I am looking for the chemical i believe it comes in an aerosol can or some kind of paint on application that you can apply to surface rust to oxidize it and turn it into something you can put bondo or fiberglass over it and paint on. if anyone knows what it is and where you can get it please let me know. thanks.

 

dupli-color makes a spray/rattle can of it

also there is a product by por-15 called metal ready that you can use also

 

ive used the por 15 before and its just like a mondo paint...but ill check out that dupli color can, you know the name of it?

 

I didn't trust theses things .. nothing better than sandblack for small rust , and cut and weld for big rust

 

I dont suggest doing bodywork over rust ever. I dont care what the product claims. The only way for it to go away is to grind to bare metal then use some self etching primer.

 

I don't trust them either...but I know that my local PepBoys sells a "Rust Dissolver" spray can, maybe made by Permatex. There is also Naval Jelly (I think?!) that supposedly dissolves rust. I tried the spray stuff ones and it seemed to have an effect, but it certainly does not make it go away. I'd say your best bet is to get it to bare metal as suggested by others. It's just not worth the work of having to do it twice if the rust comes through your brand new paint.

 

actually por-15 works like a charm. dont judge it til u used it. its great but its not what im looking for

 

Yeah POR-15 is alright, but it's something I'd use on an underbody or frame. I wouldn't want to do BC/CC or filler over it. I have a friend that swears by the stuff for the frame of his truck.

 

Ok go ahead and try it. Then dont come pouting to me when the paint looks bubbled because the rust is growing

 

wow, i dont recall him asking for 101 opinions about why he shouldn't do it

i think he just wanted some product info for his rust

also, maybe he didnt realize so good lookin' out...but you came off as a complete dick

 

He said por15 works like a charm so I told him to use it. Now how bout you come and blow me

 

good job, come back at me like a 13 year old idiot...

 

LOL well i can appreciate the EFFORT you try and put into giving me advice. but you need to gain some experience before you talk to me about por-15. have you even used it? No. so STFU ignorance takes your argument nowhere.

 

Listen up if you are an expert than why are you asking for advice? Enough said.

 

I didnt have time to waste on a good one. lol

 

If you had any kind of knowledge or experience at all you would never have mentioned putting body filler or paint for that matter over a rust stabilization product. So hows that for a bit more effort. Damn lil bitches

 

you posting on my thread has made my iq drop by 25 points

 

so what are you at now? 0

 

Phosphoric acid converts rust...

 

? what are you talking about? you have contributed nothing of relevance to this thread. just kill yourself piece of ****.

 

I contribute a lot to the paint and body forums fool

 

yea alot of false and irrelavant info. you should switch to the appearance forum.

 

ok buddy go on with your bad self

 

For the record rust is already oxidized down pretty low. What you want to do is reduce it. Reduction comes by putting in either energy (charged bath of some sort) or an acid or both. If por15 doesn't contain a strong acid I doubt it's the **** to use. Just get some phosphoric, clean the flakes off, spray some on, let it dry overnite, and everything should be clean and gray.

That is, if anyone still cares about taking care of ****...

 

go to walmart or autozone they have a rust converter it will turn the rust into bad primer works good
