Did you treat the rust before installing the flares, or just install over top the rust and hope it doesn't spread above the flare?

I didn't have actual rust, they were beginning to bubble just installed over it without treating. They fit perfect hope this helps!!

Mine did not fit so I can not answer question plus Amozon did not reply when I sent them back

what i did was grind down all along where the flare would cover and painted it 3 coats of primer 3 coats of paint close to match my original color and then took new oil and ran it along the new paint work and inside the rust holes after the paint dried obviously and then installed the flares. its been like 6 months and no rust is spreading so i hope it workes

I too have the rust problem above the rear wheel openings, and need the flares to cover at least three inches above the wheel openings. How high do these reach?

I Used A Thick Coat Of Rustolium Paint Brushed On Over The Rust Before Installing.

The grill can rust,plus you want to keep the electrical parts of it dry.Its in your best interest to cover it.

I spray it with cooking spray before each use and wash it with dishsoap and water afterwards, let it air dry in the rack and it looks as new as when I bought it. No rust problems.

I use a sponge in warm soapy water. And then I only wipe off the prongs at the end. Have not had any rust. Dry immediately.

I also have a rust problem and found the best method is to install a prefilter upstream of this one. Use one of the white string wound type filters. It helps this filter last longer. Otherwise, you get about a month or so of use.

I have done it. I rub it good and rub with a paper towel to season it , stick in a oven and heat it up to season it. I If it gets a spot of rust take the oil and sea salt and rub it good, will remove the rust.

I have only owned the fence for a year, but left it out all winter, and have not noticed any rust.If you're concerned, you could always spray them with rustoleum.

I haven't. Flares really shouldn't be a problem as you are only extending the distance from the rear element to the sensor. My setup doesn't exhibit that problem

I haven't actually installed my rain chain yet. I bought some special coating to apply so that the copper stays bright, and I haven't had time to polish the chain and apply the coating yet. Also, we have vinyl rain gutters... so there is not an issue of two metals causing corrosion.

The Bedrug will cause rust over time if installed over a previously scratched survace. I recommend treating any scratches with sealer or rust inhibitor first.

You could use a pump sprayer, but a brush also works and there isn't any overspray. A little goes a long ways in my experience. It depends on the square footage of your fence and how bad the rust is, but I wouldn't start with more than 2 quarts. It turns the treated areas white, so you may want to paint it, but it works great.

YES to this question......I had a problem with rust spots coming thru the chrome in less than 1 month.

We contacted Rust O Leum too and we didn't get a response. I have no idea to remove it, wish I could be of help. We are very disappointed with the product!

The post by gmcda gives some good advice. My 97 Chevy Tahoe had lots of rust on the exhaust. I was able to salvage my studs by using a rust dissolving catalyst spray called PB Blaster the night before. The next morning, I resprayed before I set out the tools. I used an impact wrench and I had all the studs out in minutes. Low torque is the key to not breaking the studs. Now, heat is king for removing rusty parts if you have it. The kit comes with new bolts and gasket for the rear flange so I used a sawzall to cut those bolts out by cutting right through the old rear flange gasket. Getting the exhaust plug and the drilling were the longest part of the project. The post by gmcda gives some good advice. My 97 Chevy Tahoe had lots of rust on the exhaust.

I did. The item has a coating on it to prevent it from rusting. Wash well with soap and water, let dry and it should be fine.

Here is their contact info. I would ask them directly. (I have rust spots bleeding through my paint from last year, but chalked that up to not getting it all off, and having spray shooting up underneath from puddles.) http://bondo.com/contact-us

I seasoned my new wok as instructed then cooked my first meal. Got a little burnt on bottom so let it soak a bit then washed. I noticed lines up sides from pulling the veggies up the side (with wood spoon). After cleaning and drying I notice what appears to be rust... I can scrape off with nail. Guess will try the oil spread. Just seems odd..
