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.

@@BaptistJoshua I get that. I was worried about it too. Depending on your vehicle, maybe you wouldn’t have to worry about it. My big thing was if the rust proofing degraded some rubber trim or seals over time, those parts are cheap to replace. But once the body starts to rust, the clock is ticking. For what it’s worth, I coated everything I could inside and out and I’ve never had any rubber fall apart on me and I started using fluid film 5 years ago.

Anyone have any bad experience using it with mowers, saws, or trimmers? Wondering if it could harm certain plants...

Fluid film can be applied directly to a tightly adhering rusted surface. If there is loose flake we recommend removing that so the product can penetrate to the base and stop it from progressing. We recommend applying our film directly to the rust or clean metal as converters can encapsulate rust and progress it.

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!)

Can you apply Fluid-Film over a dry layer of POR-15 and would washing the undercarriage with a power washer weekly over the winter cause the Fluid-Film to come off? Thanks !

Hi Alvin, Thank you for your interest in FLUID FILM®. You can apply FLUID FILM® over POR-15 but it in not necessary to paint the surface because FLUID FILM® was designed to be applied over bare metal. We do not recommend pressure washing the undercarriage once FLUID FILM® is applied. FLUID FILM® is a wet coating and spraying it with a pressure washer will start to remove the product. If you want to clean the undercarriage you can use regular hose pressure. FLUID FILM® is not water soluble so any debris on top of the product will wash off and the product will stay behind. If you have any other questions please let us know. Best Regards, -FLUID FILM® Team

The smell should dissipate in 48 hours. Parking it outside for one night can help it air out after application.

With all that spraying, you're bound to have a little overspray on your disc brakes. (I speak from experience) because my rear brakes squeak under load, is there a way to clean the stuff off? I've already tried brake cleaner.

Fluid Film contains no solvents, silicone or Teflon so it is body shop safe. Our product does not harm a finished paint and can be removed by washing with warm water a pressure washer and a degreaser. Warm water and dish soap can be used to clean the gun if it will not be used for a longer period of time. If you would like more information about becoming an undercoater send us an email to sales@fluid-Film.com and we can further assist you.

The only difference between the aerosol and bulk is the propellant in the can. They will preform equally.

I wanted to rehab the underbody of my Nissan Xterra and was going to use the Rustoleum Rust Reformer. Can I apply FF over that to ensure future protection or will that degrade rust reformers? Also, there are water based and oil based rust reformers from Rustoleum. Will either of those degrade with FF?

Hello Adam, Fluid Film does work as an extra layer over most rust converters. as long as it is a non porous surface it should be fine. with new products we always recommend doing a small test section before applying a full coating to ensure there will be no negative effects.

In general what parts under the car can be coated and what do you want to stay away from ? Is it safe to spray bushings ?
@fluidfilmusa
@fluidfilmusa 10 ай бұрын
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.

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
@fluidfilmusa
@fluidfilmusa Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.
