Tim240z Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 If the test results on the site are anything to go by, and the description of how it adheres to the base metal.......then I would say YES! I think I will try it out on the frame of the 40 Chevy: http://www.itkillsrust.com/ Rust Bullet coatings have no complicated or tedious steps to follow for the preparation to take care of rust except the removal of loose rust and dirt. No pre-treatments or top coating is required. When applied, Rust Bullet does not form a film immediately, but soaks into the new surface or rusted surface being treated, reaching the metal to stop the problem where it starts. The method of protection* Rust Bullet uses, dries out the rust by chemical activity, allowing the resin to turn into a tough coating with excellent adhesion properties. The rust becomes mixed with-in cured Rust Bullet coating and remains a permanent part of the tough coating mixture. The second coat of Rust Bullet fills any small pinholes that may be left in the first coat, and forms a impenetrable coating that protects the surface from future rust. The method used for UV resistance** adds to the protection, and requires no topcoat for excellent UV protection. Any conventional paint can be applied over Rust Bullet after the second coat for decorative purposes if you wish. Rust Bullet has the greatest abrasion resistance of any of the products that were tested, and is very hard to chip, scratch, or dent. If a scratch or chip does occur, rust will not move beyond the chip or scratch. Nor will it lift, blister, or peel away from its leading edges in any significant degree. Simply using a touch-up of Rust Bullet later over the scratch or chip, reseals the coating, providing a very easy, low very cost maintenance step for the future.

80LS1T Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Well I dont have ANY rust on my car but that looks like good protection to keep the rust off of my car. Let us know how it works for you. Does it apply as easy as it says it does? Stuff like that! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannji Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 that stuff sounds like its RustGrip under a marketing name. If so, it is supposed to be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeizm Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Dont know if you get it over there but I covered my whole car with "Rustlac" its some pretty good stuff. My dad used some a car he once owned and the rust never came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannji Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 what is your time-frame, Topless? I am about to sign the contract for new roof, siding, and new windows, and will start pouring a slab for my garage extension right after, so I wont be actively working on the car until things cool off, probably october/november. I am also going to be using some of the other products from the company the produces RustGrip, like the SuperTherm and Superbase. I am trying to get some time built-in to the project so I can apply Superbase and Supertherm to my walls before siding, and the roof before Shingles. On the Z, I want to use the rustgrip, and then the Supertherm for the firewall and exhaust path. They are also deveoping a variant intended to treat manifolds, headers, and exhausts. Let me know, I might want to get in on that with you. Supertherm homepage, if anyone is interested. http://www.supertherm.net/home.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dladow Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I bought a quart of it and am pleased with the results so far. It sticks like crazy and only requires one coat. I applied it to floor pans, spare tire area, and to two areas on the outside of the car that are rusted through. Its been on the car for about 3 months now and it seemed to stop the rust dead in its tracks. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
