Just wondering if anyone has used Eastwood's Internal Frame Coating with the long tube to spray inside the longtitudinals with the heater tubes still inside.

I'm just wondering how effective it will be with the heater tubes in the way. Eastwood says it won't damage the heater tubes, but I'm not sure of that if they are made of thick paper.

Opinions please.

Aren't the tubes inside the longs metal, not paper? That would be a disaster. You have metal tubes sticking out in the engine bay and metal tubes sticking out behind the speaker.... where would the paper be?

I used the Eastwood stuff. I inserted the spray hose into Long's the drain holes. Made my way to each drain hole. did a couple coats on each side. Tried to make sure the paint tube went on both sides of the heater tube.

Be careful with that stuff. If the overspray gets on ANYTHING, it is hell, maybe impossible, to get off. So close up any openings on top of the long. Like maybe the threshold screw holes or any openings around the exposed heater tube. I got overspray on my windshield and razor'd it off, but any overspray on vinyl or the dash is there for life.

Can't say how the stuff works, 'cause it is all inside. But the fact that it STICKS like hell to everything gives me hope.
