Second day of rust treatment:
The Eastwood liquid converter applied yesterday looks chalky blue in places. Not black. Probably applied too thick, not shaken enough, and it's been cold at nights here. Operator error is usually the cause. I will give it extra time before topcoat.
Used 3 cans of rubberized under-coater which covered 80% of the large surfaces with at least a thin layer. 6 cans should be plenty for the car. I did the deep corners first and then the flats with extra at the corners where leaves/dirt/water will collect. One section at a time. The cans sprayed perfectly and precisely.
Unlike the too-gelatinous imo rust converter, the inner frame rail paint sprayed fast and was dripping everywhere. There was definitely a strong chemical smell. The hose assembly is tiny, snakes into small holes, and sprays well under very high pressure. I blew it out afterwards and hopefully will be able to use it for other projects. Just like the movie title this can was gone in under 30 seconds so you have to be fast and move it around to all the corners. Two cans will not be enough for the A-arms, front sub frame, and rockers. I'm going to follow up with Fluid Film for full coverage. The hose needs to be preconditioned or it will curl up inside the frame. It is also only 24" and not long enough for long pieces.
