hey guys welcome back to the garage since i've been doing all these projects on my
car i've got everything taken apart so this is a really good time to repaint
and re-coat all the suspension components especially on my is-300 here which spent
like half its life up in virginia so some of the suspension components are all rusted and
corroded and over the years i think the previous owner that i had before kind of
coated it but some of that great paint is kind of wearing off so today what i'm going to do is
i'm going to prep it all since i've already got it all taken apart i'm gonna prime it and
then i'm gonna just hit it with some rattle can just to reseal the spindle and the dust shield
and some of the other suspension components i've got taken apart right now so stay tuned
so what i got here is my front two spindles which have signs of corrosion and they've been
coated a couple times with spray paint but they're starting to peel off so i'm going to go ahead and
hit that with a flat disc just to get rid of that and prep it a little bit i had those
dust shields for my brake conversion that i trimmed so i could fit my big breaks on there
so i've got those trimmed up and everything so this the edges aren't sharp anymore that one i i
grinded hit with the flat disc a little bit on all the sharp edges just to get it clean i'm gonna hit
that with a little bit scratch bright to prep it this one i'm going to hit with that flat disc like
i said to clean up all that then once i hit there with the flatness i'll clean it up with a scotch
brite and then wipe all this down with a little bit of paint prep and alcohol or acetone just to
clean it up then i'm going to hit it with this self-esteem primer just some regular rust-oleum
and some walmart black paint that i've got laying around i have some gloss black i got some matte
black the matte black i'm just going to hit it with a clear coat afterwards this is just all junk
that i had in my paint box which you know since i don't really care too much about this other than
just to hide the rust and keep it from corroding too much i'm just going to use whatever paint i
have
so i've sanded everything down with the flat and the scotch brite just to clean up all the
little edges i got it for the most part pretty cleaned up i mean they're still coating and
rust and all that but you're not going to get to all that stuff on there anyways somebody's going
to clean it off with some super clean degreaser so it's all nice and clean once that's done i'm
gonna hit it with some paint prep which is that dupli-color paint prep that i use so i'm gonna
spray it down with that and then clean it up and then i'm gonna just hit it with that
primer and let that primer dry for a little bit and then coat it with the
paint
so the half-assed rattle can project came out pretty decent got everything pretty much coated
all the rust and corrosion is all covered especially on the spindles and everything i
don't know how long this is going to last but i guess it was better than what i had before
and at least it'll make cleaning a lot easier now that i've got these coated
and we got all the corrosion and the dirt and dust off of it so i'm going to go ahead
and reinstall this on the car off camera and finish the rest of my projects on this car
hey guys thanks for tuning in all the way in this quick video on refinishing that spindle and those
dust shields which is some rattle can i know it's like a half ass job and to do it right you should
be powder coating or base coat clear coating that thing but i was just doing a quick job
which anybody can do at home with just stuff that you have laying around the house so if you guys
found this video useful give it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed to my channel to check out all
my other diy videos and projects on the is 300 the is 250 or the minivan go ahead and subscribe to
your channel i post all kinds of diys that do and obviously this is one of those easy diys that you
can do at home but anyways uh thanks for watching the video and i'll talk to you guys next time
you
