I am a firm believer in not reinventing the wheel. I am looking into clearing rust off and then painting over it. I have seen the standard rustoleum products and wondered which ones work best or if others are used.
Here is what I have; Rustoleum Hard Hat paint and to remove the rust I was going to use their rust reformer as they call it to prep the area.
What do you guys think? |

Thomas: I have used POR on old volkswagens and it works great, but you need to be a little careful with it. Another choice which I will be trying soon is Zero Rust, www.zero-rust.com.
It has a prep wash and can be ordered in bulk and in spray cans. I plan to use the primers to spray my 1967 series 2a bulkhead, prior to spraying with the Rustoleum Sage Green, which is very close to the original pastel green.
Good luck, David Woo |

Guys, would these be a match for a d90 rear cross member. I was wondering how to prep and paint it. There is some rust there now, dosn't seem too "deeply rooted". Most of my painting experience is from hazard lines on golf courses. (IDKS about it)! |

POR 15 is great. From what I can tell, it will totally encapsulate rust, forever. I've used it, and I've seen some cars that have had it on for several years, and it hasn't changed a bit. Just sand and paint over it, as it breaks down in sunlight. |

FWIW, according to the POR15 website, although the appearance of it will degrade with UV exposure, the effectiveness of it will not. It is recommended to paint over it, just to keep it looking good.
