What is the process after you paint it on and the rust turns black, do you then sand that off and then paint over it?

You could sand it off and then treat it again, to be xtra sure. But yeah once it turns black just paint over it.

I am not sure ..depends on surface. I used it on underside of my truck rocker panel s and inside of door ridge where it isn't seen. I then painted right over it with spray bed liner paint. It did stop the rust where it soaked in good. I like the results so far.

We scuff we red scotch brite pad. Level with filler if finish is very important prime and paint.

I have not used the product yet as it has been too cold in the DC area. i believe your assumption is correct (that is what I expect to do). I plan to use it this weekend and I will let you know how it goes.

I would clean the rust first by using a wire brush or sandpaper then wipe the surface. Then apply Plasti-Kote. Let it dry as it turns black. Then you can paint over it. Sand prior to painting if desired.

You could sand it down but then you're taking the coating back off. What I was covering didn't need to be smooth so I just primered and used a hammer-coat.

yes, clean it with marine clean, scuff it, tack rag it, then por it. if its rusted at all use the zinc primer,it bonds to the rust.

I guess I should have answered "Don't Know". I know on my application, that was was meticulous on surface sanding and prep. However, if you are dealing with metal and moisture can get to the metal, you are going to get oxidation which will start the rust process. Hopefully, someone will have the answer for you or you may have to inquire with the manufacturer, The GB Weld Company in Texas. Sorry!

Never clean it with soap. This will strip the seasoning. Use only water and a soft abrasive sponge. Lightly oil it to keep it from rusting at first. Eventually the "seasoning" will prevent rust from forming.

Yes, I use it on small rust spots all the time and there is no need to sand first. I just wipe off the excess; it hasn't ever affected the surrounding paint. It will leave a film that can be easily wiped off. It works great. No need to use primer, just paint right after it drys.

I have used body filler over crc rust converter on the sides of my truck's flatbed. First, I sanded what was left of the old paint and most of the excess rust off. Then, I applied the rust converter. After it had dried for a couple of days, I sanded again lightly and applied body filler to the dents. Then, I primed and painted. It has been 6 months of hard use since I refinished the bed, and the filler and paint are sticking just fine. No sign of rust, either.

We had ours almost a year and nothing yet (rust),..I believe the black paint is of a high temp grade. It looks really nice. We use Landmann's cover for this model (ordered it separately) and cover it during the 6 months of winter. We love ours!~

Use sandpaper and a wire brush to remove as much rust as practical. To achieve a smooth final finish, apply the Rust-Oleum with a soft cloth to avoid bumps or streaks. Allow to dry completely. Next, apply several coats of fast drying rust resistant primer. Sand lightly after each coat dries. Repeat until finish is smooth and apply final coat. Be sure the metal is free of dirt or oil before you apply the Rust-Oleum solution. You could apply the finish coat without using primer but several coats of primer will make for a finer finish and the final coat of paint will last longer.

I read the reviews before purchased this and did spray it with Rustoleum before using. I have had it for 6 months and it looks brand new, no rust. I am very pleased with it.

There is coating. You have to scrub it but won't help eliminate completely. I don't season it. You don't have to clean it after use, otherwise it easily got rusted .

I'd say it is semi-permanent. Meaning as long as you prep the metal with a primer to stop rust ,it should last a long time. Caveat...until someone starts to peel it off. Then it will come off quite easily. I'd use a good quality paint instead.

Same way you applied before. Instead of sanding you skip that step . Just make sure your tub/sink are clean and dry. Needs two coats, second coat 45 mins after first if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while since I painted the tub. Just remember to follow the instructions between coats. Good luck

Flat black maybe with a light gloss. We put 2 more coats of paint on it to make sure it lasts! Our truck is 15 years old and was to the point where even the frame had rusted through in a couple of places. We cleared the rust and painted and it's good for another 15!

I use a rustolium paint that is high heat to 2000 degrees. I did two coats and has held up for 4 months so far. You can buy the paint at walmart for 7 or 8 dollars. Hope this helps

the paint is still white a year later on my truck, but I have not tried to remove it. I just covered the area to stop the rust until I sand it down and paint it.

Rust reformer dries flat black and acts as your primer. Clean all loose rust and flakes first (wire brush) for a good smooth result. I was very happy with this product and my results!

the instructions mentioned to rub it down with oil, I used cooking oil and got some black oxide (iron rust) while wiping it. I don't remember seeing any paint- it was bare metal. It has not scaled or corroded with this oil treatment, which is performing better than the OEM supplied by the original grill manuacturer.
