I was sandblasting my truck with my 5 hp heavy duty air compressor and the pitted area's took a lot of extra time. I phoned
a well known local professional body man who warned me about covering up even a spec of rust with this story. "If you had a small nail a mile long and it was well galvanized except that on one end it was bared to the moisture in the air that rust would start from this small bared end and eventually travel inside the galvanization and destroy all the steel the whole mile lenght." I'm now thinking of first using a liquid rust remover then checking the pitted areas with sandblasting to make certain there are no tiny dark rust specs. Has anybody tried this - PLEASE advise me. Thanks in advance. A.K.

AK:I to have problems with rust.Unless you are setup with good rust removal system such as sand,glass bead or shot blast,rust removal is very labor intensive. I have experminted with alternative methods. A zinc rich compound commonly known as [ ZRC ] has worked excellent for me. It can be brushed or sprayed,I use spray cans.On rusty metal I use it as primer,I remove as much rust as I can by scraping,chipping and/or sanding,apply a coat of ZRC, let dry,sand and paint. If you expierment a little I think you will like it.Lets face,it rust is oxidation,to stop it we have to cut off the source of oxygen,and zinc will do that. My proceedure will vary with each job.It may seem like a coverup,but after all what is paint.I am very particular about the quality and looks of my paint jobs.My experments with zinc date back into the 70'S.....Good luck Jay
