From: seabreeze on 4 Dec 2007 12:42 I would like to use a paint on rust converter to deal with surface rust on the underneath of my van. I have tried Loctite 7503 and Rust Doctor, but when I have used them before the rust still seems to come back under the paint despite carefully removing as much loose rust as possible, following instructions and using a red primer under top coat. Suggestions gratefully recieved.

Suggestions gratefully recieved. Kurust works for me, but I know that underbodies can be hostile environments, and the exact type of paint over it makes a big difference. You might like to consider POR-15. The Dinitrol products also have good reviews. Have a look at www.frost.co.uk and check out the "rust" link. Bear in mind though that Frost are not particularly cheap and you might find the same products locally too. -- asahartz woz ere

Suggestions gratefully recieved. blast it with a sand blaster then use a zinc primer, this is the longest lasting method I have found

Get it off an eBay supplier (I do) or places such as http://www.paco-systems.co.uk/rustconvert.html. or http://www.esyte.co.uk/vactan.html#protecta-kote I have used it on the children's cars -sills, suspension, brake pipes, backplates on rear drum brake and inside our cast iron house gutters. Easy to apply, not particularly hazardous to use like other solutions I have tried in the past and can be painted over without washing down etc. The daughters latest car was particularly rusty underneath so as a test I have painted all the rusty areas but not bothered with a top coat of paint just to see how it copes. The finish dries as a sort of plastic coating. Gio

Suggestions gratefully recieved. There is no lasting cure, but I've got a car that is now 52 years old, and I have had it for the last 23 years and paint (by squirting) the underneath with old engine oil every two years. A bit messy but costs nothing and works like a dream. Rob Graham |
