Eastwood's Rust Converter A Rust Restoration MiracleWhat is Rust Converter exactly?Eastwood's is a unique acidic paint that actually converts rust into an inert iron oxide. You can watch it work: from its original color, it will gradually turn blue/black as it stabilizes rust. The perfect first step in sealing your rusty metal surfaces.How do I ensure my project is fully protected from rust?Get the ultimate in corrosion protection with an easy 3-step process:. 1.
Prime — Use as a base coat for excellent penetration and adhesion to rusty metal. 2. Encapsulate — Next, apply to protect against further rusting, fill pinholes and other surface irregularities, and for excellent UV resistance.
3. Seal — For the best, longest-lasting protection against rust, chipping, and scratches, topcoat with one of our paints to fully seal the metal against the elements.Rust Converter is compatible with most polyester body fillers, and is water-based for extra safety as compared to solvent-based coatings.
One quart of Rust Converter will cover about 50 square feet.What makes Eastwood Rust Converter better than others?Rust converters work by initiating a chemical reaction that transforms rust into a more stable iron oxide. Eastwood Rust Converter is a highly effective and active rust converter that is optimized for the best possible results. Other rust converters go on thick and have a tendency to create pores that can allow rust to start again. Eastwood Rust Converter has been formulated to be the best.When do I use Rust Encapsulator and when do I use Rust Converter?For best results, use Rust Encapsulator over Rust Converter. Rust Converter is intended for heavier rust.
Also the Rust Encapsulator allows you to choose among red, black, silver, and other colors, providing a base primer that maximizes coverage of your top coat.The Rust Converter provides an excellent, tough, durable, and chemically stable base to be applied under Rust Encapsulator for the ultimate corrosion protection. This double-coat technique both actively converts and encapsulates the surface for the most durable protection, while promoting excellent topcoat adhesion. Additionally, Eastwood Rust Converter is the best base prep to address rust on internal surfaces uncovered during panel replacement.
Being water-based, it's safer to weld near than solvent-based coatings.What is the difference between Rust Encapsulator and Converter?Actually they’re two very different products.Rust Encapsulator is very effective at penetrating through firmly adhering rust down to the base metal, and it forms a nice base for additional coats. The availability of a wide range of colors in both aerosol and quart cans makes this ideal for many applications.
Its ability to fill minor surface irregularities minimizes the need for additional primers, and speeds prep for topcoats.Eastwood Rust Converter, on the other hand, is an two-part acidic paint that converts rust on steel and iron to an inert blue/black iron oxide. It transitions from its original color to a bluish black as it does its job of converting the surface. It forms a thin coating that requires additional primers to seal and level the surface.

Additionally, the protective coating will seal the surface against moisture to prevent future rust growth. Simply remove loose rust with a wire brush, then apply Eastwood’s Rust Converter. Allow to dry, then top coat it with a quality coating, such as Eastwood’s Chassis Black.
Single component; no more mixing. Eastwood Rust Converter must be applied over heavy rust. If there is no rust present, there will be nothing for the product to react with and adhere to. You will only see it convert rust in the areas where rust is present.The surface should be clean and dry before application of Rust Converter. If moisture is present or the surface is damp, it can cause the product to dry milky white or not adhere to surface.When preparing the surface, it is important not to take it down to the bare metal. If this occurred, a metal primer is needed in place of the rust converter.
To prepare the surface, remove loose particles of rust and debris with a wire brush or rag. Remove any grease, oil, or salt residue using PRE. Please note that any residue left on the surface will interfere with the adhesion of the product.Eastwood Rust Converter should be stored in a cool dry place, protected from freezing or temperatures above 100 degreesF.
Optimum results are obtained when the surface temperature and the product are between 50 degreesF and 95 degreesF. Do not apply if the surface temperature is below 50 degreesF as it will take longer for the product to react and form a hard surface. This can also cause the product to dry milky white or not fully adhere to the rust. If the temperature of the surface is significantly higher than 95 degreesF, it can cause some of the components to evaporate too quickly and interfere with adhesion.Application — It is important to apply a thin coat first and allow it to dry before applying a second coat.
Allow the surface to cure for 48 hours and protect it from moisture, rain or dew. On thick areas or deep encrustations of rust, it is important to wire-brush these areas to as level to the surface as possible without removing all the rust. The product will absorb into deep rust, leaving little product on the surface, resulting in rust bleed-through if not properly prepped.
