hi all, with the SIP order and all that's going on, I figured it'd be the best time to do a quick clean up on my sliders. I've had these JCR sliders for about 10 years and they've been great but they're are a bit beat, with some surface rust but not completely destroyed. Here's what I did to clean them up, all for under $40
I started with a wash, and cleaned them up with some acetone (I got the big jug since I was out), then hit the rusty spots with some Loctite Rust Neutralizer and finished them off with some flat black acrylic enamel.
here's some of the surface rust that was on my sliders and the lower front bumper:
After spraying the rust nutralizer, the metal turns a light shade of black:
And then with some areas taped off, I hit it with the rattle can.
Overall pretty happy with the results. Though I know these parts will get beat up over time, it's nice to have something resembling new.
