Serious rust removal ?
Try RUST MORT. I get it for about $20 a quart. I see it go for much
higher. Great stuff. Try and clean up rusty spots first. brush on with
paint brush or spray on. Let dry. Reapply 2 or 3 more coats. Metal turns
black.I did my Porsche 356 C gas cap which is very rusty. Its kinda shinny
metal turned rusty. I used Rust Mort on it and let it set up . Did this
several times. It turned like old flat black primer. I thought , that's a
bummer. I took Chrome cleaner with a scrubby pad, man tht ever shine up
almost like new. I sprayed it with clear. I love it. I am SOLD. I will
never will live without it. Now, I am RUST MORT and POR 15 crazy. You
gotta hold me down. Your can prime over it and paint. You can put POR 15
over it. Thats a good way to go. Did you know that on surfaces you can put
POR15 on with a paint brush and it dries smooth? No paint brush strokes.
It does not fill up holes or pitts. Buy POR 15 putty in a tube for that.
Great stuff. Good luck. I was successful. Hey, I will use this stuff even
when I die. I will Por 15 my casket so that it will never rust out. Ha!
It justa bout beats sandblasting. What a mess that makes all over the place
not to mention it getting into everything like Jack R.'s 84 westie engine
seals. Double bummer.
