I just finsihed installing a dozer blade and rear blade to be used for snow removal. Both are badly rusted and I wanted to get them sandblasted and painted but I was too late. Should I just sand the rust off and use spray cans or I am just wasting my time. I just want to try to keep the snow from sticking on the blades for this season. Thanks

You might try some of the graphite paint that they sell at TSC. It holds up pretty good in our grain boxes against corn, soybeans, etc. One gallon put on should cover the front and rear pretty well.

Slip=Plate is the stuff. It'll wear off, but will shed snow real well and as it wears the steel will polish. Works on plow shares too.

I would wait till spring to do it right. For now brush it off and if you can warm the blade up and melt paraffin or candle wax into the steel. This should do the job and be tougher and last longer than thinner waxes. I do this to my loader bucket every year.

Anything will help. Sand or blast if possible, anything that will make the blade smoother. A bare-metal blade, polished up nice and smooth, will shed snow just fine, but it'll rust up fast.

I heard once about a technique that might help. Now I've never tried this, so I don't know if it works, but a fella once told me to heat up the backside of the blade with a torch, then while it's still warm, slop on a coat of oil base paint. The heat from the torch helps bake the paint on. His idea was to re-heat the blade after the paint was on, but that seems too flammable to me. Be careful!

after sanding you might try primer spray for now or just use some auto wax on the face
