LoneSStar Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 My ss came from up north and is showing rust in random spots under the truck,, it bugs the hell outta me! Any suggestions on how to fix this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTYW Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Our trucks dont seem to be very well coated from the factory. Mine has always been well taken care of in the south and still had a lot of surface rust on the frame and steel under structures of the bumbers, etc. All I have done is crawl under and clean areas off and spray paint it. Not a real long term fix, but I dont drive min a lot and it still looks pretty good after a couple years. I've heard of guys using POR 15 and even powdercoating their frames. I'm not interested in going to that measure. A wire brush and some good rustoleum helped mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 http://www.fluid-film.com/ That stuff looks great. Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugie Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Rustoleum rust converter paint and stay on it!!! I too was very disgusted with the lack of undercoating on our trucks! The sad part is the frame metal gauge is very thin compared to older trucks and it won't take much for strength to be comprised. Watch your brake lines. I replace all of mine with stainless steel after a blow out during an emergency stop! Cause by rust under the drivers seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF-03-SS Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 That stuff looks great. Thanks for the link. Your welcome. There is a garage down the street that does this. Friend of mine had his plow truck done before winter.....looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggs Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 http://www.fluid-film.com/ I do the same as Marty and clean and paint mine, but was wondering what the life span is on that stuff Jeff? Just curious, may have to get me some and try it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, may have to get me some and try it out! I have no experience with the stuff so I'm not sure of the life span. It was a pretty thick layer (could put your finger into it) that they put on my buddies truck. If I had kept my SSS I def. would have had it done before winter as piece of mind (not that I drove it in the winter anyways) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
