After degrease and paint remover, what do you guys do about flash rust (or any other rust) on the cast parts. I don"t want to sandblast tranny, differential, axle/bullgears ect. Rust hides pretty good in cast, so do you just spray on some rust converter? I"ve also heard that epoxy primer will seal the rust, and stop it from coming back. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.....Stan

Aloha, I usually use Corroseal on bare metal and then paint over that.

I have been using a self etching primer from BASF # Zip 834 for many years and like it lots. I keep some in one gun and when I get something clean I spray a couple of thin coats. As long as I keep it indoors and dry I can let it set for years with out rust coming back , When time to paint I give it another coat and then paint shortly after. Epoxy primer might do the same for you but I don"t like mixing small quanities of primer with a limited shelf life after mixing. I have put epoxy (Nason) over Zip 834 but it was only 3-4 years ago so don"t really know how it is for the long term. I would expect it to last tho. I would not put rust converter on anything I had a lot of labor in. I have used it when in a bind and it did work for for a few years. Good Luck!

Even if you sandblast it you will still get that flash rust. Do the best you can and then paint it. None of those parts were completely rust-free when they got painted the first time.

Things like that just add to the realism of the machine.
