Initial Rust Removal<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>We were lucky that we only had surface rust.&nbsp; If you have major holes, you should keep searching the net for help on how to handle those.&nbsp; If they are really bad, you might even consider halting your conversion right now before you put more money into your bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Remove as much rust as you can with the angle grinder.&nbsp; Remember to wear a mask because that dust is&nbsp;<em>nasty!<\/em><\/li><li>Use the drill with wire brush attachment for tight spots or grooves you can&#8217;t reach with the angle grinder.<\/li><li>If you are painting your lower wall panels like we did, do a pass over with the angle grinder + sander attachment to create a rougher surface.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 &#8211; Clean and Degrease the Floor<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use a degreaser, the hose, and your mad dance skills to clean that floor!&nbsp; Your aim is to get rid of all the rust dust, grease, and grime.<\/li><li>Give the floor enough time to dry.&nbsp; You want to end up with a bone dry floor.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t be hasty now, Precious.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 &#8211; Second Pass of Rust Removal (Optional)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>We went across the whole floor with a rust removal gel.&nbsp; However, we feel this step ended up being a waste of time and money for us, because our remaining rust really was minimal and was easily taken care of by the rust converter.&nbsp; It is entirely up to you whether you want to do this step.&nbsp; If you do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Apply your rust remover and follow the product&#8217;s instructions for amount to apply\/wait time.<\/li><li>After it&#8217;s done its work, completely wash away the rust remover.<\/li><li>Again&#8230;give the floor time to completely dry.&nbsp; Argh..<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 &#8211; Rust Conversion<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying a rust converter has two key purposes.&nbsp; First, is to convert any remaining rust into iron phosphate.&nbsp; Second, if your floor is galvanized steel like ours was, the rust converter serves to also etch the floor.&nbsp; This is necessary if you plan to use a Rustoleum primer like we did, as that primer will not adhere to galvanized steel.&nbsp; The rust converter will etch the galvanized steel and make it compatible with Rustoleum primer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Apply a rust converter to the floor, following the product&#8217;s instructions!<\/li><li>Tip:&nbsp; We used Ospho and applied it&nbsp;<em>WAY<\/em> too thick.&nbsp; After 72 hours it still hadn&#8217;t dried correctly!&nbsp; This was partly because the humidity was so high, but also because we applied so much.&nbsp; If you are using Ospho, a thin layer is all you need.&nbsp; If you can leave the bus windows open to allow for air circulation, this will help it dry faster too.<\/li><li>Rinse the floor thoroughly so that an acid film does not remain.&nbsp; An acid film can result in your paint not sticking.&nbsp; Which sucks.<\/li><li>Wait till the floor is bone dry again.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Now,&nbsp;<em>finally,&nbsp;<\/em>you can start <a href=\"http:\/\/artwethereyet.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/07\/painting-patching-bus-floor\/\">painting that floor<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>&lt;&lt;
