Rust Destroyer Oil Base Red Primer Spray, 13-Ounce Aerosol

I am a house painter that leaves by the ocean I deal with.Rust on every house I paint out here in shelter cove California . I’ve painted houses for 32 years now . I used a lot of rust treatment products . But have to say the rust destroyer spray cans our the best product I’ve used . It makes it easy to apply in a spray can . No brush marks or thinners needed to clean tools when done . Not only does it cover the rust throughly but it converts it back to metal . Looks a lot like red oxide. But it’s an oil base formula that is patented , and allows you to paint with oil or water base paints with a 5 year guarantee To not rust . I use it on ever house and haven’t had a single problem it . I’ve used it on 32 homes in the last 3 years and no rust has come back . I recommend this product to people. A weekly bases. It is pricey, but you get what you pay for . But nice not to have to go back and repair or fix a problem .

It holds up real well

I can't comment on the chemistry of this product as far as a good primer just yet because I have only had it on for a few days on a metal chimney cap, but I can say the spray can apparatus is a nightmare, if you start your spray you better not stop because the tip clogs immediately, I made such a mess because of this, I do not recommend the spray applicator although the open top paint with brush can is probably ok, but as far as spraying this product forget it, it does not spray well at all.

I've used this product on many items and it has worked for me better than expected.I allow for several days of "curing" before applying any top coat paint.The color of this product is matte brick/adobe red like the cap; I like it so much that I sometimes do not apply a top coat paint.I am currently using "Rust Destroyer" to restore outdoor retro metal chairs ("motel chairs").

Applies nicely. Looks like most other red-oxide primers. Dries in 30 minutes. I can't really vouch for its rust inhibiting attributes, but I have used the quart sized brush-on versions with good success. Top coat compatibility and the convenience of an aerosol is a plus.

This stuff works. Sprayed on several bad rust spots. After couple of days pieces that had been bending from dusting were now solid metal again.

This product was bought to cover rusty nail heads under a out doors latex paint on sofit and wood trims.. Currently has not had the nail heads bleed through the paint. Early on it is working will have to visit this years down the road. Several other products have not held up.

This is a terrific product that I have used for many years. Great customer support from the manufacturer. Highly rated.
