Shawn89 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 So after having my 90 toyota 4x4 pickup for a while I have decided hat its time to fix the frame rust. Everything on the passenger side from the back of the cab is really rotted, to the point of the front leaf srping mount has broke off and I can't put a shock on that side. So I picked up a rear section from about mid cab back. I got it in the garage today and started pluging away. I've got most of the old surface rust cleaned off, andcut out the round crossmember that was rusted pretty bad. This is a 7 day project that has to be done by Sunday night. Tomorow I will get the rest of the rust cleand up and crossmember welded in, so I can POR15 the whole thing wensday. I will post pics as soon as I can get near a real computer, seeming how my phone will not upload pics. Thank you for reading and have a good evening.

zeitgeist57 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Where'dja get POR-15? Anywhere locally? Also, are you using a rust converter before laying down POR-15? Looking forward to seeing pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yes. I have a few cans of permitex rust repair, which is suposed to turn the rust into primer. then I want to spray it with some stuff I got from napa that is either por15 or has it in it. After that I want to spray the piss out of it with undercoating. I've never done anything like this on this scale so I'm just repairing it how I think it should be done.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 that stuff looks like it would be great, but I'm on a really tight budget and deadline. They sell it in small sizes and it covers very well. $20-30 would do the whole frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 They sell it in small sizes and it covers very well. $20-30 would do the whole frame That's not bad. Maybe once I get everything together frame wise ill get some and cover the wole underside of the truck. anyone have a set of 3" or4" lift blocks and ubolts laying around they wanna sell? If I'm gonna lift it now would be the best time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 if you want to do the whole bottom of the truck I can loan you a spray gun with a big tip that will spray it well. Just cover up because the shit stays on skin along time....ask me how I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 i thought the same thing about POR15, it came off in sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Aj how did you finish the metal before painting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 PPG DP90LF is a black epoxy sealer DP48 or DP49 are the same thing but one is gray and the other is a greenish. then if its needing body filler thats done and then PPG K36 primer for sheet metal.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have talked to kds many times and they recommend like a 80 grit finish then 3 coats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 for a frame KDS or Eastwood chassis paint is the way to go on old stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn89 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well, I didn't get to do anything on it last night, but I did pick up some steel from mjrsplat( very cool guy btw). So as soon as I get off work at 1 ill be going straight over and start welding the patches in. Its probably gonna be a late night hustle. It needs to be painted tonight!

Shawn89 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 What's you guys thought on the roll on bed liner for the frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrsplat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have seen a few trucks with it done, but i dont know about long term effects or anything. IMO It should be fine, just use one of the more durable brands and stay away from duplicolor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 use something durable the first time the paint chips water will start working its way in and you'll end up with rustout all over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
