Recommendations in Ottawa
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Gang what is your thoughts on the best way to slow down rust? I have an
1982 that has not seen many winters and will never see a winter again.
The vehicle will be garaged indoors in a dry but unheated garage.
I have 2 areas of rust that I want to fix / slow down:
The rust is located....
- Underneath the bus there is surface rust pretty much everywhere but
looks & sounds solid.
- In the rear hatch on the bottom edge both sides a little but I'm
afraid it is trying to make a hole.
Question 1
- Should I bother painting stuff underneath (like propane shield,
heather boxes etc) with Tremclad type rust paint to help protect and
seal everything
Question 2
- Will oil spray treatment slow the rusting down or it is too late?
What is better oil spray or wax based sprays?
Question 3
- For inside door panels do you recommend trying to paint inside to seal
everything up or just oil spray?
Question 4
-Anyone recommend a rust proofing shop in Ottawa, place familiar with
Westys or does it matter?
Thanks!!!!
