It is easy to use, has a consistency like water. Just brush on and wait a day, then I spray on some primer. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 785 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 785 | Before deciding on a “rust converter” product you should check to insure your primer is compatible with said converter. Many epoxy primers do not play nicely with these acid type treatments. Having to repaint something, and giving the cost of paint supplies, it is imperative to get it right the first time. My suggestion is to start with your epoxy primer and check with THAT manufacturer to see if their product is compatible with these rust converters. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2021 Posts: 25 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2021 Posts: 25 | Walter:
What brands of epoxy primer have you used successfully with the Ospho rust converter.
?
Thanks to all of you for your replies.

I have encountered a couple spots that bubbled or cracked, may have been due contamination. Overall I'm happy with the results. I still need to figure out what plays nice with the product I will use on the exterior. Robert gave the best advice here to check product compatibility. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 10,997 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 10,997 | I've used Rustoleum rusty metal primer on some small parts, topcoated per instructions with their semi-gloss black. I've found lately that combination isn't very durable and scratches easily. I painted the road draft tube with it and it has already been chipped from being in the box waiting to be installed. It can be touched up, but I've found that epoxy primer with the same topcoat is a lot tougher and scratch resistant. Just an observation.
