So I've got some parts that look like this, with the pitting and little rust spots:
I'm using PPG's stuff for the paint job (DP90LF, K36, Deltron, etc) and media blasting is kind of out of the question. I am planning on using DX579/DX520 metal cleaner and conditioner on panels like this to neutralize/remove/convert the rust down in the tiny pits.
Kind of just looking for peace of mind here, since it's amateur hour and I don't want to have adhesion problems with the epoxy.
Is this an appropriate situation to use DX579/DX520 or do I need to go with another method of dealing with the rust? I don't think going harder with a DA sander will work and using a clean-n-strip disc won't really do it.
Has anybody out there used acid treatments for removing/neutralizing rust in a paint job?
