Rust Converter
A rust converter is a chemical treatment that turns surface rust into a stable layer that can be painted over.
What is Rust Converter?
It is used where rust cannot be removed completely. Most contain tannic or phosphoric acid. The treated area usually turns black. Treated areas should be primed and painted soon after curing.
How it works
The acid reacts with iron oxide to form a stable compound that slows further corrosion.
Why it matters for your car
It is not a substitute for cutting out rotten metal. Remove loose rust and follow the drying time before painting.
