Using Eastwood Internal Frame Coating Rust Encapsulator to Rustproof My Car’s Rocker Panels
In this video, I show how I used Eastwood’s Internal Frame Coating to treat the insides of the rockers on my 1960 Thunderbird. I also share tips and tricks on using this product

great video, thanks! well done sir.
Fluid film sells a kit with the 360 degree nozzle on the end of a tube. Personally, I would rather put an oil based product, that will soak into the rust, into frame rails so that it seals the rust and also suspends the moisture already present. There are multiple products that do this beyond fluid film, it's just more readily available locally to most people
Nice. Thanks!
Great idea. I also used the KBS coating spray nozzle. Bit better built and longer. My final step I did was use the eastwood cavity wax. Great product as well to finalize the coating
This is where dipping the body comes in then use this to protect it afterwards
Brilliant idea to use the hanger wire. Thanks for the tip!
Is there a way to clean the wand and reuse it?
I am not convinced that spraying paint over scaly rust is the best idea, however what else are you really supposed to do? I agree that you need something in there to stop the rust from growing, so probably this is helpful. I recently cut out part of my front end because it had a similar cavity and it was FULL of rust flakes and the metal was so extremely pitted. It was a perfect candidate for new metal. Yours is still very strong (and so was mine to be honest), but I couldn't repair my entire front end and leave such a huge amount of rust.
I did this on my 1991 Jeep Comanche in 2016. 8 years ago now. I turned the truck into a woods toy, mud bogger, creek crawler, and winter beater. Maybe washed the frame a month after wheeling, never throughout the winter, and not a single wash between 22-23. Started to mess with the truck this year and took it to bare metal. Not even surface rust had happened. Unibody looks great. Better than my 2024 F450 with 3500 miles.
It's not paint lol
How did it hold up?
Thanks for the info
Excellent 👌 detail provided here !!! My contribution here, is I used a 3/8"s diameter, 5' long piece of Pex tubing, bought at Home Depot. I extended the 24" white plastic tubing that comes in the kit, with the smallest diameter vinyl tubing they have at HD as well. I used a very short section of Bic pen ink tubing as a coupling between the two pieces of vinyl tubing. The Pex allowed the rigidity and control, I needed to cover the whole length of the rocker assy. I was able to carefully twist the tubing and can gently back and forth, while pushing and pulling slowly to cover the 360° of the rockers on my 65 Mustang. Yes, the stuffs thin, though this is what allows it, to "creep" into all kinds of books and crannies. It's called, the "capillary" effect. Some of the paint, "creeped" out the pinch weld seams of my rockers when I was finished.. Good luck to all..
Yes I found this very useful, and thank you for this. Because I'm going to be doing the rockers on my Jeep Grand Wagoneer soon.
Thank you for the great and true tested suggestions! This product is very well made and had good intentions; however, taking further steps like the ones you showed us can enhance and improve the overall outcome to be even more effective! Take good care brother!👍
It's been ~1yr, how has the internal coating held up?
Hey I have used this product and like it very much. I like that it creeps into pinch welds and such. After it dries I coat inside with Rust prevention product. Fluid Film, WoolWax, Surface Shield.
Thank you very much, clear simple ans honest video, i really apreciate it, and impressions after time of having done it? Did you redo it?
Would it work better to leave about 8 inches of tubing unsupported to allow it to Whip around? just a thought.
do you consider por-15 to be comparable? Just to be clear, I do not want to use por-15 and this product looks similar in finish
I would say comparable is the right word. They both go on pretty thin and make a mess. POR-15 dries glossy and really hard. The frame coating dries flat and seems more like regular spray paint.
Thanks you😊
Very helpful because I’m about to tackle my rusty rocker panels on my ‘64 Dodge Sweptline.
Great tutorial!
What if you overspray a painted surface while spraying truck rockers? What can it be cleaned off with?
Thanks
Thank you for the tips. I will definitely be using the coat hanger. I’m doing 3 frame cross member tubes. Do you think 1can would be enough?
