Painting my outriggers

[Seandenyer]

I'm going to be painting my outriggers this weekend with epoxy mastic 121, is there anything I should be wary of or has anybody got any tips or is just a matter of going over with a wire brush and painting.

Cheers everyone, will have to start tomorrow now as started to spit with rain :-(

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.

If you want to get waxoil off without the drill, the you won't go far wrong with Mistral Industrial Degreaser: http://mistralie.co.uk/products/heavy-duty-industr...

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!

I like the sound of that way
