I have a 1 ton Ford with a 12' flat bed dump. The bed is all metal and needs sand blasting and painted but I might be to cheap to have it sand basted.
About 10 years ago I went over it with a wire brush on an angle grinder and painted it. To much rust still under the paint to last any time.
There was an episode of Trucks a while back were they went over rust spots with a grinder and then put some chemical treatment on the metal before painting.
Does any of this stuff work? Is it cheaper than sand blasting? I don't mind going over it again with the grinder as long as I know the paint has a chance this time. Also going to be moving into new house soon with a garage in the basement so the truck will be out of the weather soon...I hope.
Thanks for any input.
