Today after my lectures I came home prepared to finish the last bibs and bobs left to be prepared for the rear subframe. I first started by giving the rubber donuts a good clean by using the wire brush attachment on an electric drill. This removed the lose rust but paint and rust where still left. I then used a sanding attachment to sand down the remaining rust and paint. The bare metal was finally showing and I was done of sanding. I then painted a layer of rust converter which removed the remaining layer of rust and I had a nice shiny metal finish. And the prep of my rubber donuts was finally finished.
The mini suspension cones where prepped in a similar fashion. I removed the under seal and all the layers of paint with a spatula. A good clean with a wire brush immediately gave a good shiny finish as no rust was present due to the fact that they are not mad of metal but aluminum.
I then cleaned the surface with a detergent and painted on the first layer of etch primer I will paint the high zinc base coat and finish in the next couple of days.
