Our chemists were able to harness the effectiveness of Eastwood's 2-component Rust Converter and put it into a convenient aerosol. This handy aerosol lets you get to hard to reach areas such as inner fender walls, floor pans, and engine compartments. Like the original, Aerosol Rust Converter transforms rust into an inert coating that can be top coated with Rust Encapsulator or Chassis Black. Safe for use on any steel or iron surface. One can covers about 10 - 12 square feet.

Eastwood Rust Converter will convert areas only where rust is present. If there is no rust present, there will not be anything for the product to react with and adhere to. You will only see it convert rust in the areas where it is present.

The surface should be clean and dry before application of Rust Converter. If moisture is present or the surface is damp this can cause the product to dry milky white or not adhere to surface.

When preparing the surface it is important not to take it down to the bare metal. If this occurred, a metal primer is needed in place of the rust converter. To prepare the surface remove loose particles of rust and debris with a wire brush or rag. Remove any grease, oil, or salt residue using PRE. Please note that any residue left on the surface will interfere with the adhesion of the product.

Eastwood Rust Converter should be stored in a cool dry place protected from freezing or temperatures above 100F. Optimum results are obtained when the surface temperature and the product are between 50F and 95F. Do not apply if the surface temperature is below 50F as it will take longer for the product to react and form a hard surface. This can also cause the product to dry milky white or not fully adhere to the rust. If the temperature of the surface is significantly higher than 95F, it can cause some of the components to evaporate too quickly and interfere with adhesion.

Application - It is important to apply a thin coat first and allow it to dry before applying a second coat. Allow the surfaced to cure for 48 hours and protect it from moisture, rain, or dew. On thick areas or deep encrustation of rust it is important to wire brush these areas to as level to the surface as possible without removing all the rust. The product will absorb into deep rust leaving little product on the surface resulting in rust bleed through, if not properly prepped.

Always use appropriate eye, skin, and respiratory protection when using this product. Safety information is also located on can.

I used the aerosal can and sparyed a metal trunk header piece. Started out O.K. and turned nice black in about 12 hours. I let it sit for about 3 days. Going to prime the piece and started to wipe it down with some Prep. "Pre" from here and it started to flake off. Stopped wiping and let it dry another two days. Primed it and it looked good. One week later the primer is bubled and you can scratch it all off with your finger and rust iis forming under it. What gives. just glad i didn't top it yet. I did the rest of the parts with fast etch and much better results. DO NOT use this unless the parts are really rusted in my opinion, otherwise it will just sit on the metal and never fully dry. I prob will not use this again.

Product was put on sanded metal surface that had rust only in pittd areas. Stuff never seemed to dry or convert the rusted pits. If it is not cleaned well off base metal, it attacks the primer coat and cause more blistering/rust.

While the rust converter seems to work OK,
it doesn't work quickly.
The instructions on the can state: "Allow 48 hours
to completely cure before painting." At 50-55 degrees F the cure seems to need 72 hours or more.
I need a rust converter which will cure 100%
on the same day.

Works well on rust as advertised as long as you don't put it on too thick. If you do put on too much or if it gets on surfaces that are not rusty it will NEVER dry. I sprayed the underside of the louvred cowl vent on my 59 Chevy Apache that was partially rusty and partially still painted. The painted areas never dried and I ended up scrubbing it off with acetone. Not fun scrubbing louvres as you can imagine.I didn't see a warning about this on the can, but maybe I missed it. In any case, I wont' be using it again.
