Corroseal-82320 Water-Based Rust Converter Metal Primer, Rust Converter - 1 Qt

I have used another product for a number of years dealing with rust as it occurs on a Freighliner chassis and tow gear and things. I've been surprised at how well it has worked. This product claims to convert rust in the same way but is water based instead of oil based. was a little skeptical about this being a water based product but read some reviews by professional restoration types on other websites that sounded excellent so gave it a try. First, water cleanup is definitely a welcome change. As to the product, the reviews of its long term effectiveness were good. I have no reason to doubt them but haven't used it long enough to confirm them, I have used it in a number of places over the past couple of months and been pleased with the result whether significant preparation was needed on heavy rust or just normal maintenance on light rust as it begins to occur. Follow the directions, including the additional coats indicated by the colors it presents as it dries and I think you will like the results. It will dry to a durable deep black finish somewhere between gloss and semi-gloss. It serves as a primer for paint at that point although the finish looks nice enough, even when applied with a brush ,that the only reason I think I'll paint is to make the adjacent surfaces look as nice as this turns out. I'm even considering just using this although it would make for an expensive paint where rust treatment isn't required. I did some black enameled panels where there was rust I brushed out in a few place and no rust in other places. I coated the whole panel and it looks nice and uniform in the previously rusted areas as well as the rest of the panel. I will definitely be purchasing more of this.

Works great and the absolute best and fastest eating to apply even in tight hard to reach places. QWORK Air Blow Gun Pneumatic Engine Cleaning Gun with 4Ft Hose, Cleaning Degreaser Sprayer Tool

Works well, easy to use.

This did not do what I expected it to do after reading reviews and I even called Corroseal. I asked them if this would turn my truck bed a solid black color and was told that it would. Well, it doesn't. If you read the website and the bottle, it says that areas that don't have rust will have a clear coat and that's what it does. Just don't think you're going to get a nice, even black primer coat. If your entire surface is covered with rust, then you will. If not, only the rust will turn black. Once you know this, and that your brush strokes won't show - which I was initially worried about - then you can just slop the stuff on more quickly. What this is, is a clear coating - that happens to also turn rust black, and seals it in a clear coat. That said, my main purpose for using this was to kill the rust in my pickup truck bed and seal and protect it from further rust damage. I live at the coast, and the rust was winning thanks to the salty air here. I lightly sanded the entire bed of my compact 93 Nissan pickup - the inside walls and the bottom. Then I scrubbed it with water only to get rid of dirt that had accumulated around screws, etc., then I ran it through a local car wash, as I don't have access to a hose at my apartment complex. The car wash also helped dry it. I chose an option with water and soap only. The next day after the sun came out and the truck bed was completely dry, it was about 60 degrees. I only needed one quart for my job. I bought two separate quart bottles, in case I wouldn't need them both. I'm glad I did it that way. Amazon let me return the second bottle. My advice - you will wonder if you're putting it on thick enough. I think I overdid it, but I did get really good coverage. Only the rusted spots turned black and you will see those areas turning black pretty quickly - within just a few minutes. So, if it's not turning black, it will just leave a clear coat there. So, don't think the problem is that you need to put more Corroseal on it, to get it to turn black. You just need good coverage - not multiple coats. When I went out the next morning, the black areas had grown and gotten darker. So, it will continue to "cure" overnight. I did end up with some areas that show whitish drip lines around the inside walls of the bed. I think this happened because I kept putting more coats on that weren't necessary, and perhaps it had dried to much? It's still coated, and if you were planning to paint it, it wouldn't matter. It still looks overall so much better than it did before, I'll get over the very minimal drip lines, that probably nobody else would ever notice or care about anyway. The coating darkened up the paint and it looks so much better. The paint was really faded in my pickup bed, and with the coating on it, it's a much deeper color and shiny. If you drip some onto your bumper, it will show the next day as a shiny spot - it's like Varathane. So, you might want to pay attention and wipe up any drips or spots. Still, the overall change in my truck is amazing. The bed is spotted with black and red (truck color), but it looks a deeper color and shiny, and no longer looks rusty at all. I also put some on my chrome wheels that had a few rust spots and it looks good. There was also a rusty spot on the front bumper where the previous owner scraped it, and I applied some there, and it turned it black, so now matches the bumper better. At any rate, for about $30 total, with a 3" roller (which made the job easy) some sponge brushes, etc., my truck looks eons better, and is now protected from further rust damage. I did take some photos and will see if I can upload them later. Edit: I added photos. They are the truck before any prep, the bed half-way coated - note where you can see some black but the rest is just a clear coat, a close-up of the bed where you can see areas where it turned black but the rest is a clear coat, the bumper after treated which used to be rust-colored and the final after photo of the truck. Although not the even black finish I'd hoped for, it still looks a million times better.

Bought multiple times. Once metal is prepped, this product changes remaining rust’s molecular structure into a solid satin black surface, perfect for receiving paint. Used it as primer on wrought iron and it looks like the finished satin black coat, which is wonderful when you can’t get to paint right away.

Increible producto, sencillo de usar y seguro. muy efectivo siguiendo el proceso el cual no es nada complicado. lo seguire comprando cada vez que tenga un problema de oxido

Muy caro pero muy bien y facil.

MUY BUENA CALIDAD

Fácil aplicación

Esperaba una jalea naval, pero es un inhibidor de óxido de pintura imprimación. Funciona muy bien y se vuelve negro cuando está seco. Estoy muy contento con él y sólo usamos media taza para tratar una gran mesa de patio al aire libre.
