I was wondering if any one has used the DUPLI-COLOR rust converter or the krylon rust converter? I really dont feel like grinding/ sanding anymore and according to the web sites they say you can spray on the rust converters and it stops the rust from spreading, and lays a sand able primer down at the same time.
I was just wondering if any one has used these products or heard of people using them and if they actually work or not? Or just do the nonlazy thing and keep sanding (screw that lol).
I would also like to know if anyone has any recommendations on a quick and easy way to remove the rust other than cutting a welding in a new piece. my friend has recommended naval jelly any use this? is it easy or work good?

Keep in mind the rust has not eaten through but it is enough to where it will take a few days for minor areas, and i dont want to get rid of vehicle.

Web sites in case you would like too look at them your self

 

I'm not too fond of those rust converters, never heard anything too great about them.
Look into POR-15. That stuff is the cat's meow. It's expensive, but worth it

Well it depends, it will work for a while maybe a year. If you do no prep at all it will def flake off. If you sand it at least smooth and spray it it will hold longer. However until all the rust is removed down to bare metal it will just keep coming back. Correct way to do it is remove rust entirely and paint or weld in new metal. It will work for a time mine has held up about 5 months and there is starting to be orange spots in it from rust.

 

There are industrial grade rust converters, and the Por 15 seems to be one of them. It chemically changes iron oxide (rust), but may take a good coat, sand, and repeat. Then finish with primer and paint to seal it. The key is to protect the metal from more moisture. The good stuff will be expensive, but may be cheaper than replacing sheet metal.

 

Ya like I said the more work you put into it the better it will hold up, its all about what you put into it.

 

Yep. It is more than just spraying it on, I used it ten years ago on a structure to a cooling tower. My crew complained the whole time about how many timnes the sanded, coated, sanded and coated. Then the paint. It is still holding up 10 years later.

 

ok thanks guys. i just wanted to see if you guys had anymore insite. i was just being lazy but i quess i have to get off my but and just do some therapeutic grinding/sanding

 

That is so very true. I used an angle grinder and wire wheel and worked my butt off and with family and working it took months but still looks perfect......until I got lazy on the last 10% of the job......and guess what I'm getting to re-do now?

 

I know this is an older thread, but if you are still lookin gfor a rust converter. Go with GreenDak's advice. Por-15 is amazing stuff. I've used it on a number of different vehicles and have been extremely happy with it. Depending on what your using it for a qt would be more than enough. I use it on everything. Once it's try you and paint over it.
