Gearbox Corrosion Prevention

Post by george2490 »

Morning.
I'm looking for a way to prevent corrosion of the gearbox casing.
Moved the earth but the casing is looking pretty manky.
What's best method for prep and paint?
Cheers,
George

I gently grit blasted mine and sprayed epoxy primer. That stuff is never coming off!

Media blast (glass or walnut) and wax coating IMO.
