That's an airless sprayer probably for line striping parking lots. They pressurize the paint to 3100 psi. GRACO makes them. They can be costly. they have all different tips for spray width and volume. Good thing about these when they are spraying paint in a parking lot they will remove alot of dust while it's spraying . They blast pretty well but are expensive.

14s dont have grommets, ford used clear tape on the inside of the rocker. Getting it to the cab corners is tricky, theres a pinkie sized hole you can feel for through the last hole that goes to outside of corner, if you really want to get to inside of corner, and i would, drill an access hole on the backside. Brake light leaks so get a decent new gasket if not to late and sunroof drains into them also. Had to weld a patch on driver side but got lucky on other side. And that foam in the wheel wells needs to be removed then soakm good. Its not spongy but still holds moisture, i put some in a glass of water and it wound up staying wet for a while.

I see the recommendation for yearly application. Is this due to any evaporation of the FF or just due to regular driving in rain, dust, snow/salt that will wear it thinner in some places? The vehicle I want to spray should only see about 4000 miles per year and only in the spring/summer/fall so it won’t see road salt or brine. But we do live near the coast so there is salt in the air. Do you think I’d be able to get away with only applying every 3 or 4 years instead of annually? (Not holding anyone to their answers...just looking for honest opinions - thanks!)

Fluid Film is solvent free so it can be used on oil-resistant rubbers such as bushings, motor mounts, brake lines, and cv boots. The main areas to avoid are disc brakes (our product is a lubricant also) and the exhaust components (high temps will cause the product to smoke off). If you accidentally coat the brakes some brake part cleaner and a rag will remove it. For the exhaust wiping the excess with a rag is fine. We also recommend avoiding the weather stripping inside doors as it is typically foam or an untreated rubber. As long as the product is wiped off in a few minutes it should not cause any issues.

Could you suggest appropriate sprayers or spec that works best with your product. Thanks !

We offer an undercoating kit through Napa Auto and O’reilleys with a part number FFSG. Other than that most airless (electric) paint sprayers will work. Gracie and Lemmers both have a line of undercoating systems to handle our products.

I just bought a gallon to do my truck chassis, when I opened the can it was like one solid mass of wet glue, I stirred it for about 10 minutes and it never changed viscosity, it doesn’t look like it would spray like in this video, do I have a bad can or to old to use? Can I thin it? What do I use to thin it with? Thanks

Fluid film is thixotropic and typically returns to its original state when mixed. You can add in a bit of any vegetable oil to help thin it without harming the performance if it is too thick.

When spraying with an Air Compressor,do you need to use a water filter (like when spray painting) when applying this product

William Green hello William, we have not had issues spraying without a moisture filter.

Does fluid film damage rubber bushings ? Sway bar bushings, lower control arm, sway bar end links, Strut dust boot? Etc? Does it cause expanding ?
@fluidfilmusa3 жыл бұрын
Fluid Film does not harm oil-resistant rubbers. All of those components are typically oil resistant and are unharmed.

Could someone tell me what to avoid while spraying?

Ghost- Face basically just the disk brakes and exhaust components. If there is any overspray on these areas it can be removed with a rag and a solvent like brake part cleaner.

So this product won't attract dirt and look like crap when. It drips out of drain holes in doors,hoods,and trunk?
@fluidfilmusa3 жыл бұрын
Fluid Film is a wet coating and can get a surface dusting of dirt. As the product is solvent free it does not get tacky like other wet coatings and the dirt often can be rinsed off without removing the coating.

Does cold temperature matter when applying? What if the car is already wet?
@fluidfilmusa4 жыл бұрын
Fred Rasmussen Hello, Fluid Film can be applied at any temperature but recommend the product itself is at a room temperature to make spraying easier. Fluid Film can be applied on a damp surface but not wet. Most shops will use a leaf blower or compressed air to dry the frame before application. As a wet coating there is no cure time needed before driving.

How does this stuff hold up to power washing? I like to power wash and clean my truck Atleast once a week (in winter) due to the amount of salt thrown down here in illinios.
@fluidfilmusa3 жыл бұрын
As a wet coating we do not recommend using a pressure washer. If you wish to rinse your frame, standard hose pressure will rinse off the top layer of brine without blasting the protection off. Salts/ Brines do not need to be washed off as they do not penetrate our product.
