So edp youre saying just use no converters whatsoever after ensuring all the rust has been cut out? To neutralise a converter with water seems like its just risking more rust in some areas. then what...is it always nessecary to etch-prime on bare metal?
Yes, thats what I'm saying. I'm not trying to "scare" anyone away from anything just inform of the possibilities that exist.
phunkdoktaspok,
Again, your choice - if you feel like I'm fear mongering then by all means wash the sh*t our of your car w/phosphoric acid then paint it - good luck with that. the only thing that stuff does is convert the top layer to black oxide but underneath that layer is more lovely red rust - try it and see for yourself. Point here is your just covering it up - thats all! so if thats fear mongering then enjoy your rust.
The factory "E" coats that come on new panels is an epoxy of some sort to my understanding which is what I used as an metal sealer prior to paint.
Look, the message her is educate yourself & dont get fooled by quick fix, cheater products. If your going to paint why go to all the effort just to F it up.
