Product Description

RUST BULLET Automotive - Rust Preventive Protective Coating, Rust Inhibitor Paint, UV Resistant - No Topcoat Needed (Gallon, Metallic Gray)


From the manufacturer

ok

Rust Bullet - Automotive

Tested and Proven to be the best. Nothing on the market compares. We are Focused on providing products that are safe for the environment, without losing quality. Although all Rust Bullet Coatings can be brushed or rolled, our Automotive Formula contains more metal and is a bit thinner than our Industrial Formula. This allows for an easy application with HVLP spray equipment and provides a smoother finish usually desired for automotive projects.

Rust Bullet Automotive

EASY APPLICATION

Application Methods

  • Synthetic Brush
  • 3/8” Nap Roller Cover (Microfiber provides the best results)
  • HVLP (1.7-2.0 Tip & 30-60 PSI)

    Customers like the durability of the paint. They say it's based on a tenacious resin that forms a super tough coat of protection that stops rust in its tracks.

    "...-dries pretty damn hard, so not advisable to put on small nuts and bolts and probably not even large suspension nuts, either...." Read more

    27 customers mention15 positive12 negative

    Customers are mixed about the value of the paint. Some mention it's a great product for the price, while others say it'd be better spent on other options.

    "...rust and keep it from worsening or spreading though it is a little pricey." Read more

    Great Product - Use as directed
    5 Stars
    Great Product - Use as directed
    Notes:-urethane-based product - you'll need acetone to clean brushes for multiple uses-good coverage, but plan on two coats (because little pit-spots that must be sealed to arrest not just slow rust)-dries pretty damn hard, so not advisable to put on small nuts and bolts and probably not even large suspension nuts, either. two coats reduced chipping off.The top on my can was weak tea. Had to bend to open first time and peel back with strong needle-nose pliers. The can above is from after the third reseal - avoid getting the product on the rim, as it will dried hard as a sealer.

    Made my frame look like new and matches the Color of a Honda TRX450R frame almost perfectly. Looks like this stuff is never coming off! Highly recommended. Tiny 1/4 Pint went along way with a proper setup gun. Was only able to do one coat but it appears plenty. A+
