Just another comment on the KBS rust seal, I've tried it as a one step and a 3- step. Works fine either way, I think manufactures try to make sure you have a good clean surface so you get a good bond. As long as its clean, you can brush the rust seal on like por 15. The rust blast (step 2) is kind of a primer in a spray bottle, I use it, no big deal.





thanks, Mark

another vote for POR-15, it self-levels and looks really nice, almost like powder-coat, here is a thread from another build with some pics

I used the degreaser and the acid wash from POR-15 as well before I put on the paint, since then I've used other degreasers to get the grease off before painting and as long as you get the grease off it works great, very durable and flexible.

tried some KBS on a small section of the car's trunk; followed all 3 steps; works well, but I'm looking for a "one step" product if I can find one... so far, looks like its RustBullet or POR...

When I was searching for a gas tank sealer product, I found a company called KBS coatings. I have been using a product called rust seal, with excellent results.The stuff comes in different colors, about 44$ a quart. They recommend a water based cleaner, and an etch product, but I have used it right on rusty metal, and it bonds well. If you buy this stuff or por 15, rust bullet, stop at your local paint store and buy an empty can, pour 1/2 of it in there. These cans are hard to re-open after a couple of use's. Put a sheet of plastic over the can when you put the lid on. Check out their website, they also have engine paint, heat paint, lots of good stuff, super fast shipping





thanks, Mark

I just finished doing the samething to my '58 Custom 300. Here's the results:

I would also recommend the Por-15 stuff. It does stand for Paint-Over-Rust anyhow.

well, Waller is quite a holler from my end of town.  May go with a test of the Rust Bullet product... that is, when I have scraped about 75 more lbs of gunk, rust, grease and dirt off the frame of the car...

hey, wait a minute... this is son's first car... HE will be doing all the scraping!!

thanks to all for the suggestions... hopefully will post some pics of the process soon; right now its mostly greasey... and nobody wants to see greasey, right??!!

I know of at least two POR 15 dealers in the Houston area. Don't know if this one is handy for you, but it is where I buy mine. They are in Waller, TX out toward Hempstead. It is right on my way into Houston on Hwy 6.

Most of the POR 15 brush jobs will blend together and look like spray painting. I really like it.

When you cannot dazzle others with your brilliance, baffle them with bullcorn!

i haven't used it on frame but did the whole floor board in my 54. with por-15 i was very pleased with the results,i went with the brush/roller method. like stated above make sure any loose rust or debris is removed and use disposable tools.

just a word of caution bearing in mind you said you would be using brushes

i sprayed POR-15 on the underside of my truck and ended up with the local medicine man!

i had a pressurised hood but rolled onto the air feed and some how breathed some in. its not good and medicine man just rolled his eyes and said " there's nothing i can do" he had two others (professional sprayers) on his books and the best he could do was help with compensation claims.  i survived ok but it did scare me

good luck and be careful

I have also had good success with POR15. Use throw away burshes and wear gloves. As stated, make sure it is clean and no grease.
