What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this rust converter for its exceptional ability to transform rust into a stable black protective layer without sanding or stripping. Reviewers consistently highlight how it "coats the rust and you can paint over it," eliminating extensive surface prep on truck frames, trailers, lawn chairs, and garden tools. The application is praised as easy and smooth-spraying with fast drying times, often requiring just one coat before topcoating. Many report long-lasting results, with treated surfaces remaining rust-free for weeks or longer. A few note the clear version underperforms compared to black, and some mention pricing concerns, but nearly all customers consider it highly effective and worthwhile.

Works well

I bought this to reform rust on my trailer. Coverage and finish were good. I applied a topcoat of paint and the adhesion was good.

This stuff works really well on light surface. Rust and I use it all the time on multiple projects. It also creates a nice primer layer that I just paint right over.

Spray was not consistent

Would Not Recommend

Not sure if the nozzle was damaged or not, but when I went to spray, the paint was not consistent. It lobbed out, sprayed fine, sprayed heavy and leaked all over the place. There was no consistency at all to the spray pattern. In fact it actually dribbled out of the sprayer also, and paint completely covered the can and onto the floor.
