applied a coat of paint to the rear crash bar mount area last night. I’ll probably only do one coat, it covers well and went on thick. It doesn’t have to be perfect, and color matching isn’t critical as you won’t see the area once the crash bar and bumper cover are installed.

Update: Spoke to someone at corroseal, they told me to wait for the corroseal to fully cure for 2-3 days before painting over it. Told me to test it with a fingernail and if it doesn’t leave an indentation when pressed on then it is ready to paint. It has been quite humid where I am, so I’m...

Painted the rear bumper bar and prepared the rear body of the car for paint. I used Corroseal after wiring wheeling all of the loose rust from the rear of the body. All the areas that turned black is where the corroseal found leftover rust that was left behind after wire wheeling. The...

I have not. Looking from underneath the car there does appear to be a little bit of rust on the exterior of the crash bar. I’ll probably address it when I install a FMIC later on down the road. currently waiting for the paint to dry on top of the rear crash bar so I can flip it over and paint...

Wire wheeled all the loose rust off of the bumper today. Washed it with soapy water and let it dry. Then hit it with 2 cans of rustoleum rust reformer. Gonna let it cure overnight before I hit it with some rustoleum industrial enamel.

I have heard of the deep creep by sea foam. Thanks!

Any particular fluid film i should use?

The compatibility with the paint and corroseal has me worried. I’ll have to do more research to confirm. I’ve got a half face 3M respirator laying around somewhere, I’ll have to get some cartridges for it

I’ve read that if POR15 is not prepared EXACTLY as it should be, then it will peel. I’ve been reading about a product called Corroseal. I’m thinking about sanding/ wire brushing most if not all of the rust down, then cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, then I will apply corroseal to the areas (to...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but... I recently purchased an 09 MS3, for some reason it had a receiver hitch bolted to the bumper. In order to remove the hitch I had to pull the rear bumper cover. Throughout the process I noticed some rust here and there. Such as; the bumper...

Thanks!

Ok, I guess I’ll wait a little longer to see if they get the black ones back in stock

Thanks! They don’t make them in white do they?

In time yes. There are rock chips here and there as well as other minor cosmetic issues I’d like to address first before I move on to modifying it. It will be modified later on, but I’d still like to keep it very reliable. Even in that blurry pic it’s that noticeable lol. Yeah it’s got some...
