Yeah, I should have spent more time on Dr Colorchip and didn't know about their squeegee method. Its always 20/20 after the fact tho Boy, I'm glad I didn't sand more than one of the bigger chips.. This thread is a great how to, on how not to rather

Iv always thought "cleaning" rust away required sanding. Is Iron X and 3000 grit enough to "clean" and neutralize the rust before primer and paint? Man do I wish my truck was white! Yeah, and I paid a rust free price only to learn it needs a paint job!

Wow I really underestimated how much effort this repair will take! 1/8" disks are to big to sand many of my chips. Feels like I'm fighting a loosing battle and should have temporarily sealed off and slowed the rust with fluid film before having it professionally painted. Ouch!$ Or can I apply...

Hey people. I wanted to add a update before I start to touch up the chips. I cut short pieces of 1/8" wooden dowel and superglued 220 disks to the ends. Its easily controllable and seems to work great to sand a chip. I will make some 400 grit "sanding dowels" next. Then clean it with Iron...

Thanks allot for that itsgn.. I ordered both Iron X paste and ospho.. I'm ordering the touch up kit from automotivetouchup instead of dr color chip and have their DT2703 which is my PFA base, some primer, and clear coat in cart. But do I really need clear coat for a DD? And would you use a...

That video is for new chips that weren't rusting, and a porsche.. Mines a DD cummins with pitted rust that even though I know my touch up job will probably look like crap, I'm more concerned with killing the rust and still curious how Iron X (ammonium thioglycolate acid) removes the rust, while...

The only thing I question is the size of the sand paper disk. Thats way to big imo. And he should have taped off the good paint with a tiny hole in the tape.. I think I'm going to get Iron X Paste, but neither Dr Colorchip or automotivetouchup.com relied to a email sent asking about paint...

Here's a video. YouTube

Thanks itsgn! I'll assume when you say "iron remover" you mean a rust neutralizer like skyco's ospho? The paint code is PFA, but Dr Color Chip doesn't list PFA as a 1997 truck color.. I haven't asked a dodge dealer yet, but as a daily driver I would much prefer touch up paint because...

Hello. I just bought a clean 97 dodge cummins, but it has many chips on the front that are rusting. Is Dr Color Chip a good way to approach my DD repair, and why doesn't dr color chip list my "light driftwood satin glow" Paint Code PFA? Is this touch up color going to be difficult to...
