Product Description
Don't remove rust, convert rust. Corroseal rust converter is an elite, industrial strength product for all your marine, household, automotive, and industrial rust problems. Extend the life of your metal equipment by protecting it from rust and corrosion. Rust occurs naturally when the iron in steel oxidizes and returns to its original state, iron oxide. Through an innovative chemical conversion process, Corroseal Rust Converter converts rust into a stable substance, magnetite. It also primes the surface with a high quality latex metal primer at the same time. Corroseal truly provides one step corrosion control. Corroseal is the best way to deal with rust because it is less expensive, less time consuming, and is much more than sandblasting. Corroseal eliminates the need to sandblast rust by chemically converting rust from iron oxide to magnetite, a black and inert substance. Corroseal rust converter is your best rust treatment and corrosion control option because it meets all your metal surface preparation needs by converting the rust and priming the metal surface at the same time.

STEP 1: Prepare the Surface
Follow these four easy steps and breathe new life into your work.
STEP 1: To start, remove large pieces of rust scale so Corroseal has a surface of fine rust to convert. This will avoid chipping later.
STEP 2: Clean the Surface
STEP 2: Scrub clean removing oil and dirt.
Start with a clean surface. Oil and dirt can make it difficult for Corroseal to adhere and react as needed, so cleaning first is crucial. Do not use an oil based cleaner for this step. We highly recommend Corroseal Cleaner for metal surface prep. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Then rinse again just to be sure.
STEP 3: Apply Corroseal
STEP 3: Using a brush, roller or spray, apply a thick coat of Corroseal. The thicker, the better. It will be white when first applied, then begin to turn black as it converts rust. Check in 15 minutes, if brown or gray spots peak through, apply another thick coat. A second coat is encouraged to get all rust covered with no seepage. Check again in 15 minutes and reapply as needed.
STEP 4: Paint & Enjoy
STEP 4: Once dry, it is primed and ready for paint. Painting will ensure extra protection from future rust. Enjoy!

I used a product in the late 80's or early 90's on my tailgate on a Ford Ranger that started to rust. It had a different name but it also went on like milk, then turned Black. I've purchased other converters since then that seemed "watered down" and didn't work nearly as effective. I assumed it had something to do with environmental or health concerns as to why I couldn't find it. It was of a different name but this is the same stuff. Worked wonders then, after two coats. It's not passed the test of time yet however, I have used it on my trailer and spots under my truck.
This is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-corrosive, applies easily. I have nothing bad to say about it so far. Make sure you get all the loose rust off but NOT down to bare metal. It needs a little rust to stick. I had some drip onto the paint on my trailer, no big deal but it did "alter" the color of the paint. On bare metal, it seems to leave a film coating that comes off with my finger nail but over rust, you would have to sand it off. Very glad I found this rust converter again, It works GREAT. I see so many vehicles with rust destroying their cars in Pennsylvania snow/salt state. I can't believe drivers are unaware of this solution, after all, a smaller black patch may not look the best but a larger patch of rust looks much worse and that's where your small rust spot is headed.
This may not be a "Professional" repair but it's also not at a "Professional repair cost". Sure, $53 is a lot of money but this stuff works and very easy to apply and over-all, its much less expensive to apply this than to ignore your rust spot. So easy anyone can do this and a gallon goes a long way. Even if you only did nothing to the rust and just applied it over the rust you would be much farther ahead. But if you do that, you'd have to wait until more of the rust flaked off (because it will if you don't first remove the flaking) but apply a little more over where it flaked off and your good to go. Also, if there are "paint bubbles" where rust is developing under the paint, remove the bubble, you will see rust under there. Apply Corroseal. I would highly recommend you get in there with a screwdriver without much pressure and remove the loose stuff and maybe go over it with a wire brush, clean the dust off, dry the area and apply, that's it and your resale value will show the difference as a small patch of this is better than a large patch of rust...You can also paint over this if you want, but you will still the area because it will not have the smooth texture of new paint, it will just hide it a little. Don't forget your undercarriage. If you live in a snow belt state and you have no rust yet, Wash the underside once a week but eventually a stone will break the paint seal and rust will start.
Once you know this, and that your brush strokes won't show - which I was initially worried about - then you can just slop the stuff on more quickly. What this is, is a clear coating - that happens to also turn rust black, and seals it in a clear coat.
That said, my main purpose for using this was to kill the rust in my pickup truck bed and seal and protect it from further rust damage. I live at the coast, and the rust was winning thanks to the salty air here. I lightly sanded the entire bed of my compact 93 Nissan pickup - the inside walls and the bottom. Then I scrubbed it with water only to get rid of dirt that had accumulated around screws, etc., then I ran it through a local car wash, as I don't have access to a hose at my apartment complex. The car wash also helped dry it. I chose an option with water and soap only.
The next day after the sun came out and the truck bed was completely dry, it was about 60 degrees. I only needed one quart for my job. I bought two separate quart bottles, in case I wouldn't need them both. I'm glad I did it that way. Amazon let me return the second bottle.
My advice - you will wonder if you're putting it on thick enough. I think I overdid it, but I did get really good coverage. Only the rusted spots turned black and you will see those areas turning black pretty quickly - within just a few minutes. So, if it's not turning black, it will just leave a clear coat there. So, don't think the problem is that you need to put more Corroseal on it, to get it to turn black. You just need good coverage - not multiple coats. When I went out the next morning, the black areas had grown and gotten darker. So, it will continue to "cure" overnight.
I did end up with some areas that show whitish drip lines around the inside walls of the bed. I think this happened because I kept putting more coats on that weren't necessary, and perhaps it had dried to much? It's still coated, and if you were planning to paint it, it wouldn't matter. It still looks overall so much better than it did before, I'll get over the very minimal drip lines, that probably nobody else would ever notice or care about anyway. The coating darkened up the paint and it looks so much better. The paint was really faded in my pickup bed, and with the coating on it, it's a much deeper color and shiny.
If you drip some onto your bumper, it will show the next day as a shiny spot - it's like Varathane. So, you might want to pay attention and wipe up any drips or spots. Still, the overall change in my truck is amazing. The bed is spotted with black and red (truck color), but it looks a deeper color and shiny, and no longer looks rusty at all.
I also put some on my chrome wheels that had a few rust spots and it looks good. There was also a rusty spot on the front bumper where the previous owner scraped it, and I applied some there, and it turned it black, so now matches the bumper better. At any rate, for about $30 total, with a 3" roller (which made the job easy) some sponge brushes, etc., my truck looks eons better, and is now protected from further rust damage.
I did take some photos and will see if I can upload them later.
Edit: I added photos. They are the truck before any prep, the bed half-way coated - note where you can see some black but the rest is just a clear coat, a close-up of the bed where you can see areas where it turned black but the rest is a clear coat, the bumper after treated which used to be rust-colored and the final after photo of the truck. Although not the even black finish I'd hoped for, it still looks a million times better.
