A New Breakthrough in Rust Protection!
The premiere rust solution is now available from Eastwood: Eastwood's Rust Converter is a unique two-part acidic paint that actually converts rust into an inert iron oxide. You can watch it work: from its original pinkish-beige color, it will gradually turn blue/black as it stabilizes rust. The perfect first step in sealing your rusty or bare metal surfaces, Rust Converter even converts rust you can't yet see!
Get the ultimate in corrosion protection with an easy three-step process:
1. Prime - Use Rust Converter as a base coat for excellent penetration and adhesion to bare or rusty metal.
2. Encapsulate - Next, apply Rust Encapsulator to protect against further rusting, fill pinholes and other surface irregularities, and for excellent UV resistance.
3. Seal - For the best, longest-lasting protection against rust, chipping, and scratches, topcoat with Chassis Black to fully seal the metal against the elements.
Rust Converter is compatible with most polyester body fillers, and is water-based for extra safety versus solvent-based coatings. One quart of Rust Converter will cover about 50 square feet.
Rust Encapsulator Vs. Rust Converter
What makes Eastwood Rust Converter better than others on the market?
Rust converters work by initiating a chemical reaction that transforms rust into a more stable iron oxide. Eastwood Rust Converter is a highly effective and active rust converter that is optimized for the best possible results. Other Rust converters go on thick and have a tendency to create pores that can allow rust to start again. Eastwood Rust Converter has been formulated to be the best Rust Converter available. What makes it best? It’s a unique 2-part mix. The Rust Converter (Part A) is mixed 4 to 1 with Rust Converter Wetting Agentor (Part B). Only mix what you need because the mixed converter must be used within 3-5 hours. This 2-part mix allows this product to go on thinner and “wet” the surface better than other converters on the market yielding a stabilized base with minimized pinholes. This allows for more complete penetration of the rust.
When should I use Eastwood Rust Encapsulator and when should I use Eastwood Rust Converter?
For best results use Rust Encapsulator over Eastwood Rust Converter or on rusty surfaces that need a topcoat or where the convenience of an aerosol is required. Also the Rust Encapsulator allows you to choose among 3 colors (red, black, and silver) and a tintable clear. Providing a base primer that maximizes coverage of your top coat.
The Rust Converter provides an excellent, tough durable and chemically stable base to be applied under Eastwood Rust Encapsulator for the ultimate corrosion protection. This double coat technique both actively converts and encapsulates the surface for the most durable protection, while promoting excellent topcoat adhesion. Additionally, Eastwood Rust Converter is the best base prep to address rust on internal surfaces uncovered during panel replacement. Being water based, it is safer to weld near than solvent-based coatings.
What are the differences between Rust Encapsulator and Rust Converter?
Actually they’re two very different products. The Rust Encapsulator is very effective at penetrating thru firmly adhering rust to the base metal, and it forms a nice base for additional coats. The availability of a wide range of colors in both aerosol and quart cans, makes this ideal for many applications. Its ability to fill minor surface irregularities minimizes the need for additional primers and speeds prep for topcoats. Eastwood Rust Converter on the other hand is a two part acidic paint that converts rust on steel and iron to an inert blue/black iron oxide. It transitions from a beige color to a bluish black as it does its job of converting the surface. It forms a thin coating that usually requires additional primers to level the surface.
