Under Body Rust (7 Viewers)

[dpeshkin]

I have an 80 and 100 both are getting surface rust on the underbody, worse on the 100. Nothing structual, just unsightly and I would like to get it cleaned and coated before winter. Does anyone have a referral for a shop that can do this in the Bay Area, preferrably in the North Bay? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance! -Da

Do you live/park close to the Ocean?

Post up some photos showing the rust/undercarriage.

I live about 15 Miles from the ocean. These are pics of the 100. The 80 is minor. Five picture limit.

Need someone to remove the rust first.

Dry Ice blasting is one option, ask/search for someone in your area that offers that service:

I'd just power wash it and apply Fluid Film. That rust is called patina if you go to the right Concours D'Elegance.

I'd like to get rust off somehow before treating with fluid film. There has to be somewhere that can take care of this.

Might not be common to have shops like this in SF. Best options would be dry ice blasting or media blasting. Just be aware that media blasting will strip the coating off things like brake lines where the coating looks good.

I have been, from body shops to specialty. Referrals are appreciated.

I just got a quote for dry-ice for $3-5,000. I can't explain how excited I am.

Try this company:

Dry Ice Detailing Pros, LLC

DETAIL | RESTORE | PROTECT

dryicedetailingpros.com

Maybe try contacting (liquid/compressed) Carbon Dioxide supply companies, ask them if they have any clients who use it to remove rust??
Might help to walk up to the counter to ask, they may not want to give out customer info over the phone

Idk bay area, but I had a friend go with Ice blast + dinitrol, and man it looks awesome. Very spendy, but probably the best way to protect + extended underside health...

If you really want to take care of the rust, dry ice is the move.

Sounds about right. I was quoted $3800 for mine and it's pretty close to what yours looks like.
