Hi,

I am refreshing my new H2 and trying to to remove all rust while i wait for my new brake lines to come in. I have sanded my bumper, roll bar and nerf bars, then coated with rust converter. They are rust pitted and don't look too great after the first two coats of rustoleum finish. I tried matte and satin. I have tried a duplicolor primer filler, rustoleum hammered finish, but none cover.

Can anyone recommend anything that would work well in hiding the defects besides ordering a $200+ bedliner kit? Also is bedliner any good as i read it traps moisture.

I did similar for my entire underboady/frame with rust converter and now ready to spray with rustoleum matte black rust paint. If anyone has any objections, please speak up

 

My nerf bars were also very bad


So I had them shot blasted and black powder coated, they couldn't look better.


Process was quite cheap and saved a lot of work and effort. Also had my rear wheel carrier done at the same time.

Also replaced all the stainless tube nuts which were rusted and impossible to undo without breaking.
