Nicely done video! Tip, Use a "Presto" electric crock pot to heat the oil to 100C then spray it on. Oil/wax mixtures spray beautifully at this HOT temperature. Use extreme caution not to burn yourself..
100% . I like to use some thin oil in August then some chain bar oil and cooking oil in sept or October the cooking oil makes tac up after a few days done right and annually you truck will last . I just restored a 2011 f150 4x4 welded in new rockers and cab corners touched up paint re did brakes and new strut rebuild differential. I drilled several 1/2 holes in my rockers and new cab corners and pillars and sprayed them also and will be doing it annually the entire truck The job your doing is fantastic getting all the boxed sections awesome , you won’t get level of coverage if you farmed it out
I've been spraying my truck in the same areas that you do. I just flush out the frame and body panels with water first a week before I spaying the material. Moisture activates salt. Dirt holds moisture.
If it's a red Tacoma, it's my video lol. Linseed oil was commonly used as a protection from rust on planes too. It's even used in some industrial paints for structures.
@@4DIYers it was made by a high end restoration guy. I have watched 100 undercoating videos... the candle wax..linseed oil and mineral spirits has been my favorite so far.

I just wash the underside of my car at the do it yourself wash at least once a week or after a snowfall and salt coating on the road. Been working great.
I did the same when I had a car..but now I have a pick up, Im astounded by the number of `holes` in the frame. I have no idea why they are all there, but water gets in with ease.
Thank you! You maybe able to request them having to spray inside the frame. I don't believe they typically do that. Usually they have a window in their spray bay to watch when applying the coating.
I have the same spray gun as you which I purchased to apply Fluid Film under my car. I have found that the Fluid Film leaks badly from where the 3 hoses attach to the gun. I have resorted to wrapping the fitting with a cloth and taping around the cloth to prevent it from unraveling. The cloth by the end is absolutely soaked with Fluid film. Better on the cloth than on my driveway. Also, the small opening requires a funnel to add Fluid Film inside the metal bottle which is a slow process.
you don't need a fancy expensive spray gun. I just use a long nose wand style sprayer about $10.00, get some chain oil, thin it out will varsol and I get some candle wax. put it in a pot heat it up so its sprayable. for about $30.00 I can make about 8 litres or 2 gallons, enough for 2-3 cars
Found this helpful. And very thorough. Thankyou Although I have read that 2-3 coats is recommended. Can you speak to this at all? (Yes I realise this is quite a laborious process which is why I'm asking - if I went to that much trouble I'd want to know I was doing it right)
No problem and thank you for the kind words. 2-3 coats may depend on the product but it can get excessively thick which maybe a problem. I would recommend doing this every year instead. This year, I'll be applying oil instead as the wax will stay as a base coat and provide a strong protection, while the oil can soak into any areas where the wax maybe lacking or if the coating is removed off the surface.
@@4DIYers thankyou. Helpful. But with regards to the oil, do you mean it can coat areas like tubing etc? (the stuff you were careful to avoid spraying?)
@@4DIYers What should I use to spray my vehicle with oil? I have a big air compressor and a gravity fed paint gun but I don't want to destroy the gun using oil. I have quite a lot of used Mobil 1 to spray underneath but jot sure the best way to do it.
For others asking about the oil mixture used: He's previously used a mixture of linseed oil and wd40. Fluid film and cosmoline work great. I have used spray cans of rp342 and it's very easy.
I’ve seen several of your RU-vid’s thanks! What’s your current recommendation on a spray gun to apply Blaster Surface Shield? You didn’t mention the brand/make in this video; have a recommendation?
Thank you for the support! I haven't used Blaster Surface Shield personally, but the gun that was shown in the video can work for a variety of solutions, even paint. The link for it is in my video description and there should be a pinned common too.
Thank you! Might be able to find another retailer who supplies it, but it's a pretty specific gun otherwise. Not many companies offer this style from what I've found.
I used Proform PF711. I've heard of using Fluid Film, never tried it myself though. As far as I know, Fluid Film is about double the price than compared to the stuff I used. Proform is also a Canadian company, so I'm not sure if it's sold outside of the country.
Try CarQuest, that's where I bought mine and they seem to be a supplier for Proform. It was on sale a few weeks ago, might still be, $30 for the 3.78L can like I used in the video.
@@4DIYers do you have a link to this PF711 rustproofing stuff? I've found something from The Wrench Monkey, but Ill have to wait to call to get a price according to the page... or they have none left... :/
@@4DIYers Yeah I bought the inexpensive TCP model a couple years ago. The one with the blue metal canister. Does a good job but the attachments could be better.
Can you share a link or information on the type of product you sprayed on your vehicle? Also that sprayer is no longer available on Amazon, the alternatives seemed very expensive for what they were, FYI. Thank you
Hi Ed, I saw your comment. The product he used was wax based. He recently responded advising that he will "be applying oil instead as the wax will stay as a base coat and provide a strong protection, while the oil can soak into any areas where the wax maybe lacking or if the coating is removed off the surface."
After 6:00, I fitted my own 360 degree tip ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cZ6tBZ4aqYk.html It's not a pressurized gun and the solution I used there was thinner so it sprays easier. The pressurized guns are more specific for these types of coatings. You maybe able to find a cheaper option online, but just be careful with the cheapo brands. One model I was researching that was about half the price compared to the one in the video seemed to have quite a few bad reviews.
Hello Did you clean out inside rockers? There’s plugs or original tape over the rear backside of rockers you can remove to wash them out before applying rust proofing. Thank you
Btw, I'm trying to figure out the quick connect fitting size? For the wand attachments. 1/4F? Not sure what style this is for the Lemmer. Not your standard air compressor or pressure washer. Any idea?
@@jasonfrance4927 yes Eastwood! Not sure if that does much since I still got rust. I used phosphoric spray also to convert the rust. But the problem is phosphoric acid will CREATE rust where there is no rust. Make sure to get Cosmoline Black because Cosmoline sells just their paraffin wax straight but it is orange like rust color. hahahaha. So then I found this laser welding engineer who designed a "chassis repair kit" for the same chassis frame! Took me awhile to find a mechanic who knew how to weld that on....Cuz I could not trust just relying on that Eastwood stuff - it really doesn't do much. And I couldn't remember what color paraffin - I had used both over the years. It's hard to tell about rust inside the chassis. I used a boroscope camera. Yeah then I used epoxy paint since that lasts longer I think then the wax. The wax gets brittle in the winter and then comes off in the car wash, etc. The ONLY Epoxy paint I could find in a spray can was for "appliance" Rustoleum. thanks
If it's new, now is the best time to apply a form of rust protection. Many products are self healing, if any stone chips occur, they'll be immediately protected.
You mean to say the Dealership didn't try to screw you, $$$ on under coating your new truck please rust proof/oil your truck if you plan on owning it over 5yrs
Don't waste your time with CT, go to a John Deere dealer and get their implement paint. It's more expensive but great stuff! If you check out my Tacoma frame refinish and my gas tank leak repair, but of those had implement paint as well, but it's a can version instead where I mixed for a paint gun.
I purchased the same kit, the nozles work great. Until I switch over to the flexible 360° wand, the oil just clumps out of the wand, it doesn't spray as a mist. Any idea?
@@4DIYers Google is the parent company and perhaps I was trying to watch the video, maybe they were downloading new tracking software. My junk email is 200+ with gutters to military crap all showing: google user…… I am sick of it! A lot of deleting going on over here! DK, out!
I haven't used Fluid Film, but I know it's very popular and people seem to like it. I have used Woolwax and it does a good job. But so far I prefer this stuff as it seems to have a great bond on the surface.
1 gallon of 30w bar and chain oil mixed with 1 tube of Lucas red tacky grease is the ratio i use heated up in a big electric crockpot and spray it on hot with a undercoating gun.
