[Spridgets] Rustproofing sandblasted metal

[crusaderchuck55 at aol.com]

I hate to go on record saying this.   If you get the frames blasted , first rattle can primer , follow that with a good brushed on cost of Rustoleum semi flat black.  Let them sun dry ( bake) and do not look back from there!They are seat frames , not to be seen once covered by upholstery.   Rustoleum will preserve the metal nicely at a reasonable price.ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Robert Weeks via SpridgetsDate: Thu, Sep 10, 2020 1:58 PMTo: Spridgets List;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] Rustproofing sandblasted metalHi All,I was finally able to track down a decent set of seat frames for the Midget that my son has been working on. The old ones were rusted through. After we sandblast these, what is the best way to attempt to rust proof them? Since the backs of the frames set basically against the floor or carpeting, they are very prone to rust through. I know that nothing will totally stop rust, but what are the best products to help these last for as long as possible? I remember POR 15 from back when I was working on cars, but that had mixed reviews. I see Eastwood now has a bunch of different rust encapsulating and coating products and I guess there is powdercoating but my wife might not like me suing our oven for that.In any event, what are people using nowadays for this? Is there any product or solution that is clearly better than the others?Thanks,Robert
