cleaning rust off a rear beam - Iaitoo - 05-02-2016
Bought a disc beam from the UK.
No camber, 20% of the price I would have paid here in Norway. Nice!
It has a little bit of rust. Mainly on the arms or what its called. The ones that go from the beam to the disc and a little bit on both ends of the beam. Want to clean it up before I put it on the car.
Plan is to buy some rust eater, that chemically binds with the rust and stops it. Should I prime after, or could I just paint it with Hammerite after the treatment?
Or should I use a rust remover in stead of the eater?
What do you usually do when you buy a used beam?

I usually just put them on. Lol. No prep no nothing. Its under the car you cant see it.
On my own beams though wire wheel them down and paint. I use hammerite

Bought a wire wheel today. Skipped the rust eater. I know I wont see it. But I want to try and make it last. Hehe. Thanks Bash. Ps. Get a new car soon!
