blue Steel (accept no substitutes). It dries hard, shiny and black. On top of that, you could go with a lead-based marine primer if you choose. However, Blue Steel is sufficient. No need to wire brush however you do not want rust flakes.
The very best for new steel, with no corrosion, is a marine product with the main ingredient of super-glue (cyanoacrylates). This stuff does not come off. Silver in color. 30 years ago it cost $60 p/qrt.
@@Mark-gg6iy Im in the NE and have a frontier showing some corrosion around the fasteners. do you think it would be a viable option to soda blast fasteners then cover them with super glue? I know it sounds crazy
People love the finish product but hate the work put into it.nice job
yah for 6 months. waste of time, and probably did more harm that good in the long run. sorry to burst the bubble.
@@666dynomaxwhat kind of paint do you recommend I’m working on my 90 mustang
rubberized undercoating will let your frame rot underneath of it. Trust me.. Go for Fluid Film or Cosmoline.
Exactly two names that I'm going with after 10 years of experimenting - fluid film and cosmoline. And yeah this dude in video have not idea about rust proofing.
Yeah those are great products. I'm looking to use Gibbs brand oil first as it's a strong penetrant, and creeps well. Then I'm going to use the few bottles of Amsoils cosmoline spray I have laying around as a final coat over it.
Yeah he just ruined the jeeps frame
Yup…Or Corrosion Free/ Formula 3000
Does it have the same look afterwards? I recall using Fluid Film as a rust proofer, what if you wanted a black finished look afterwards? Any recommendations?
Omg...water blasting in the shop... wow, i like it... good job
The finished result looks amazing, I would want it on my car.
The jeep is almost new LoL let's see what happens when it's tried on a old jeep LoL
how did you pass every other comment in here lol go for it, RIP!
@@TheGuyOutdoors Good to know, thanks!
Love how you guys added the rusty water look to the frame..
Looks Clean !!! 🤘🏼 Love it
It certainly looks clean.. I'll give it that. Let's see how it looks in a year..
going to be a scaley mess, with that rubber crap flapping off in the wind. not going to work, not going to last, lot of work for no gain. wrong product on that rust bucket.
It'll be even worse than they can see because it'll be rust underneath it. People recommending this product have no clue what they're talking about.
Great video man! I'm moving to Upstate NY soon from SF. I need to undercoat the truck before my lil trip.
Turned out great
That looks amazing
Thank you so much for the video, very descriptive. How many spray cans did you use for the whole job?
BEAUTIFUL!
Looks awesome.... Thank you I'm trying that product on my trucks
Don't.
Looks awesome! Def did a good job 😎👍
Good job doh bro👑🔥looks amazing
Thank you so much 👍
Nice! I'll have to do this to my 70 monte carlo. Luckily the car has 58,000 miles and there's no rust on it so this would be a nice way to keep it safe
Maybe next time use larger wire wheels as the ones you are using are too small for the job . And maybe use a water based rust neutralizer before undercoating 👍
looks amazing
Thank you! 🤙
Great video
It took me 4 weeks to do my 05 f150. I removed the 8' bed, drop the tank.
Cleaned the frame inside and out...
Replaced parts of the frame that were rusting out with a frame repair kit from Pocono metals.
Coated everything inside and out with wool Wax Black.
Every fall I apply another coat of woolwax black. It's been 5 years now with no new rust.
Did my wife's 04 trailblazer 10 years ago with Eastwood's internal frame coating (4 coats).
Did the outside of the frame with Rust-Oleum rust reformer and three coats of rustoleum rusty metal primer over the top of that with three coats of rustoleum professional black paint. And the trailblazer is rusting apart but the F-150 has no new rust. What you doing is a waste of time. And money.
Did you grind off any existing rust to bare metal then apply wool wax or add some sort of rust stopper to it?
@@dink8898 I removed as much as I could. Wire wheel in a grinder. Wire wheels on a drill. Putty knives scrapers. Etc... Filled a 5 gallon bucket 2/3 of the way with rust after I swept the floor. On an 05 f150 there was no way to get all the metal down to bear. There was some shiny metal in between the rust here and there. It took on and off about 2 weeks... That's because of work.
I did not use any pretreat like Rust-Oleum Rust reformer.
Blew everything clean with a leaf blower, compressor and even a hand broom. Got as much dust off as I could. Then just to soak it what wool wax.... In the framing & out
@@joelung9070 Wow thanks for the quick response back. I am going to be doing to be doing the same thing like you did on my expedition but didn’t know whether to add anything on it before I applied wool wax on it or not
@Joe Lung I've spent the past 4 days underneath my 01 Ranger with a similar assortment of tools scraping rust- no air compressor but you gave me a good idea with the leafblower
looks great
Good work guys!!
Thanks Jay
Looks great dude 😎😎
Taking out the inner fender would make it perfect!
Great job!
This is amazing!!! Now where can I rent a lift? 😂😂😂
210 into it , and doing great work
What about the parts you can't see, like the other side of the skid plates 😂
Does it have a oily or waxy feel? Will dirt and mud clean off of it easy? Every other undercoating I have used, dirt sticks to and turns brown.
Any updates? Did Rust Come back ? Thanks great video
Great Job guys. question how much can did you used for this project ?
A needle scaler works good on the uneven surfaces in corners around brackets etc...almost like sandblasting. The rubberized stuff doesn't hold up. It really needs a good paint coating.
Thank you for that. We have incorporated needle scalers into our process now. Thank you
Nice work.
Thank you !
Great video - I like the detailed steps! I would like to know how long the Rust-Oleum Professional Grade Rubberized Undercoating spray will last? Do you need to re-apply each year, or will it last for several years?
How is it holding one year later? Is the rust getting back? What would you say to those who say that rubberized paints trap water underneath? Thanks!
Looks good. Worst thing you can do in the rust belt. Will trap moisture and accelerate rust.
Very nice thanks
I tried this product on my truck frame and it came out perfect. Thank you!
How has it been?
@Owen Zahradka Why do you say that ?
Madtv how does it look now?
how does it look now? any rusting visible now. Please enlighten us. Thanks in advance
Great business idea.
Excelentt job
thank you!
Looks great I’m from Massachusetts I want to do my tundra frame
It looks nice on the surface. But what about all the frame and body holes? prevent it from rusting from the inside out.
Some people wax them inside. There is special procedure and products for that.
People also wax inside their doors etc.
Nothing and it WILL rust from the inside out. He only did half the job.
Either way this “rust proofing” he did isn’t rust proofing anything. He just sealed the rust underneath that paint which makes it worse… it will rust faster now
@@YT-User1013 not really
Cool. That little wire wheel you are using is a little different than most I've seen on an angle grinder. Looks good for getting into small places. What is that?
It looked like an air drill with a wire wheel on it
Glad to see you sanded it down. BIG job and, of course, you can never get it all without stripping the jeep down to the frame - and then the interior of the frame would still be vulnerable. Nice job though. It will last a lot longer than it would have otherwise.
no point putting that much work in unless its a classic car your grandpa left you or a multi million dollar car.
@@eddwinnasnot even that much work 💀 if you have a lift a quick day job and it can add that much more life to your car bozo. And if you had a million dollar car that was rusted that bad your doing something wrong
@@dylansmith697 You're smokin' some serious shit man..
No glasses as you wire wheel, very smart I will give it a try.
Did you use any detergent in the water with the pressure washing?
Love the mask and no eye protection while sanding. LOL
sanding and using wire wheel without eye protection... holy shit thats pure stupidity
He is protected from an unvaccinated car. That's most important thing because the car can carry covid.
@@Jamarkus_Delvonte I'm pretty sure the mask is so he doesn't breathe metal flakes
@@cameronrobertson9518 metal flakes that contain covid.
@@Jamarkus_Delvonte ahahahahahah
Wish we could get a update on this jeep how it looks after one winter
Safety squint for the win 👌🏻
Good info we have a F250 to do, great video,
Right on!
How long does it last before it has to be re applied?
I used a leaf blower to help dry the under side...works well.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice, did any of the overspray go to the body?
How many cans did you use roughly? And how many coats did you lay down? Lastly is primer needed in any of this
Damn this looks good. I wish I had a lift to use. I’d like to undercoat my ‘11 Tacoma. It’s a beautiful truck and a fresh cost of paint underneath would seal the deal.
got rid of all 3 of my tacomas, 2007, 2012 and 2015 TRD offroad models. I am done with them, all rusted and they all had the frames from the same batch that were made by Dana Corp. Toyota dropped the ball on QUALITY.
@@dundeeecroc luckily mine just has some minor surface rust but I have seen some pretty bad ones.
@@dundeeecroc used tacomas are selling for above $40k with 25k+miles.
New ones are in the $50k-$60k range
Don't use rubberized undercoating.
I used rustolium rust reformer after cleaning my floorboards and frame sections of my wagoneer, 3-4 coats 6 years later and nothing has come back, my frame and floor was way worse as far as coverage of rust goes too. some sections were chunky, and had to be bashed with a hammer like 100 times to get the chunks off,the thin sections i cut out and welded new steel.
Should've hit it with Ospho (phosphoric acid). It changes iron oxide/rust to iron phosphate, then prime & paint to seal & protect. Rubberize undercoat after if you want.
Can I paint over my existing factory coating if it’s not that bad but could use a touch up??
Nice !!
Nice !
Nice
What was done to mitigate the rust inside the frame? If you see rust on the outside, there is likely an equivalent amount on the inside. I do think your treatment will slow the rusting process, but it will eventually rust from the inside out unless that is addressed. Did you use a borescope to check the interior of the frame?
Even if there is rust on the inside frame how is he supposed to get to it?
@@grimakastatik they would general blow it out a bit and spray a non hardening penetrating oil inside
Bullshit.
Would using a sand blaster with the power washer be a bad idea if you are carefull?
Did you to the drive shaft and the coupler to the axel?
Cosmetic only. 40 year ASE Master Mechanic from Miichigan. Did a stint at Ziebart! Ignored the real concern of rust which was inside the frame rails and other components. All this did was seal up the moisture on inside surfaces to accelerate the rust. Good for a pretty quick sale, bad for longevity.
I had to fast forward when I saw wire brushing the frame without safety glasses. Otherwise, good job.
Same with me after working at an electrical power plant for over 25 years , and still have both eyes .
Thanks Karen…..
@@Nwnomad410 Care to expand?
@@Nwnomad410 Shut up boomer
@OldSchool Why are you worrying about my comment then?
I've heard that rubberized coating will cause the frame to rust underneath it or is not removing the rust or using a rust reformer the issue?
Is there anything you found you could not or would not spray ray while undercoating
Have you ever done a 4 door Jeep Wrangler? If so how many cans did it take for it?
Do you have an update on this now?
I know that paint and/or coatings can chip, trap moisture, and end up hiding rust.
What about INSIDE the box sections? What will be going on in there?
Great job and it looks amazing, but this is only a cosmetic temporary solution. This process only addressed the exterior surface rust...what about the rust inside the frame? There is usually more rust inside than outside.
How did they brush top and interior side of frame ?
Boy these projects would be a lot easier if I had a lift. Laying on my back with a power washer sucks. If you get your truck undercoated at a shop do they do any prep work?
Never thought about it much ,but I would think most of the damage would be going on inside the frame where the salt accumulates. It does look nice.
No, the outside will rust faster than inside. Inside is usually coated with oil/wax to prevent rust. I had a rusty mercedes....
@@AKL89wrong
Would it hold moisture underneath the coating and develop rust
Buy a spray can handle with trigger. It will save your finger, and allow more control and smoother passes.
Cool video.
Unfortunately not everyone has a vehicle lift in their garage lol
I'll have to pay someone to be able to rent their car lift.
And pressure wash my vehicle to prep for paint.
Great job! I noticed that you left out the exhaust system. Have you considered coating the exhaust system with hi temp graphite based paint? I know they are expensive!
no never spray the exhaust
What about the exhaust muffler? Can you paint that black too???
Is that an air angle grinder?? If so what one and what disc are you using??
How long does the undercoating last ?
How many cans were usedfor this application? What finish did you use?
I'm using steel-it, but wonder if its safe to spay everything under the car?
So that rustoleum won't deteriate the rubber bushings?
This is amazing! Im in New England as well. Where are you located I'll pay you to do mine as well
I just did this to my '96 Dakota and '17 Wrangler, but I tore both down to the frames and had them sandblasted. I'm not taking any chances with missing spots. So many spots I found in crevices with light surface rust, but that's where it starts. A metric shit ton of work but worth it as I won't have to worry about it until I'm dead.
If you don’t want to take your car apart bring it somewhere for 500 bucks They’ll spray black oil filament they go inside the frame inside the doors rocker panels quarter panels everything
How do you find someone to do the sand blasting?
Great job. How much would a job like this cost?
How is it possible to get so much rust in such a short periode of time? I live in the Netherlands and salt is used a lot in the winter, but my 2001 Volvo does not rust at all. Is Jeep delivering cars without a proper anti rust treatment or is it just bad metal that is used?
What's the name of small tool (grinder) used for removing rust?
Yayyy I get to buy a new tool. Milwaukee m12 angle grinder here I come.
YW lol
You should have used a metal prep like Rust Bullet Metal Blast prior to coating
Nice job! Is this spiro's in Salem? I could use this on my monte carlo.
Don't use rubberized undercoating. Use an oil or wax based undercoating (preferably oil based). Just Google "is rubberized undercoating good" and you will see why.
This will just make this rust more but hidden behind the rubberized coating. Being from the rust belt, this is fairly common knowledge that you don't put rubberized undercoating over existing rust unless EVERY SINGLE BIT of rust is removed. Need to use a non hardening (usually oil or waxed based) coating
@Heffalompen That's the problem. It's almost impossible to remove ALL of the rust. Which means what ever you don't remove will be susceptible to worse rusting. This is why non hardening products like Surface Shield, works best for applications like this.
Here in rusty Michigan we use Only Fluid Film. Rubber undercoat will only make it look good. Unless you sandblast the frame you will never get all the rust off, but by then powder coat or some other way better process is just better. Just search southmain auto Fluid Film...
even witthout rust . it just needs to be chipped by rock, road debris, etc. dirt and moisture will start creeping under the rubber and the cancer begins, unseen till it's too late.
@@roberthayes6329 Fluid Film on new and used truck / cars. If used, first POR-15 then fluid film.
@@larsaskogstadunless you have the frame dipped then you’re not getting 100% off. If you’re having the frame dipped, get it powder coated while you’re at it.
Great work, where are u located? Do my tacoma next…
How much u charge for this?
I do this to my 2014 and 2016 Jeep Wranglers every Fall and also to my 2017 Tacoma TRD, but I use Raptor undercoating.
Omg he need goggles on,but great job ✌🏾
Does anyone else think that they did a really half assed job? That frame is going to be rusted again in no time.
