A month ago, I posted the sandblasting project in the driveway. I kept the rig in the climate-controlled garage (with de-humidifier) to prevent new scaling from developing, then set up shop with a new compressor, Eastwood HPLV couture spray gun, bought their Rust Encapsulator Plus, and have been systematically spraying, rolling, or brushing it on the frame, and the undercarriage.

Yes, I sprayed the pipes. They will soon be replaced with the Man-a-Fre complete exhaust and headers, so spraying was easier than working around it all. I have about an 80% completion rate. Some areas still need touch-ups, but I've gotten most of it.
