surface rust

  1. So what process do you use on surface rust the old stand by of sand blasting is a mess here at the shop spend as much time cleaning up as blasting and in 100 deg temp really wheres you out, sanding with DA and then treating is a mess to and either way I always worry I will miss some small spot that will show up 5 years down the line

    here before and after the fenders were sanded and treated the deck lid is sandblasted

    any know of any other good options

    i have been wondering what the best way to remove smaller patches of surface rust w/out hurting the orig lac paint. i want to keep my orig paint on my 53 but want to rid some smaller patches of rust and prime those areas. i know it may not be the popular thing to do, but i don't want to git rid of the orig paint i have, even for a totally new paint job, but i don't like the rust.
     
  4. both sound good will try them and see how it goes

  5. Some of the fellas use CLR with good success.

    I still use a DA and damn the mess.

    What do you guys do for areas that can't easily be ground or sanded? Such as the inside of a unibody torque box or rocker panels? Would you just blast it and clean up the mess as needed?
     
  7. I know this is old but I am all ways looking for suggestions
    Door and fender I am now doing in a bead blasting cabinet.
    main bodies gl*** magic (ground gl***) out side It is just a mess to clean up
