undercoating process

[Back in a Bowtie]

So im already having some very minor surface rust start popping up from the lovely winter we had. Before i start hitting the beach for the summer i want to recoat everything possible underneath. My plan was to roll/brush on bed liner (avoiding any bolts for future work). My question is:

 

Should i try to strip the waxy factory coating first?

or will the bed liner harden up over the top and end the peelability (is that a word?)

Your factory wax coating is peeling because it was applied to surface rust and does not stick. So brushing anything on top of it will not prevent it from coming off.

You asked the same question in the other thread so Im just gonna cut and paste my answer

 

Absolutely sand and paint. I've done many frames and I'm in the industry, I work at a place called Rondex here.

Best way to go is to sand prime paint and clearcoat that is the best way to make it last. Everything else is a temporary fix, simply spraying this with Rust encapsulator wont last more then 2 years in the northern climate.
