Never said anything bad, just get back to your books and Graduate already

they have weld through coatings you can brush on before you do it

if you can find one thicker piece then use that., no matter what you do one day the welds will rust. I still prefer a painted metal, at least if it starts to rust you can repair right away versus some heavy textured coating that hides all sins underneath it until its too late.

I agree with Rob on the painted repair area

I better give my foundry and chemical plant customers a rebate for the paint jobs on thier tanks, cranes, dust collectors, millions of miles of duct work, etc., I should have never used a three part epoxy to treat the rust after needle gunning and/or sandblasting, and cover it with a 15 mil dry high-gloss industrial finishing system, I would have been much better off using a 3-5 mil dry automotive finishing system, then it would only have lasted 6 months, instead of 5 years and counting with only minimal surface corrosion from particulates in the industrial enviornment https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif



The industrial finishing system carried over to the fender wells = no rust, guaranteed, but what do I know, I'm just a dumb ass painter

your comparing a industrial 3 part coating to something he wants to pick up in Pep Boys?



you should have stated what you were talking about from the start



****- while we are at it, why not use a piece of titanium and call it a day.

89rag, what was the name of the product? I should be able to source that in Canada's biggest city no problem (I hope).

Pittsburg paint offers a DTR epoxy that will produce the same results as the three part for half the money, a half gallon kit will be enough to do all four wells

if your going 2 part epoxy then you could also go with US PAINT AwlGrip 545 grey mil spec self etching epoxy primer
