It will seal ov err it but I brushed and coated mine with roofing paint and let dry before laying it down.

Take some high grit sandpaper (400 wotked great for me). Wet sand it. Try to remove as much rust as possible. You are going to primer the piece with high heat primer. Worth the investment to do it right.

Clean it well and then store with a slight film of oil to prevent the rust. Should be just fine, this is common. bone appetit

I'd like to think you can. But please don't take my word for it because I wouldn't want any one chemical to affect that classic's roof! Please be on safe side and contact their customer service. Hope it turns well for you!

thin metal that rusts easily. I keep a can of spray paint outside. Whenever I clean the bowl I spray all rust spots. Keep unit covered and moisture OUT of the bowl

YES to this question......I had a problem with rust spots coming thru the chrome in less than 1 month.

Not an expert but having worked with galvanized steel before I know that heat will cause it to rust over time...mine is outdoors under an open air roof and one year later I have no issues.

This set is powder-coated steel, not aluminum, so if the paint was scraped then that spot would rust. We suggested using a cover for maximum protection against the elements to avoid any issues.

The rack seems to be protected with a hard (baked-on?) finish that will fade a little when left out in the elements. This appears to be normal wear and tear. I noticed some very minor rust forming where the front and back parts are joined to each other, but this can be fixed with rustoleum paint or WD40. Overall, I don't consider the rust as an "issue", but if you leave it mounted to your roof outdoors year around, it can and should be inspected and touched-up every once in awhile, especially if you live near salt water or in harsher climates.

I don't know where you live, but if you could get the bar sand or media blasted first that would take off any rust and loose chrome or anything else for that matter. If you can't do that you can just sand it by hand until you have a smooth and rust free surface and then use the primer. Another way is to buy a can of rust remover and shoot it on first, then sand and primer. The rust reformer will keep any rust from coming thru the new finish. You can purchase it on Amazon too. Hope this helps you.

Ospho will convert surface rust to black. You still need to sand and prime and paint

Since the top coat (or final finish) is an epoxy-type solution that was supplied with your kit, it probably won't hold up long enough with the proper consistency to be applied at some later time. Check with Rust-Oleum though; but my feeling is that you'll probably need to purchase more of the compound to get the finish that you want.

Yes, You will want to remove any loose caulking or other material. Then clean the patch area with denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner. Press the patch around the area especially on the edges of the patch. Paint to match the rest of the roof.

I don't see why you couldn't. I used a second coat on some of the worst areas and had no problem. I didn't use a primer, but I did spray off the roof the day before with soap and water.

The roof coating (Dicor) works great on seams by filling small gaps and cracks. I would do the Dicor first, followed by the Eternabond and a final coat over everything. Better safe than sorry as they say.

I bought the cover for it and faithfully cover it after it cools down. I also remove the ash so it doesn't accumulate moisture. I have had no rust problems at all.
