How do I repair the bubbles on the exterior of my 1992 georgie boy cruise air 111

paint , if that is what has bubbled, needs to be taken back to metal with sandpape. Only the affected areas should be rubbed down to the metal. When this is fone rust inhibitor should be painted onto th affacted areas. some axide paint should be appled as an undercoat, exide primer that is, two or three coats . .If there are any pits use some filler and rub this down prior to spplying the primer.. The primer should be slightly below the surrounding paint before the application of top coat. the treated are should be wiped down with isopropyl to remove dust etc. then the top coat should be applied and allowed to dry for a week befor being touched

Vehicule exterior color code where to find it

If you'd like to know the original paint color of a vehicle to repaint or touch up scrapes, one of the ways to find out is by looking up the Vehicle Identification Number, more commonly referred to as a VIN. The VIN is a 17-digit number that can tell you practically all of the information about a car, such as make, prior reported accidents and color code. The dealership will be able to determine the paint code based on the VIN.

Rust bubbles on roof

The cost will cover the removal of the old one, fitting of the new one and a colour matched paint job. (The most expensive part as it involves a lot of labour) If the rust has penetrated the roof then this is only one of the repair options. You could have it patch repaired but the paint job will still make it expensive. If the rust hasn't penetrated, you could rub it down, treat the rust and then paint ( Paint costs will be lower as it will be a chip repair paint job.)

My 1994 Lincoln Mark Vlll rear window have humps or bubbles around the outside edge.is there a fix for this problem?

If it is in the glass- no. If it is around the glass or trim, remove trim and remove rust, treat/seal the rust and repaint. Use care as back glass usually is tempered instead of laminated.

Wish to tackle rust spots and areas on steel boat

To stop rust,the best thing to do is chemically convert it.remove loose paint and rust with a sanding disc,then treat the remaining surface rust with phosphoric acid/water solution(the acid is available at lowes or home depot pretty cheap).It converts iron oxide to iron phosphate(which is stable and paintable).Take a paper towel soked in the solution and stick it down on fairly heavily rusted areas to sit overnight,maybe also followed by saran wrap to keep it wet.

Floorboard is rusting in my 94 geo metro

There's not a whole lot you can do about a rusted out floorboard. If it's just rusting a little bit, you can probably get away with cleaning off the rust with steel wool or a wire brush and treating it with some naval jelly, then painting it with a good rust converting paint or underbody coating.

If it's already weakening the metal, the only solution is to weld a new piece of sheet metal in place.

Does ford treat the under carriage metal for rust prevention ? I have an 08 ranger. Thanks, Jim

ford coats the undercarriage with a red paint which acts as a anti rust shield the paint is covered by paint job for your car at the last parts of the assembly line at most ford factories so yes ford does put the undercoating for all newer fords :)
