Tilt & trim rusting

[Zdenk01]

Hi Raiders,

Ive tried once to clean & paint, as you can see it didnt work.

just wondering if anyone has done this & what did they use.

trim still works, just trying to fix this before it becomes an issue.

cheers

Did u do it in place or did you remove it. Im sure removed you could give it a real good clean with a wire wheel and prime then paint using killrust type products. You could use a dremel if u are going to clean it in place.

use a rust converter than paint with black kill rust paint and that will be the end of the rust

Hi mate, I did mine about a year ago, sanded it back to bare metal, painted it with a rust converter to get rid of the last bits of rust, then painted with a killrust type paint and I have not had an issue since. Just make sure you get the whole unit covered to ensure that the rust is kept at bay. Also, fit a battery isolator if not done already so you dint have an issue with current sppeding up corrossion.
