Metalcloak rust

[TabarnaCarl]

Hi

I've had my metalcloak suspension for 3 years/30k km, and it's starting to rust.

Should I sandblast everything and primer/paint ? Grind only where there's rust, keep the zinc and paint over it ? Not sure if I'll keep them gold or just paint it black with bedliner

I use Eastwood rust encapsulator paint products. USA company in PA. You get a human from PA on the phone.

The zinc plating has been used up. Time to blast and repaint IMO.

Recently I have found that Ospho primer does a great job converting light rust and preventing further rust under the paint. Also seems to greatly improve paint adhesion. Its cheap and easy to use too.

@TabarnaCarl - it is odd that the DB3 is rusting but the arms are fine... makes me think that the Zinc Chromate on the DB3 is not up to standards... reach out to me ([email protected]) and we can get that taken care of... - Matson
