Description

Eastwood Paint Over Rust Encapsulator

Stop rust in its tracks with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator Black. This paint-over-rust formula is the easiest way to stop rust and corrosion from forming and prevent existing rust from spreading. It seals metal parts and penetrates beneath the surface to encase rust while leaving behind a paintable surface. Rust Encapsulator can be used as a primer for a variety of topcoats, or left as-is if you prefer a low-gloss finish. The black color is ideal for chassis and undercarriage rust prevention. With heat resistance up to 400 degrees, you can even apply it to the engine bay.

Using this automotive rust preventer is easy. Simply use a wire brush to remove loose rust, wipe with PRE Painting Prep to clean the surface and apply in brush or spray-on form. Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has proven to be superior in UV resistance, rust creep prevention and overall durability. Many other colors are available to help you Do the Job Right.

Rust Encapsulator Features:

  • SUPERIOR corrosion resistance to "hardware store rust paints" for greater durability (tested to 500 hours in a salt-spray chamber)
  • Epoxy-fortified for better adhesion and topcoat compatibility
  • Penetrates deeper to prevent rust from spreading or forming, even in hard-to-reach areas
  • Cures faster, and the low-VOC formula is acceptable in California
  • 15 oz. aerosol covers about 10 sq. ft.
  • UV resistance — a topcoat is not needed
  • Requires minimal prep and cures fast
  • Available in convenient spray aerosol or brush on quart and gallon sizes
  • Heat resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  • 2-10% gloss level
  • As seen on "My Classic Car" TV show

Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has been tested by an independent lab.

Rust Encapsulator When You Need to Paint Over Rust

Iron oxide is no match for our original Eastwood Rust Encapsulator® in a flat black finish. This aerosol paint-over-rust solution quickly stops surface rust before it can compromise the part’s structural integrity. Rust Encapsulator penetrates deep into the metal to prevent existing rust from spreading or future rust from forming. It’s also heat-resistant up to 400 degrees, which means it can be safely used in the engine bay or near the brakes. The convenient spray can application is easy for DIYers with fast curing times.. We fortify our over-rust aerosol with an epoxy that helps it stick to the metal and also helps topcoat paints adhere to the encapsulator. Or you can leave it as is for a cool OEM-black look on your suspension or chassis.

Outperforms the Competition

Our revolutionary automotive rust prevention aerosol outperforms anything you might find at a hardware store or local parts dealer. One 15-ounce can will cover roughly 10 square feet, which is adequate for suspension work and other small projects. Apply this matte black rust-stopping paint directly onto surface rust — it’s epoxy-fortified to resist corrosion and UV rays, meaning you can leave it as a topcoat or paint over it like a primer. Eastwood rust preventing spray paints are proudly made in the USA with a one-year warranty.

When tested against well-known brands, Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has proven to be superior in resisting sunlight, preventing rust creep and promoting overall durability. And by using a spray can, you can get to the nooks and crannies that are prone to rusting yet are hard to completely cover with a brush or paint gun. Eastwood's 100 percent customer satisfaction guarantee means you can shop with confidence every time you visit

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This paint works!! Trying to save the rocker panels on my 2010 Dodge. Cut out the rust (about 12 sq inches on each side) Applied several coats of Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. The paint went on really smooth, zero runs. Dried quite quickly too. While doing this project I had to remove the running boards. So I sanded the mounting brackets and painted them as well. I also painted a majority of the frame with the remaining paint. Good stuff.

Some of my chassis still has paint and some will be to bare metal. Is this product good to paint the whole thing, over the paint and bare metal?

Asked by: Randy
Yes, you can apply this matte black rust-stopping paint directly onto surface rust and over properly prepped existing finishes and bare metal surfaces. I would test an area first to make sure there is no reaction as we cannot guarantee no reaction if existing painted surface is unknown. It’s epoxy-fortified to resist corrosion and UV rays, meaning you can leave it as a topcoat or paint over it like a primer. Eastwood rust preventing spray paints are proudly made in the USA with a one-year warranty.
