Rust Blast Works As Advertised

Purchased this product after some online research. Restoring a classic car. Gets the surface rust and grime off bolts and all metal products. Highly recommend!

Trust the 3 Step!

Regret not getting any before or after pictures but I cleaned, prepped and sealed the door sills of my 2000 toyota 4runner underneath the weather stripping because an excess amount of undesired rust had been discovered. My application process could have been made easier with the right tool but that was on me. Once this stuff dried, it is highly scratch resistant which is fantastic considering my feet tend to graze over this area, probably causing the rust in the first place. I'd trust KBS over any other kind of "Paint Over Rust" that's out there. Trust the 3 step process!

KBS Works Great

We used the three step system on our 1990 Jaguar XJS fuel tank. The car had been stored for 21 years and never ran. Tank looks like new with a very sound coating inside. Looks better than the commercial restorations costing over $600.

rust blaster

Worked well on very light rust only. I had to use other products for more serious rust. Products like naval Jelly and Must For Rust worked better over-all.

Etching

Using RUST BLAST in the prepping process of the roof of a project. 4 people to enable keeping it wet for 30 minutes and then flushing with water as per instructions. The result, a nicely etched roof ready for Epoxy primer.

The Good Stuff

While my tank was already fairly rust free internally, I did go ahead and give it the " Blast" just to insure a good bond with the "Gold". It looked even cleaner after the " Blast" treatment.

Great for prep

I deal with many rusty parts doing mechanical restorations. Didn't really have any type of rust inhibitor or anything other than wiping down or blowing off with compressed air. Now using RustBlast after cleaning I can see the extra rust that was left on the parts when rinsing them off.

Currently rebuilding a 1928 Chevrolet Roadster. This is the third car I have used KBS products on. They are easy to use and work as advertised. The photo is of the last car I used KBS products, a 1929 Model A, now my daily driver.

Rinse off with clear water

This is a great product but do not skip the last step to wash rinse the metal and then dry before coating the grey chalky coating will keep liner from adhering properly and cause it to peal down the road.

great product, great service

RustBlast did a great job of removing light rust and preparing the steel for paint. Heavy rust is a lot more of a problem. I do recommend the product. Great service and quick shipping. Will buy from again.

Q: Is RustBlast safe if it is gets on wiring, rubber, etc. during the process of using it on a car chassis?

Asked by: Mike - 1/2/2014

A: Yes, as long as the contact is casual and the RustBlast is rinsed off with water, RustBlast should not affect your wiring and rubber components.

Q: If I have new steel, do I have to let the RustBlast stay wet on the surface for the minimum of 30 minutes or can I do less time?

Asked by: YoYo - 12/4/2014

A: New steel is usually very smooth, so we highly recommend leaving the surface wet with RustBlast for a minimum of 30 minutes so that you have an ideal surface profile when you go to apply the RustSeal. Also, remember to keep the surface temperature as warm as possible (within our temperature guidelines) because the warmer the RustBlast is, the more effective the RustBlast is.

Q: I have a pellet grill of 10ga steel, will rust blast work on it to be top coated with a stove paint?

Asked by: Walter K - 7/31/2020

A: Yes, you can use RustBlast on steel to etch the surface in a high temperature coating application. We do recommend when rinsing the RustBlast with water to lightly rub the surface with a scotch brite pad which will remove the zinc phosphate that is typically left behind by RustBlast. You want to do that because zinc phosphate is not rated up to the temperature required for high temperature applications.

Q: Do I need to clean off the powdery phosphate prior to coating with paint?

Asked by: Edgar B - 3/30/2020

A: RustBlast is designed to leave behind a dusting of zinc phosphate after rinsed with water and this zinc phosphate aids in the adhesion of any coatings that are applied to the surface.

Q: Can epoxy primer or etch primer go over rust blast?

Asked by: Kain - 6/15/2020

A: Yes, you can etch a surface with RustBlast and then apply an epoxy primer, etch primer or any other kind of coating. RustBlast etches the surface and creates an ideal anchor pattern for the coatings to properly adhere to the surface.

Q: What color is RustBlast?

Asked by: Wet - 5/6/2022

A: RustBlast typically does have a dye in it. The reason: So a difference can be seen between RustBlast and KBS Klean as these two products are typically put in spray bottles for application. The color of the dye we use depends on what is available so please do not assume that one color of RustBlast is better than another color. The dye is simply in there so you know you are using RustBlast and not KBS Klean (which is clear).
