Re: Frame Epoxy Cracking

["David Teitelbaum <jtrealty@xxxx>" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

You are right to be concerned about rusting of the frame on Long 
Island (you are surrounded by the Ocean-salt water is VERY bad). The 
best thing you can do now is just get some kind of rust preventitive 
spray and just drench the frame for the time being. Try to park the 
car on pavement to prevent the moisture from the ground going up into 
the car. Cover it well and make sure that it is tightly covered so no 
small animals can crawl in. When the weather improves remove all the 
loose epoxy by chipping or scrapping it off. Sand the metal to remove 
any rust and feather the edges and then paint with Krylon "Smoke 
Grey". Since you say the epoxy is bad in front it is very common for 
the brake master cylinder to leak causing the brake fluid AKA paint 
remover to soften the epoxy. When you fix the master cylinder and dry 
the epoxy it isn't bonded to the metal anymore so it cracks and comes 
off. Make sure the master cylinder isn't leaking anymore before fixing 
the paint on the frame or it will just damage it again.
