Rust Converter & Primer - Gallon

I have been trying out different rust converting and prevention products for years, and I usually have a similar feeling about them, not great. This product, however, has broken that trend for Im and me here to say that, between its actual performance AND the fact that its cleanup is as easy as it gets, being water-soluble makes it a clear standout. Out of the can, it's incredibly thick, which is nice for brush application, but if you are like me and would rather spray it, their 15% dilution recommendation is PERFECT for an HVLP gun with a 1.4 tip. It lays down well and dries quickly, and as long as you allow it time to dry, it fully holds up to the environment far better than I anticipated.

I did my homework on a rust converter online and when searching Amazon I found this product to be a very inexpensive and an efficient way to refinish my clawfoot tub. I know that most of these products are used on cars parts or machinery but I sanded and sanded an old clawfoot tub but could not get the rust removed so I wiped it down when the product arrived and painted it on which was so smooth and simple, it's red (I wish it came in Black) but when I painted over it with my primer and hammered black spray paint it covered perfectly it paints on smooth the quality seemed amazing (make sure you stir it very very well before use) the cleanup was so easy cuz you can just wash your brush, hands and anything else you may get it on with soap and water if you're a messy painter. That little container amazingly covered my clawfoot tub with two coats (yes I follow the directions and waited before the second coat) with some left over (it was difficult but yes I followed the directions before I put my primer and paint on it) and I have to tell you my clawfoot tub turned out beautifully! I may have to wait years to see if it rusts but the paint adhered and I am a very happy person that I bought this product on Amazon!

I was a little skeptical to purchase this for what I needed it for-but I can tell you I am glad I did. I am currently Wet-sandblasting this truck frame. If you do not prep the frame fast enough after blasting you will get flash rust. I tried a few other products with no luck. I used this and I am more then happy with the end results. You will see in the pictures the frame looks gray after blasting it, and then I brushed the product on and the frame was not even 100% dry yet ( but I did prep before I applied this product ) and I was amazed how it went on. The big test was to see if the rust would bleed through the product and I can say it did not. This has been on the frame for about 5 weeks now and it looks perfect, I still have no put a top coat on it yet because I am not sure what color I am going to use yet. I have not tried spraying it yet, but I will be soon. I was not sure how well a water based product would hold up or even stop the rust from coming back-but I can tell you it works. And if you think it is expensive-trust me it is a bargain compared to the other products out there and sub par results. For what I have used it for- I can not recommend it enough. Read the directions and you will be good to go. I had originally bought the smaller container first just to try-and once I saw how well it worked I purchased the gallon. ***The first two pictures are after the frame was wet-sandblasted, the next to pictures are with the product on it.

I have treated rust and painted many things in my many years of equipment maintenance. From road sanders to golf course mowers, there are few things out there more exposed to corrosive elements. But then there are the cars and trucks driven on our Minnesota roads. What you are looking at is an old snowmobile trailer that I hammered and wire brushed thick layers of rust off. When I saw this product on Amazon I thought, let's give it a try. Water cleanup sounded like a good thing. I did a few test patches with a brush. When I first opened the can I thought it was tomato soup, condensed! But stirring softened it up magically. Application with the brush was easy, good coverage, smooth appearance. Today I sprayed the whole trailer (and my driveway). I swear, those paint particles are magnetic! The paint/converter goes on so easy with no hint of a run or adhesion problems. There was no warning on the can that said temperature must be between this and that. It was 41 degrees when I started. That stuff is on there. Time will tell how many years it lasts. It's too late in the year to put a topcoat on this fall unless I can make room in my garage, but they say it is not a problem. I'll have to report back next year.

Obviously don’t know how it performs yet, but very pleased with the way it lays out well with great coverage. So far a little has gone a long ways. Extremely easy to work with. I keep a little drinking water on the table and give it a splash when it’s too thick. Been using the same brush all week by just putting it in a sealed Ball jar with a bit of water in the bottom…you end up using that brush rinse as paint as it gradually gains solids. To be honest, it reminds me of a ceramics glaze you used in grade school art class. I’m overcoating it with rattle can black. High hopes, we’ll see.

The Adirondack Chair in the picture had rust and rust stains around most all of the screws. I painted each screw head with this product and then painted the chair with Behr Dynasty. It’s been 8 months sitting outside in the salt air and not a sign of rust. The metal Dragon was cover in rust. I wire brushed it and then used this product 3 months ago in the salt air. Still no rust Amazing
