12 November 2017 - corrosion control - purchased front grille pieces


After letting the driver and passenger side headlight adjuster rings, passenger side headlight door mounting bracket soak for a few more hours, I cleaned up the pieces to check the progress.  The rust is being dealt with very well, but areas that have paint, not so well.  So I used an aerosol can of paint remover, for about forty five minutes and most of the paint has been removed from the parts.  The parts are now soaking in Evapo-rust.  I will check on them in about 6 hours.

As soon as those parts are clean enough I will prep and paint the parts with Rustoleum Rust Reformer.  And put them aside until the spring when the weather is warmer and painting will be better.

Its 8:30pm and the parts are looking much better than they did three days ago.

Most of the paint has dissolved and the rust us almost completely removed from all pieces.  I will let the parts soak overnight.
