Hello All
I have been doing some maintenance and I noticed that on my 2017 2552, PC never painted the step well. It had some heavy surface rust on it. I started looking at the frame rails and out riggers. They as well were developing some surface rust especially where the frame rails were extended. I thought, in one of PC's video's Earl said they powder coated the frame where the extensions were. Well mine isn't powder coated. Anyhow it looks like I need to get busy on the underside of this coach.
I was wondering if anyone else's step well box was not painted. If yours is like mine you might want to do a little, prep, prime and painting action.
My re-coating of the frame rails etc. is going to go like this:
1. Clean and remove the loose rust
2. Apply Ospho to all rusted areas and let dry overnight
3. Spray Eastwoods black rust encapsulator on all areas that need it
4. Then undercoat frame rails, outriggers and anything else that gets in my way with Eastwoods Amber Heavy Duty Anti Rust. This stuff is great, I have used it on several restorations and it works. It reminds me of Rusty Jones undercoating you could get back 30 years ago. It is like a wax petroleum base.
Once the petroleum evaporates out it leaves this waxy coating that actually heals itself if scratched, and it doesn't peel off like Zebart after 5 years.
Just figured I would throw it out there and see if anybody else has the issues, and if so how have you solved them?
