Hi!
I've got an application problem here. You have a piece of metal, decent size, and coated in a healthy layer of rust with some old paint here and there aswell. How do you restore it (no mechanical repair required) and paint it so it looks like new. What are the main steps and how do you do them?
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Hi, sounds like that piece of metal is a good candidate for sandblasting. This will remove rust and paint. If metal is pitted, you may be able to remove some of that be sanding with about a 150 grit wet or dry sandpaper. Minor pitts can
be covered with primer and sanding that with 400 grit paper. Hope this helps.

There are several methods for stripping the part. Sandblasting, acid cleaning(only for rust removal), or alkaline electrolytic reaction. The latter method is used at places like Redi-strip Company. I love it best on sheetmetal or intracate parts that I don't want to blast. The sandblasting is probably the most accessable, provided the part is thick enough that it can't be warped(like sheetmetal). For small parts and ones that require more gentle treatment, a glass bead blasting cabinet may be used. I only used acid when I cannot blast or strip any other way. After stripping, a metal conditioner should be used like PPG DX579. This is a mild phosphoric acid cleaning solution. Then the part should be sealed in sealer primer like PPG DPLF sealer/primer. To fill any rust pits, a filler like Evercoat metal glaze or Z-Chrome should be used, followed by block sanding, then filler primer and more blocksanding. Then a sealer coat of sealer primer, then scuff and paint.
