Renovation and aerodynamic improvement of a BPW closed trailer

[GuyGadeboisTheBack]

I did 350000 terminals with my Xantia HDI 110 until a friend burst it into a boar.

Anti-rust from the back done...I'm attacking the rear bulkheads...

[Macro]

Did you put your rustproofing directly on your "black" tubes or did you bleach them?

[Christophe]

Um...I brushed it a bit with a wire brush and I bleached where I welded (the most important points for corrosion)!

There's nothing on the box that says you have to whitewash everything with this (old) Sigma anti-rust paint...the sealed jar must be at least 20 years old given the design!

[Macro]

In industry either we let rust then light sanding or we bleach and paint. Our new steel if you paint them as sold you start again 3 years later ...

[Christophe]

It was already rusty in places that's why I brushed!

I was planning to put a layer of "real" paint on it afterwards, eh... since I bought the multi-material V33 yesterday (compatible with the spray gun)

[Macro]

I can guarantee you that a stripping worthy of the name makes the difference on the resistance over time... The scrap metal must have a roughness to allow the primer to grip... But hey, I'm talking about installations which are exterior with a ten-year coating guarantee ... Some of which have been painted for 40 years....

[Christophe]

Well, it's still safe there... except for the bottom of the body... well, I'll put 2 finishing coats on it then!

[Macro]

Condensation Christophe...It's worse than anything...

[Christophe]

Wet and See Macro!
