248658 Stops Rust Reformer Spray Paint, 10.25 oz, Matte Black

This Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Reformer Spray is outstanding. It’s very easy to use and does exactly what it claims—converts rust into a solid, paintable surface. I used it on light to moderate rust, and the results were impressive. The spray applies evenly, dries quickly, and leaves a clean black finish that’s ready for paint. It saved me a lot of time compared to sanding everything down to bare metal. Great adhesion, professional results, and very reliable for automotive and home projects. Highly recommended if you’re dealing with rust and want a fast, effective solution.

I’ve dealt with rust on my truck’s undercarriage and outdoor tools for years, and this Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Reformer spray has been a total game-changer. Instead of the usual sanding and scraping, I just cleaned the rusty spots and sprayed this on. The rust actually transforms into a solid, paintable surface — no more flaky mess! The flat black finish looks clean and professional, and it’s held up great through rain, mud, and even winter salt. I love that it dries fairly quickly and doesn’t run or drip if you’re careful with your spray technique. What impressed me most is how durable it feels. Months later, there’s no peeling or new rust creeping in. For anyone tired of fighting rust the hard way, this spray is a simple, effective solution that really delivers.

This product really works if you follow directions and 24 hours use a good brand spray paint over it to seal out moisture. I Use it on rust on truck frame to slow and stop rust. works as described. remove all loose rust then spray Rust reformed wait 24 hours top coat with black spray paint. Usually keeps rust from spreading. I touch up areas that do rust through after a year or so but it really does minimize its growth. 5 cans usually will cover average frame. Use a good mask save you lungs. **********UPDATE March 2017*************** I have used this product on other rusted chassis past few years........ If you follow instruction spray rust wait 24 hrs then over paint. After a year my truck which I sprayed last March.and using it all winter. No rust has come through my truck, a few little chips but thats it. It remains solid black and rust free. This spring I will power wash chassis touch up any small areas and repaint the chassis again to insure it remains that way. If air cant get to treated rust it cant start again. I also did my daughters car 2 years ago which had a lot of surface rust when she bought it used. I did same thing and now after 2 winters and me not retreating it, I was surprised to see after 2 winters only some rust has come through but nothing compared to what shape it was in. I use this product every spring to keep my older cars that drive in an area that salts the roads in the winter frequently and for the hour or so it takes me to recoat and repaint and the 35.00 it costs me between this product and GOOD BRAND black spray paint to top coat. To keep rust at bay. Its well worth it +++++++++Sept 2018=== still holds out keeping rust away. I just ordered another 6 cans to do a 05 Mercury Mariner. I just bough I have the start of very Minimal surface rust so I brushed and with air pressure to blow clean. Took off each wheel all exposed metal then down under rocker panels rear wheels. Tomorrow I will top coat with paint. Its a lot of work but once it covered I know it works. I do power wash road salt on my trucks and cars coming in after a snow and they are garage kept. I do get very minimal specs of rust that will appear after a long winter. I just hit them quick then respray with paint. But nothing compared to the whole chassis .If you car fully over taken with deep rust this may slow it but the cancer has set in deep when its that bad.

I absolutely love using Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer Spray — especially this 6-pack, which is perfect for regular use. I’ve used it on everything from automotive frames to outdoor metal fixtures, and it consistently performs. It’s my go-to for converting rust into a paintable surface without the need for grinding or sanding down to bare metal. The spray goes on evenly and dries to a solid black protective layer, creating an ideal base for topcoats like enamel, primer, or bedliner. It bonds well and helps prevent rust from bleeding through, even on surfaces that were heavily oxidized. The product has no strong odor, and the spray nozzle delivers a consistent, controlled application. Whether you're a DIYer or doing more industrial projects, this is a high-performing and affordable solution that saves time and effort. Q&A: Q: Does this actually convert rust or just cover it? A: It chemically converts rust into a stable surface, allowing you to paint directly over it. Q: Can it be used under Raptor bedliner or topcoats? A: Yes — it’s ideal as a base layer under topcoats, including Raptor, enamel, or epoxy finishes. Q: Does the black color bleed through light-colored topcoats? A: Not usually, but using a light primer over it before painting will ensure full color coverage. Q: How long does it take to dry? A: Typically 15-30 minutes to touch and 24 hours for full cure before applying topcoat. Q: How many square feet does one can cover? A: Each 10.25 oz can covers about 8–10 sq. ft, depending on surface texture and rust depth.

The clacky sound the can makes when it gets shook is satisfying to my ears! The even application of the rust reforming primer makes the obliteration of rust easy and with a nice color. However, as satisfactory as the color of the primer is, the viewing is fleeting as most primers get another coat of paint sprayed over them. However, the primer is the unseen hero providing a durable and sound base as the paint all the world sees adheres to it. I suppose one could just use this product for its rust conversion and color, but dare one disturb the universe? Break the rules of paint adhesion? This must be decided as a personal choice.

Great coverage for trailer bumper,worked great

I bought this because I had light rust beginning to appear on one of my exterior wheel wells. I followed instructions, lightly sanded area, washed with soap and water rinsed let dry and then applied light coats. two to three. from a foot distance. I usually do an average job at things, but this one I can proudly say turned out excellent! Ease of use!!! It applies real easily! Nice finish!!! Didn't even have to paint, since it resembles the color of my car. I don't want to invest more money on a car that is aging so this fits the bill! I hope rust stays away, or is at least delayed before I retire!!!

Very impressed with the product. It worked like magic on my rusty metal ladder. Since I spray painted it, the paint is still there despite facing harsh elements as the ladder is outside in the balcony under severe hot and humid climate .
