What is the process?
Prepare | Prime | Finish
Prepare
Depending on what surface you have, you’ll need to ensure it’s properly prepared for your new paint. Our prep products allow you to effectively clean and treat rust and prepare the surface for priming without having to pay a hefty bill. We can walk you through the process. For fresh, unpainted surfaces, you’ll need to wash it to remove all oil, grease, dirt, and any other contaminants. For surfaces with surface rust or oxidation, you’ll need to remove this with a brush or other surface-specific tool, and most likely apply Rust Converter to rusted areas.
Preparation Products:
Rustblock Cold Gal
Zinc-rich, cold galvanizing primer for long-term, extra heavy-duty corrosion protection. This product encapsulates the metal in a zinc film, which is ideal for use on clean, rust-free steel in very corrosive environments such as coastal regions.
Rustblock Rust Converter
Rustblock Rust Converter converts rust to stop corrosion and provides a suitable surface for subsequent priming and painting. Rustblock Rust Converter interacts with metal iron oxides, converting them into an adherent black layer that is more resistant to moisture and provide a surface for various top coatings such as latex paints and enamels. Using a Rustblock Rust Converter, you are adding a double layer of protection against future rusting before you even topcoat.
Rustblock Fish Oil
Omega Rustblock Fish Oil is a deodorized, transparent, anti-rust protective coating designed to prevent the corrosion of all metal substrates. Rustblock Fish Oil has the capability to penetrate and protect inaccessible rust prone areas such as joints, cracks, side panels, sills and other metal areas and prevents further rusting. Rustblock Fish Oil forms a protective coating on metal and steel surfaces and penetrates rust scale to remove moisture and prevent further corrosion.
Prime
Priming is arguably the most important part of the process. We have high performance, heavy duty anti-corrosive primers. They form a tough and flexible coating in order to resist corrosion in even the harshest environments. It is very easy to prime your own surfaces.
