    C.A.R.C paint and a wire wheel

    With needle scaler, you need mask, eye and ear protection. It is really loud especially inside a trailer bed or vehicle. I bought one with pistol grip as it looked more comfortable to hold for a period of time. It requires 90 PSI. Can't believe I did not buy one sooner!

    C.A.R.C paint and a wire wheel

    Another option is a needle scaler which does not seem to throw the chips far. For areas that have rusted (frame, bumpers, etc) I have used Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator followed by primer and then paint. Over 2 years and no rust through on treated areas.

    C.A.R.C paint and a wire wheel

    Probably not much to do at this time except avoid doing the wire brushing/dry sanding in the future. I wet sanded wearing nitrile gloves and paint mask. Adherent CARC is a good base for paint and you do not need to sand down to bare metal.
