Anyone tried this stuff?
Discussion
Just doing a little research for alternative products for a little chassis tidying I am considering. I came accros this company/product:-
http://www.rustoleum.co.uk/
The primers seem to offer a zinc galvanisation and state they are tested on up to 500 hours of salt water exposure and can be sprayed of brushed on. Their metal paints claim to stretch and not crack under flexing. It all sounds good and looks to be just what I'm after.
Anyone used these products on their chassis or have any views??

Hi,
I managed to obtain 5litres of this paint in the 70's when Peterhead first became involved in the oil industry.
Seemingly it was then used as a primer for some north sea applications. I used it on some on my cars, 5L goes along
way when doing small patches. If I remember correctly it did fend off the rust but unless it is going on virgin metal
your preparation has to be spot on. Hope this helps.
Cannot remember the name but it was Jaffa orange in colour.

Yes, thats what I used on my S chassis after a bit of repair work about 18 months ago. After all the usual scrapping, sanding, grinding, wire brushing etc (wishbones and all other removeable bits were sand blasted) any old but solid metal was treated with some "rust converter" type primer (the stuff that goes on white but turns black where there's been rust) then a coat of good old Red Oxide and two coats of Red Rustoleum.Its very thick, very slow drying (24 hours) and very difficult to get off block paving and out of hair !
Colour is pillar box red but flash makes it look orange
