Re: [DML] Stainless rusting thoughts...

[kKoncelik@xxxxxxx]

Depending on the type of stainless its tendency to rust varies
some types of stainless are better than others.  In our case with the  cars 
it is unlikely that we will ever have to be concerned with rust.
 
Grinding will not diminish the properties and yes you can prep  stainless for 
paint.
 
I used to work for a company that made stainless steel splice closures for  
telephone  lines. These are the ones you see hanging on telephone lines  that 
are shiny (stainless) They also got burried. In certain environments where  
there is ground currents due to acidic or highly alkiline soils it rusts  out 
just like regular steel.  I have seen them reduced to a pile of  rust.
Not often but it does happen. 
 
So Stainless can rust in certain conditions
 
I learned a lot about stainless.  We used 318 stainless. and I have a  whole 
different appreciation for stainless because of it.  Actually it was  part  of 
the reason I bought a D.
