Sanded and wirewheeled the side frames of my late B, (after rinsing off the wd-40) down to bare metal which has rust stains and shallow pits, sprayed/brushed the "Must" (s/a Picklex, right?) and after a while a weird white coating formed. Normal? Now wait 'til it warms up, brush the white stuff off with Scotchbrite, fill the worse pits with glazing putty, then prime and paint (JD Classic)?

When the white come up that is normal. Its is getting rid of all the rust. The best thing i have found in painting old cars and what not is to find out what you working with for paint once you find out what you want for paint or what you have for paint you take paint thinner or asetone and whipe the peice of metal down after you have wire wheeled the metal really good the asetone or paint thinner is there to get rid of any of the exes chemical if there is any left it will blemish your paint and you dont want that. Usally they tell you to wipe it down with water but it soo bad when your working with bare metal I have seen people touch metal and the next day it rust it does that becasue of the oils in your skin. Let it dry up for about and hour but make sure you know what your useing you dont want to use the wrong cleaner and find out that it is a stripper to the paticular paint. After I lay down a layer or 2 of primer i usally get a 300 grit and I block sand it out a little and get it smooth and get all the inperfections out. Then lay my color on and after the 2 coats of color I wet sand it I get a spray bottle and spay some water on the paint make sure the paint i dry before you do this. I take a 1000 grit and sand it but not to far you will fell it when the paper gets really easy to move over the paint. Then I lay down another coat or 2 of paint and put clear in depneding on your application. If you do this you will see a major differnce in you paint it will be twice as shinney becasue your getting rid of all the imperfections in the paint. If you have anymore questions you can fell free to e-mail or if you would like I can talk to you over the phone about it.

The white residue will also occur on rust-free metal -- rusty areas will be black, perhaps with black under the white. Dirty cast, even with the rust removed will be white. Clean sheet metal will still have a white coating, although much less than cast. The cleaner the metal the less white coating.

Normal -- any rust will turn black, the rest white. The cleaner you get the metal, the less white residue. Cast will often look as if it has been painted white. I'm not saying Must for Rust is the same as Picklex, but it seems to behave the same way. Be sure to use a two-part putty, not the one-part stuff in the tube, that is mostly thick primer. Remove all the white residue you can. I use scotchbrite followed by wax and grease remover. Anything left after that is stuck pretty good.
