I like the idea of brushing it on. For those of us that don’t have time to do a frame off treatment. Just areas that we already have access too. Or just trying to get more years out of an old truck.
Man these videos are great. I am learning so much. Funny thing is I have been watching them looking at the tools and products going "oh that would be nice if I was rich". Then I finally went to the website and could kick myself. They are affordable. I just did my Bronco frame and after two days of scaling grinding sanding and wire wheel I needed to coat it. I spent more on a coating that i got local than i would have ordering from you guys. That is not that bad news it geys worse the stuff i bought looks like garbage two weeks later. So needless to say you will be seeing some orders from me real soon. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
"Just two easy steps." Really? Add up the cost of the Eastwood tools and products, and the time it takes to complete a very unpleasant task, and you're north of the cost to media blast and powder coat.
1 all you really need is a drill with a wire brush, a 5in grinder with a wire brush, and a wire brush.... and and air compressor for paint, some people do this stuff regularly and thus already have all those things, btw powder coat is terrible it doesnt last long in hard conditions, also a cheap sandblaster and air compressor would work well (although very messy) and would probably cost less than $250 to buy everything !
The instructions and demonstration are well done. It's so easy when you have all kinds of equipment and a building in which to work. Unfortunately, I have only a few power and hand tools and a driveway. Air compressors and such are for rich people. LOL

True i build my cars wherever I'm at driveway builds all my life ......built not bought lol
Most likely, because the tool they used for getting the rust off just had multiple wire wheels it looks like, but you might need that thing with the needle like things to break rust, or just use heat and chip it off
Yea the angle grinder with wire wheel worked fine for me. Just wear gloves because that wire wheel throws off those little wires and after a while your hand will look like a pin cushion
@@nicholasdunbar3378 Yeah, if you use the grinder attachment, it will take off too much material. I suggested a wire-wheel attachment. Sand Blasting is the best method as you can get to the hard to reach spots that a grinder can't get to.
Matt....what does the rust encapsulator and internal frame spray actually do to rust scale? Does it coat and seal it water/air tight? Is there any chance of the rust flaking off with bumps and frame flex exposing the bare rusty surface underneath?
Flaky rust will need to be removed. Rust Encapsulator and Internal Frame Coating coats the area to prevent air and moisture from getting to the metal, which prevents further corrosion.
@@eastwoodco ok...I get that, but without sandblasting, how do you remove flakey rust from inside a box frame after using a power washer? I have two 1942 Ford G50E GPW Jeep frames that are essentially two C parts hot riveted and Huck bolted together to form a box frame. Short of cutting and drilling out those rivets....how can I remove rust from inside without sandblasting? I'm guessing the frame coating "sticks" together like a latex type of clingy coating?
Do i also have to remove the paint that is on the chasis ? or just the rust removal is fine. It’s a 69 c10 i was using POR15 but i don’t like that i need to completely get it to bare shiny metal
Depends on what you're using to coat the chassis. Eastwood Rust Encapsulator is designed to layer right over paint that's already there. You just want to be sure that your original layer of paint has a good bond.
@@eastwoodco How do i know old paint is a good bond? Also one last thing 1/4 of my chassis is bare metal would i have to etch it so eastwood rust encapsulater can stick?
I know Matt doesn't work for Eastwood anymore so I might ask this question on his Iron Trap Garage channel but if someone from Eastwood can answer my question then that'd be great. With the SCT tool...what happens with regards to kick back if you catch it on the frame and how do you get into those tight C channel frame sections to remove the rust before cleaning with a solvent and applying the rust encapsulator?
Would you be able to brush or roll on the chassis black top coat just like you can with the encapsulator? Probably not right? Also is that new encapsulator the equivalent of the silver stuff you sell?
I wanted to know the same thing. It didn't say if you could roll on or brush on the the ceramic chassis black. I think you can though...don't see why not. And can you do this same process to axles and drive shafts?
Instead of wasting time and money on brushing the frame, shouldve just save that power and money buying all of these tool and went ahead to sand blasting it
After painting your chassis coat it in bitumen I live in england where it rains 24/7 and the roads are covered in salt and my truck in my profile pic is 50 years old never been welded and doesnt need welding
Not necessarily the best method, but a good method to restore a frame that is completely disassembled from the vehicle and sitting outside on jack stands. The video is no value at all to someone who wants to restore, protect and extend the life of a modern vehicle that's assembled and running as an everyday driver.
Add me to the list of people who said "Blast it." Really, a needle scaler? I realize this video is for product presentation, but you just painted a turd.
We would always advocate for media blasting if you have the resources to do so, a lot of guys don't want to strip their car that far down, in that case this is a great option.
