He Came Up With A Way To Stop Rust On Old Pickup

He Came Up With A Way To Stop Rust On Old Pickup PICKUPS Miscellaneous “My 1990 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup was covered with rust at the bottom on both sides I didn’t want to trade it in so I came up with a way to use spray-on insulation to paint over the rust and seal out moisture so it can’t reach the metal This method lets me keep a vehicle going for many more years ” says Kenny Hinnenkamp Melrose Minn He first experimented with the idea 8 years ago on one of the pickup’s fenders using a special plastic tool he made to apply the insulation Then 2 years ago he replaced a much bigger area of rust on the body where the metal was completely gone He first used Styrofoam insulation to fill in the rusted-out holes and then covered the Styrofoam with the spray-on insulation Both ideas have worked so well that he recently began providing “how to” plans “It lets anyone do their own rust prevention body work for $300 to $600 instead of spending up to $8 000 at a body shop ” says Hinnenkamp “Your vehicle should be able to go another 10 years without rust forming I painted a rusty fender on my pickup 8 years ago and I haven’t seen one bit of rust since then so I know it lasts ” He says the spray-on insulation “seal coats” metal to keep out moisture and is salt-resistant so once it’s on there’s no way for moisture or salt to cause corrosion “Spray-on insulation isn’t supposed to be painted over but I found the substance is paintable so I can paint it a different color any time I want ” says Hinnenkamp Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Kenny Hinnenkamp 33056 County Road 30 Melrose Minn 56352 ph 320 256-3832
