Sapper 157 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 What type of chemical spray/brush on rust removers do you guys use for surface rust? Ive been looking at Rustolems Rust Reformer but is there anything better out there? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Brat Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It can take some time but we had good luck with KBS Rust Coatings. Used it on a lot of my son's brat parts. So far, so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Central Idaho chase up the Horsey type suppliers and get some Molasses works really well to remove rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ive used the Permatex rust catalyst stuff, and im actually pretty impressed with it. It doesnt remove it, per se. You need to make sure that any and all scale rust is removed, and that the surface is degreased. I have spots that i treated a decade ago, with the intention of topcoating.....still havent layed any paint down, and the treated area still looks identical to what it back then.

I looked at KBS... looks like some good stuff. Did you buy the whole kit? and if so where and how much did it run ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Brat Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I bought the three items, cleaner, rust converter and paint. We are on our second Iowa Winter and everything looks pretty good still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comatosellama Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Metal rescue rust remover bath. I swear by this stuff, freed up a 100 year old rusted tractor gear box in a few days. Non toxic as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper 157 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Metal rescue rust remover bath. I swear by this stuff, freed up a 100 year old rusted tractor gear box in a few days. Non toxic as well While that stuff is way cheaper than KBS per gallon, my only problem with it is that it doesnt say that it prevents flash rusting. which is my main concern and also what KBS is advertised to stop.
