What kind of solvent are buyers using for thinning and cleanup of Rust Bullet paint, other than "Rust Bullet Solvent."

Acetone works. I suspect that that is the primary ingredient in the Bullet solvent.

Fellow coin nut...I use an Ace-250. The cleaning media I use is corn-cob. About $23 for 50 lbs. at a welding/paint suppier. Takes a long time..I find 1 half pr decade so who cares?

I've been using the Can-Gun with cans of Plasti-Dip, which have a larger spray tip than your average spray paint can (the tip is slightly wider than my index finger, whereas most spray cans have tips so small it starts to hurt the tip of your finger). I think the Can-Gun will work for the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch can just fine.

Red-kote would work well. I used it on an old jerry can when the old liner began peeling. The inside of a NATO can has a red enamel liner that is fuel resistant. That has to be cleaned off if it is peeling. I used sharp edged small granite gravel and then wrapped the CA up in old towels and bedspreads and pit the whole thing in the clothes dryer on air only (no heat) for 45 minutes. Clean out with water and then some cheap rubbing alcohol to remove the water. Prep with muriatic acid, the apply redkote and drain.

I use Lime- Away for that - it takes a few applications - (I just spray on and don't rinse) - but Whink also has another rust remover that works on other surfaces

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.

I use the Hornady cleaner, I believe it does both, because my guns have a combo of stainless and blued. I looked at the label, and it says safe for all metals.

I have a small bottle of lubricating oil that I use for my hand gun. Use very little, works like a charm. A lot cheaper than olive oil!

Less waste with liquid. I prefer to put it on a cloth, toothbrush or q-tip and apply. Also an aerosol sprayer can go bad. I once had the sprayer on another gun product go bad, and I ended up throwing away the can while it was still half-full. These products are too expensive to risk wasting like that.

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off. Keep them all in the X ring. Semper Fi Molon Labe CHS USMCL

my use for this paint has been for detail work in coloring 50 caliber ammunition belts for vintage military aircraft and armored vehicle models.as such, I do not know how it would compare to powder coating on larger items.

You don't need to buy any other items. I used BBs and EvapoRust Remover to remove the scaling and surface rust. I think the use of rust remover was over kill. Temp is critical and apply two coats, just to make sure everything is covered.

You need to remember that it's the paint and not so much the gun that is the issue. It all depends on which type of paint (mainly how thick and how much you'll need to thin it out). The gun works with latex, oil-based, stains, etc., each of which require different conditions. If your paint is very thick (enamel metal paint may be too thick and can't be thinned enough to work). Need to check your paint instructions.

what ever you dont want to show peeling so on wire brush sand paper so on by no means do you have to get rld of all the rust this paint stops the rust and encapulates it remember they suggest to top coat this paint after proper drying you may use a color on top if you wish i suggest regular rust olium

Crosman Pellgunoil Air Gun Lubricating Oil specifically mentions it helps prevent rust and drying of seals. A small amount of PAGLO and a piece of soft cloth secured to a barrel cleaning rod should provide you satisfaction cleaning and lubricating the air-rifle barrel

I use it sparingly at 100% to clean guns. Perhaps, depending on your specific purpose, you could successfully mix it with water but that might also invite rusting.

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.
