Has anyone ever used this product? If so what is your opinion?

 

I used it once a few years ago. I removed all paint back to bare metal and then applied rustbullit. Only downside is that you have to sand rustbullit before applying primer and its bloody hard. Otherwise it seemed to perform well. Rustbullit or por15 are pretty muchthe same.

 

I was thinking floors, inner fenders, trunk. I also found some stuff from Eastwood called Encapsulator. So many things out there you don't know which one is best.

 

I found this stuff a while back when another member was looking for similar ideas. This claims to be as good or better than POR15 and dries in only 30 minutes, plus cleanup is easy since it's water soluble until dry. http://www.therustdoctor.com/ They also have a product called 'Grease Doctor' used to degrease / prep the surface to be painted.

Got an email from Rodger Busse (no idea if that's Shell Busse's bro) saying that he can send it out via mail to almost anywhere.

 

I don't believe you will find POR15, rust bullett, or pretty much any eastwood product in a professional body or restoration shop. In my opinion(and most other industry professionals) there's only one way to address rust. Get rid of it! Sand it or blast it away then coat the metal properly with etching or epoxy primer.

I hear about POR15 on the internet all the time, but being in the industry all my life, I've never seen it used in a shop. I was just checking out Rust Bullet's website because I'm not familiar with them and they proudly advertise that it will stop rust for 10 years. Do you still plan to have the car in 10 years? If so, do you want to start over again?

Just my opinion. All of that encapsulator, coverter, etc are nothing more than high quality band-aids you can slap on a bullet wound.

 

Having my car rustbulleted was my choice not the choice of the panel shop. The guys at the panel shop said they wouldn't normally use this product as it is quite time consuming to use, and adds to the overall price of doing the job. I think that generally panel shops like to use products that they know and that are easy to apply and work with. It doesn't mean that rust bullet is a bad product just that its easier for them to use something else. Just my opinion. I was and still am happy that i used rust bullit. By the way I did remove all the rust before I applied the RB. It was more of an insurance thing for me to not have future problems.

 

A little extra insurance never hurt anybody.

 

Yeah......me too. I've never heard of any of those products until I joined this site.

The only way I've addressed rust is cut it out or sandblast it out.

 

i have used rust bullet on my 73 nova.the shop recommended it to me. there was only 2 spots of rust,they were cut out and repaired.i covered all interior body parts,fenders 1/4s ect. we will see how it works.
