rust removal

Hi Everyone, I did some quick and dirty rust repair on my rear pillar seams when I got my 07' about three years ago. I wire-wheeled the seam out the best I could, painted over it with Rustoleum, and sealed it with silicone. Big surprise, it started rusting again (see photos). I searched the...

I was doing treatment of the rust recently discovered when taking up the factory installed floor of my NCV3 and when grinding down one section a huge amount of it came out entirely with no problem at all (was a small hole before surrounded by rust). The hole is a good couple inches - wondering...

Aaand here is a post about everyone's fav topic - rust :frown:. I found a bunch in my 2005 Dodge Sprinter, hiding under the floor panels. I am planning on treating the whole floor with POR-15 and fiberglass cloth for a few wholes I found/created by tapping with the hammer. I did 1/5th of the...

Anyone have any recommendations on sourcing touch up paint? I am trying to repair a few dents / rust spots. No local stores seem to carry anything in the Arctic White P01 color code. I am also having trouble finding online vendors with decent reviews (or any at all).

Recently bought a 158 2006 dodge, old fedex van. Theres a sizable hole inbetween cross members between the seats. About .5x1.5ft. It was patched and sealed with a now rusty piece of sheet metal. Over that were a few of metal fedex signs screwed into the floor. All this was under the...

I've seen the horror stories of crazy rust... this is not like that. However, I bought my 2008 170" high top 2008 Freightliner Sprinter used, and whoever took the graphics off of it did so with a nice flathead and cut into the outer coating of the white, leaving lots of opportunities for tiny...

Hey All! I am trying to change the rotors and pads and they are seriously rusted! I have got the calipers off but I am struggling with (I am not sure the name) the bit that is a frame around the pads. There are two bolts, 19 mm that are on the inside of the part facing the vehicle. I have...

Hi all, I've been searching the forums for solutions / wisdom for how to approach a sprinter with rear window rust damage. Haven't found anything. Anyone have advice for how to approach? Cost or feasibility of doing it myself with no experience? The sprinter is in great shape otherwise, so...
