And “Fluid Film” rustproofing users here

[pittsburghracer]

I recently bought a gallon and have an application gun in my Amazon cart. But today while changing front brakes on my 2003 Chevy Malibu I figured I would brush on some on my front suspension while the wheels were off. I stirred it like the instructions recommended but man is this stuff thick. There’s no way you could spray this stuff through even a big orfice spray gun. What’s up with that. Is it always this thick.

Yes stir it until you can’t take it and it takes a while for application, use the gun it does the best work.

So I guess I didn’t stir it enough. I give it another go. Thanks.

 

[Mr. Sinister]

You bought the fluid film application gun right? Don’t leave it where it can get cold that thickens it up too.

I've only ever used it in a rattle can, but it works pretty well.

I have it in my cart. It comes with the spray tubes so I can reach into my truck bed quarter panels too.

The aerosol can sprays like a ****. I love the stuff. I have several things shot with it for long term storage so it doesn't rust.

I painted the bed of our shop truck at work with some industrial paint.
I used the rest on my Cuda.

I tried paint but for a winter daily with this dog gone salt brine they use I need more protection. I’m pissed off I let my 2006 dodge diesel go. I have major body work to do on it.

If you need rust repair, good luck finding a shop that’ll do it. Most body shops only wanna do insurance collision work.
As for the paint I used on my car… Save on the bill, shop at the mill.

I’ll do the rust repair. I took three 12 week Autobody classes and have done repairs and painting before. I don’t pay to have much done.

Any Fluid Film I’ve seen in a spray can is lubricant like WD40. Kim

Yeah, I agree, Kim.
I never knew they made anything other than the lubricant.
You learn something new every day around here!

A spray gun will not work with it it should be almost a undercoating gun.

 

[pittsburghracer]

This is the gun I have in my cart and the Fluid Film I bought.

 

[barbee6043]

I have some undercoating guns, they have no nozzel, it is just an open tube maybe 1/4 inch diameter. They just screw onto a plastic bottle like BodySchultz comes in. Work great and cheap.
Be sure to have the air pressure set right.

Ya we have a guy in Monroville Pa about 30 miles from us that is very possible. I’m just to cheap to pay someone for something I can do.
