steviet Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Im looking a bit of advice regards painting hub assy/wishbone arms and front anti-roll bar. Whats best primer and best top coat paint to use. All items are badly rusted and in need of a bitta life.Thought possible powder coating but not sure of costs. Quote
Gainzy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I would look into powder coating nice shot blast chemical dipped might be cheaper than you think... Quote
steviet Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Is it possible to get parts done that are really badly rusted and pitted ? Was think about getting new wishbones, but if powder coating what I have is as cheap might be better. Cause was think of fitting new poly bushes and new ball joints. Quote
Gainzy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Pitted as in holes? If the structure is still strong it may just be a case of bad surface rust..take one off flattern it right back you will know if it's worth putting back on, it's always nice to new it all if you have the cash to throw just new it haha Quote
steviet Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Think ill sand one down with course and fine emery paper and go from there. Thinking about just using hammerite black paint on hub assy. Quote
steviet Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Thrret isnt any holes as such just bad rust in areas with being sitting park for a year or so. Quote
Gainzy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I'm going to hammerite mine etc get some copper grease aswell smudge abit on door locks bonnet catch get your parts greased and moving again Quote
steviet Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Will do, in the progress of removing engine bay parts to get fresh paint. But suspension parts and brakes need attention to. Quote
