Need Help Touching Up Body Door Frame

[Billy Jack]

Billy Jack- Did you ever use the old 3M Rust Avenger? That was one Rust Converter that really worked great...like, every single time. Zero issues with it, well.. other than its being discontinued.

Nope, never tried it. I`ve used both Permatex and Rust Oleum`s stuff and what I didn`t like is that it wouldn`t bond to either clean metal or surrounding paint. I know guys who have used both SEM and Eastwoods converter with success, but I`d rather just stick with the Encapsulator unless it`s really nasty.
BTW, POR 15 says no topcoating unless you use their proprietary Tie-coat primer and I did have some delam issues when I tried to cheat. KBS states that there`s a "window" in the drying process when it will allow topcoats or primers to bond. I`ve done a bunch of undercarriage parts that way, shooting satin black over KBS on my Camino and they`ve held up for 8-9 years so far.

Billy Jack- Ah, thanks for the info. IF I ever get to the point of topcoating my RustSeal I`ll probably hit it with their Fusion primer. Which reminds me how nice it is that Rust Encapsulator is UV-stable, but I`ve gone with the RustSeal on the Crown Vic`s undercarriage because it somehow strikes me as being the toughest such product out there.

I definitely need to adjust the door so it comes up a bit. I’m all thumbs mechanically, but I may be able to change the tension in the upper hinge screw.

Yeah, the Tahoe needs new hinge pins/bushings...just not getting it to my guys, nor looking forward to what will inevitably happen to the doors` clear when they manhandle it.
