Dealing with the rust....

[smilexelectric]

So how do you guys stop it? do you cut it out? I really want to get rid of it before I paint the bed on my truck.

I saw the POR-15 or whatever it is, is it worth it?

cut it out is all i've ever done and i know to do for it, thats why its called "cancer" thats about the only thing you can do

Even on the frame? Theirs no way to neutralize it?

grind the shit out of it and immeadiatly paint over it..DO NOT leave it exposed for ANY amount of time, thats about it!

A buddy of mine buffs away the rust underneath and sprays bedliner spray on it.

My neighbor just sprays black paint over it and every time he goes under the car he sprays like 6 cans of black paint...

I have read of POR-15 working well, we use a product called Ospho. Follow the link, I think you may be able to get it at the hardware stores. It neutralizes the rust and turns it to a black looking finish. Ideally you would want to cut it out but that's not always practical. Do some reading on the Ospho and/or POR-15.

20 + years of working on ships I have used hundreds of gallons of Ospho. It's good stuff.
