I Would be concerned about paint issues resulting from WD use. What do you guys use to get it off when getting ready for paint?

I not treating rust with it, only preserving clean steel until painting.

Thank you. I had a look at that and looks to be more for keeping steel bare without any future painting or only other paint over rust products.

I would try Gibbs Lube if you want go a year without paint, it has no bad shit in it and can be painted over. Worth looking up and reading about. http://www.phenixindustries.com.au/g...and-australia/ This link is just one place to buy, I think there are cheaper places than this.

Yes, understood. Just try as I describe when it's time to remove it for painting. After you think you've got it all off, grab a wire wheel in a drill, whatever, and see if any dust flies. If it does, that's the left over residue. |

I asked about the paint because I heard some paint shops won’t even allow one can of WD 40 in their building and I have fought fisheyes before. Very frustrating.

I found a few sellers on eBay and including postage down to $26.50 a can if you buy 6. I have no idea how many I would need to do the cab and chassis and later on the bed?

Gojeep, we use Picklex20 at the shop. Works quick and if used on metal clean enough to paint, it gives a nice soft glow to the metal which reduces glare and takes lovely photos. By the way, I still have not been back to the piece on which I intend to try your technique that I asked about. So no report. Don't hesitate to ask if you wish to see different photo edits. Have a good day, both of you.

It's a pain to take off it, or any acid treatment for that matter and I don't understand why metal guys feel the need to do it. All of the various metal treatments say it doesn't need to be removed but all the paint manufacturers say it does. There is so much snake oil marketing out there (not specifically referring to picklex) but they are all phosphoric acid based including Picklex Picklex marketers don't even know or understand paint chemistry because they specifically say that self etch primer can't be used, when that is the one type of primer that can used over a phosphoric acid treatment without rinsing. Bottom line is if you plan on using a quality modern automotive epoxy primer, the only thing you want to apply it over is clean 80 grit machine sanded(DA/Orbital) steel. 180 grit if you are working with aluminum. Any metal treatment that is not removed will result in paint failure at some point down the road. https://picklex20.com/wp-content/upl...icklex-201.pdf
