Disassembled cleaned and coated my nationals with por-15. Also made some plates to install between the leafs to stop the squeaking and give it a little lift.

Turned out great, makes me want to do this with my WSI's they are in a similar state no garage kinda makes it a PITA though.

You could prob. Get away with a grinder and a wire wheel and a good degreaser. Then use some metal etch/dissolver and just paint the outside. The dissolver at local parts store is the same as the por But the por is
More expensive.

I have a lot of the dissolver left, I would just need a can of the paint. Need to redo my knuckles anyway so will probably order some next week.

Once you open the can it's pretty much done for. There's no saving the xtra. I
Only used a qt. for two coats. But if you need more than a qt. by two qt. cans and not

I autocrossed mine last week at Shelbyfest. Some chick in a Mustang asked someone from BFG what my time was, (37 on that run...forgot to lock the rear locker) and responded with "I am faster than that!" At which point BFG schooled her in the fact that the Raptor is wider, has more body roll and that I was pulling turns with only 3 tires on the ground. LOL Next run I tied her.
