Haha, love the banter.
So - in order, here are my responses
Mist in air - yes there was mist in the air. But it wasn’t all mist, I would say it would mist a bit then spray thicker. It would mist more if the level in the hopper was low and it wasn’t picking it up consistently or if I was trying to spray upside down.
I was okay with the mist though as I was outside, and also just happy it was working.
Smell - I don’t find it too unpleasant. Kind of like a mix of chapstick and wet wool - but not a chemical smell. One of the things I like about it is that it’s mostly derived from lanolin (from sheep), so it feels pretty safe and clean.
It also cleans off pretty easily with soap and hot water.
LP3 - haven’t heard much about. Looks interesting, anything I can spray without needing a compressor and spray gun setup is good for me. FF is cheaper tho, and since it stays semi-wet it acts as a lubricant keeping bolts and stuff from getting stuck.
Pics - I didn’t do a great job of documenting. Also I will be the first to admit I didn’t get great coverage everywhere, I was in a hurry and wanted to just get something done before the first snow hits. I was going for minimum viable product here... something is better than nothing mentality.
Here are some before pics that show you the general level of rust I have:
I wire wheeled most of the rust off of my Upper Control Arms a few weeks ago and painted them:
Here are a few shots post Fluid Film. Just to note - for as many spots as I could access I wire brushed off rust, sprayed on an acid based rust remover, then sprayed on black rustoleum.
The Fluid Film itself won’t dissolve rust or cover it with a paint or anything. But it WILL soak into the rust and help keep it from getting worse.
Here are some after pics, sorry the lighting is bad.
I need to take the front wheels off and skid plates and really hit the lower control arms and spots like this:
One note - keep it off your brake discs (wrap them in bags when you spray) and off your exhaust
