Rust Con

[cbfb]

Looking for somethiung like this available in NZ:
http://www.superior-industries.com/products/aerosol-products/coatings/rust-con-500-rust-converter.html

Has to 'convert' / neutralize rust and act as a primer.

Also needs to be UV stable as I don't have an indoor workshop (well I do but it's full of fishing gear and other junk)

Planning on concentrating on smaller areas gradually, getting the rust sorted out then doing the primer/top coat in one big hit. So having a rust converter with a semi-permanent barrier would be fantastic.

Prefer liquid but spraycans would be OK just expensive.

I got this and it looks very similar to the above link you provided

Does the same thing.. etc..

crc rust convert

all good

[snotgoblin]

That CRC stuff looks remarkably similar to some Loctite stuff I used to have.

Worked very well at attacking the rust on my old SJ413..

I find the best way to convert rust is with a grinder

Thanks, both those products look like they will do the job. I had some spray on stuff from Supercheap which left a coating but it washed off, was rubbish. Good to have some recommendations.

Yes obviously the bulk of it will be removed first. Want to make sure I kill it off properly for good.

I used a spray paint style converter that acted as a primer/undercoat when doing some rust repairs and worked awesomely i will look for it in the garage after work

Here's what i used to use when painting rusty marine engine blocks, worked a treat and was one of the cheapest too.

Nothing beats this stuff. It's not cheap but you can be confident it will work.

Thanks, I am pretty sure this is what my mate recommended but I forgot what it was called. Will give this a try.

Anyone used it and left it out in the rain?

Yeah I have read nothing but good things about the POR15 system.

Do they do a rust con though? I wasn't aware of that, only their primers & topcoats.

I would use this on my toys, but there is no supplier in Palmy afaik

I used the Bunnings stuff on my RRC, it might be ok in the rain after it has fully cured but it is water soluble so mine ran a bit (in the driveway with no doors on). Painted over it with one of the white knight epoxy enamels and it seems to be ok, only did it a few months ago though. Dont try and weld over it/near it though, the smoke is pretty toxic.

Got the CRC stuff in the end, will give it a crack at the weekend
