Painting my outriggers
Discussion
Don't press on too hard as if your outriggers are rotten from the tops which you cant see unless you lift the body then the rotary wire brush will rip through the steel so slowly slowly catch a monkey progress. Good luck. And as been said get your PPE on including a face mask if you have it and a hood as lumps of old wax oil gets everywhere.

. I used the wire brush attachment for my drill, I found that you can vary the speed/ power easier. My car was on trolley jack so I visions of wire brushing my face of with the angle grinder, the drill is much safer. I also found that the wire wheel type attachment worked best, it made it a lot easier holding the drill flat.

Paint it on, leave for twenty mins and then scrub off. Re-apply a couple if times whilst you're cleaning and the chassis will clean up nicely. It is very messy though. After the degreaser, I used Xylene thinners and the chassis came up spotless. Just sand to key, then wipe with thinners again before you paint.
The wire/ drill method is good, but the chassis will still need cleaning down, plus it spits the stuff everywhere.
Just an alternative!
