Hello,
I have taken the fuel tank out to clean and under the tank there is surface rust which I would like to address before putting the tank back in. The goal is to clean it up and prevent the rust getting worse. I am think of using Kurust after I cleaned the majority of the rust off then paint over it. Are there any other products you could recommend. Also how did the factory fit the roll bar, the PO did not do a good job of cutting the body to make way for the plate. |

I do soap and water, solvent cleaner, abrasive of choice (mine is wire brush or green 3M bristle disc, more cleaning, acid etch, and coating. For really rusty metal I used Eastwood's rust encapsulating paint, and then epoxy primer.
For box sections and dead air spaces I use the Eastwood cavity paint. |
