Rust Bullet RBA49 Automotive Rust Inhibitor Paint, 1/4 Pint

I used this on the hood of my 1972 VW super beetle and I'm about to apply it on the deck lid and roof. I used locktight rust remover gel on the small amount of rust spots, followed by a mild degreaser to wash, then applied rust bullet. It brushed on smooth, left no brush marks, covered beautifully and actually looks nice. I'm confident that this product will protect the metal while also creating a nice smooth even surface to paint over. I've had it on my hood for over a month now and its holding up well. The can is bit of a pain to open but, I'm 60yrs old with arthritis in my hands and I managed to get it off without spilling any so.....regardless of the 5 mins it took to pry it off, once I saw the performance of this product? I'd gnaw it off with my teeth if I had too (almost) to get it open the product is worth it. Don't shake the can, leave it upright, pry open and stir it well to insure you get no bubbles, and brush it on your classic vehicle with confidence. I just ordered more p!us a can of rust bullet whiteshell and a can of their blackshell which I plan on using inside and outside of my vehicle. You won't find a better product, don't let the difficult can scare u off this great product. Remember, if it gets bubbles while opening, let them dissipate before application, stir until mixed well with no bubbles for a perfect finish. Enjoy, and good luck with ur restoration project.

Small and quite expensive! Does it work? Only time will tell. It applied to my small rusty panel on a project car ok but now and that was a only one week ago so time will prove it's worth but no rust has showed through yet. Delivery time was ok but can only give three stars at this point. Fingers crossed but ask me again in twelve months and after a winter on the road.

I've used Rust Bullet for years on my 2000 4Runner that spent some time in the salty northeast. Prior to the salt exposure, I brushed Rust Bullet on all the common trouble areas: frame, joints, welds, etc. I then undercoated the remainder of the frame. This was over ten years ago. The areas where I applied Rust Bullet have remained 95% rust free, with only a few minor specks finally showing through here and there, likely from poor prep or rocks chips. With all rust treatments, surface preparation is critical. This applies like a paste and hardens exceedingly well. It's expensive, but a little bit goes a LONG way. Make sure to be cautious when you are first opening the can - it is very difficult to seal it up again if you don't use it all. I actually applied some cheap silicone caulk around the lip to ensure it won't harden on the shelf.

I didn't use this for a while, I'm going to write this review on one I purchased 6 months ago. First, it seems to stay like new over time as long as you don't open it. This stuff is Awesome, and this small container goes pretty far as to cover rust in many places. If you don't use the whole container, and you re-seat the cap, You might find it has pressure that will push the cap up. Weird issue, But I put large washer on top and bottom, and then used a C-clamp to hold it down. The cap then was stuck down so hard, you almost have to rip it off destroying the cap. Ok, 2 uses.. That's still great. My second bottle I didn't push the cap all the way down, and put silicon bead around the whole top which I believe I can peel off on my second use. Just a FYI, Figure out a good way to keep the cap on so you can use it 2-3 times. The stuff drys like a nice epoxy coat, I purchased 4 so far, and will cover every rust spot under my Jeep and Ram. I'm a Believer. If you are not familiar with rust coating products, this is one that I would recommend to ALL my friends.

I have used RUST BULLET Automotive - Rust Inhibitor Rust Paint on several different auto's for the exact same issue, Battery leaks under the hood that had caused rust in the engine bay. I remove the battery and tray and whatever else may be in the way of getting to all the rusted metal that was caused by the battery leak and clean it up the best I can then apply 2 to 3 coats of RUST BULLET Automotive - Rust Inhibitor Rust Paint and never have to worry about the issue ever again. This stuff forms a super tough coat of protection that stops rust in it's tracks and I can say, because I still own my HD truck of 19 years, that the rust has never come back even though I had a second battery leak it could not get through the super hard coating of Rust Bullet! If you are reading this review you should do what I have done, replace every battery in every vehicle with a AGM batter so you won't ever face this issue! I recommend Odyssey, yes they are more expensive but they last 3 to 4 times longer and will never leak or cause corrosion on your terminal cables. Also, on my daughters car after putting on 2 coats RUST BULLET Automotive - Rust Inhibitor Rust Paint I also put on 2 coats or Rust Bullet Clear Shot as RUST BULLET Automotive - Rust Inhibitor Rust Paint is a dull finish but the clear shot is clear is like the clear coat on your car but way tougher.
