Zinc anti rust paint for car chassis and body filler rust repair videos | car bodywork preparation 

Thank you Fraser, glad you enjoyed it. There is an engine rebuild videos for the same van published. I think you will enjoy them

Therapy, take it easy

Yes, the manufacturer specifies drying time 4 hours but it is dry to touch within minutes.

It is proven to be a good product.

@@weld-deluxltd7635 I will give some a try one day. On my next video, I will put a card up and add one of your videos to my end screen. This way you might get more views and a subscriber or two?

@@JonDingle thank you kindly!

several weeks, it takes sooooo loooong to dry when outside temperature under 20C

Yes, it is drying out relatively fast. I am not sure if degreeser would affect it. (I can not remember, but I never had any issue) Paint job is almost a year now and there is no defects. Thank you for your comment! It helps to know that some one finds it helpful!

Combination of several factors, really bad factory paint job, salt on the roads in winter and North Sea 200m near by

Some things have being omitted, I can not remember what. It has been a while

I can only try, what questions do you have?

Originally I purchased 5kg but it wasn't enough, so later I purchased 5 again and still have about 3 let

@@weld-deluxltd7635 Thank You!

You have asked to write down what kind of projects I am interested in doing. I want to convert a ProMaster van, into a full-time living space. So 60 years guarantee is a big plus for me!

Hello Millan, here is some answers for you. I did not sprayed underside as it was in surprisingly good condition so i only did wheel arches you can see it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4fphaU3cdVo.html. You could spray any part in the same manner just remember that Zinga works the best if you sand blast metal surface before application. I did not paint inside of engine bay as i did not need that. However i did painted the engine with zinga but it is totally different story and if you interested watch this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sBrDyjeK4Dg.html Little bit of info about materials: Zing - is a Galvanising complex Epoxy Primer - is a sealing primer that is used to seal bear metal or as in my case metal coated with Zinga. High build primer - Primer that used to fill small pores and cracks that can be sanded down to perfectly smooth surface prior to colour ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ub8eRdk1HGg.html I have always painted Gravitex over Epoxy as i needed to seal the metal before i applied Gravitex. once Gravitex was dry i did paint high build primer on top to have same material and same colour prior of application of colour. As update there is not a spot of the rust on any surface that i repainted up to date.

Sounds cool, i wish you best of luck with your project!

@@weld-deluxltd7635 Thank you so much! That clears up a lot. So after the sealing primer, you still need to spray paint primer, before you paint? And fot underside, if you were to do it, I'm guessing it would be Zinga, then 2xSealing Primer, then 3xGravitex, am I right? I will definitely look for some more videos on this. But I haven't seen anyone do it as thorough as you. And your neighbor seems like he knows a lot. :)

@@millanferende6723 It is not necessary to spray high build primer over Gravitex as it is a paintable surface, however, everything drying very slow as i do not have a heated paint room and outside temperature 18C. Gravitex is heavy and there is a lot of solvent in it. If it is not 100% Dry it may cause your colour coat to be wrinkled and damaged as those solvents affect the colour coat. I applied high build primer only to have enough material for sanding it down and make a smooth surface, i could of painted right over the top of the gravitex. I do belive that if you do not need a smooth surface, it is still good to aply some sort of primer before you paint colour as it gives you a uniform base to work with.

Zink offers additional galvanic protection and manufacturer stipulated that it should be used on shot-blasted, rough surface. 2K primer was used to seal the zink. Beare in mind that zink particles are in the binder and when it dries it is a good surface to paint over.

I presume that different zink coatings have different properties and levels of effectiveness. In my experience, the paint job is over a year old now and there is no sign of any issues. Manufacturer of "Zinga" talking about 60 years of protection if applied correctly. If i can get 1/4 of that i will be delighted.

@@weld-deluxltd7635 noted..many thanks for discuss..now i use dinitrol zinc and 3M since zinga not available at my country..after zinc spray i overpaint epoxy 1:2 but i wonder to use it for outside panel so i just use it for inside, engine, trunk and undershield..

@@bennyronald6908 Unfortunately I can not give any advice on that as my experience in painting limited to the materials I used

Yes, it is fixed. There is no rust on any painted surfaces

Yes, i have used staff for the protection of everything from inside where i could not get in with the paint. I will find out the name of it later on and will make a comment. This solution is used to prevent corrosion on aircraft and manufacturer specify that it is suitable for automotive too

Unfortunately it is not hard and you will need to have some sort of protective coating or you will have repaint any scratches all the time. If you are building serious off road machine, consider using polyuria coatings over your zink. Just research linex coating.

all good

Thanks a lot for a good input! Much appreciated. I have done most of those on the list but my roof has let me down. So much that I am looking for replacement now

@@weld-deluxltd7635 roofs/around the screens are always issues. Screen has to come out to do even a half-azz job of repairing there & the sheer volume of spot-welds holding the entire roof on make replacement a marathon/only for the brave. Plus when you plug weld the roof..which you have to as no spot welder will do it, the backs of the plug welds will start to rust, lol. The battle never ends. :-)

It is still good, it has some issues but mainly due to me being crap driver and scraping side on the gate

@@weld-deluxltd7635 It would be very interesting to see short video about it.

​@@weld-deluxltd7635YES! Would love to see a short follow up video to show how it's holding up, with commentary on how you might have done things differently based on both observations on current state, but also your knowledge given all the constructive comments and other experience shared w/you over the years. ?

Yes you are correct, 96% of all solids in it is zinc

Also read lead is ingredient for marine metal anti rust

@@nestormejia2692 I am not aware of that, but will be interesting to know.

No

I do not know 100%, but at the moment I am doing a project with Raptor and I do apply primer after zink coating before I put on the Raptor

@@weld-deluxltd7635 what primer are you using for the raptor project? I'm going to copy your method thanks 😁

@@MrRikgear7 same primer as you see me using in this video's. It is made by Body, I will check tomorrow

@@weld-deluxltd7635 thanks again for your advice and video. I will search online for that primer.

shame it was not done from the factory. T make matters even worst, they put 2l engine into those vans

Long time, several weeks.had to wait for the paint to dry. I can not remember quintiles any more as it was a while. I however answered this question before, so look in the comments under one of the videos

With a suitable thinner, ask your supplier.

If you interested to see this van in colour here is a link to that video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ub8eRdk1HGg.html Yes, the rims where shot blasted and then powder coated in silver. I did not bother with painting brake calipers as it is working van and the whole point was to make sure it preserved properly concentrating more on practicality.

£100 per 5kg is the cost that will make it unlikely purchase for diy purpose

Near by, we all near by to each other. Technology made earth such small place

That is also true. It looks like some age group where more affected the the other

Thanks for the comment

😄

They certainly cut a lot of corners on factory paint work

Yes there are many ripples and you are absolutely entitled to call it shit. I would say the same thing if it was the finish on a car. This is working van and on it, I wilI take ripples over rusted holes any day of the week. So far not a spot of rust came back, so I consider the paint job to be great success. Additionally, I have large silver shiny stickers that take the eye away and you do not notice the ripples unless you are searching for defects. I am grateful for your constructive comment, all of us learned so much from it. You really done a great favour to humanity, you can be proud of yourself!
