It significantly reduces labor by minimizing sanding and wire brushing, offers excellent adhesion for topcoats, and creates a moisture-resistant barrier ideal for automotive, industrial, and household metal maintenance. ## Description Seymour rust converter can be applied to any iron or steel surface to penetrate rust and turn it into a protective Black coating. This protective coating will be resistant to moisture and prevents future rust growth. Just remove any loose rust, then apply it like a primer to rusted surfaces. Greatly reduces time spent wire brushing and sanding. Durable and tough, it can be left as is, but is also compatible with most top coats. Review: Professional-grade rust treatment that provides a perfect base! - If you are dealing with surface rust on a vehicle or household project, this Seymour Rust Converter is an absolute lifesaver. It’s a highly effective way to stop corrosion in its tracks and prepare the surface for a long-lasting finish. • Effective Chemical Conversion: This spray does more than just cover rust; it chemically transforms it into a hard, black, protective primer layer. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch the rusted surface turn into a stable base. • Excellent Adhesion: Once converted, the new surface provides a fantastic foundation for topcoats. I’ve used it on undercarriages and outdoor metal furniture, and the paint bonds perfectly without any peeling or bubbling. • Saves Time and Effort: While you should always remove loose flakes, this converter eliminates the need for grinding down to bare metal. It’s a huge labor-saver for complex shapes or hard-to-reach areas. • Durable Protective Barrier: The resulting black coating is tough and moisture-resistant. Even if you don’t paint over it immediately, it provides a solid layer of protection against further rusting. • Easy Application: The aerosol spray is consistent and provides good coverage. It goes on smoothly and dries relatively quickly, allowing you to move on to the next phase of your project. This is a must-have for any automotive restoration or metal maintenance kit. It’s a reliable, professional-grade solution that delivers excellent results every time! Review: Seymour says "see ya later" to rust! Leaves it in the black. - Does what it says it will, and holds up the the heat of my mower. I had a fair amount of rust on a zero turn mower that was many years old. I was able to clean that up a bit, and cover it with this. Now that mower looks like new to me, and it runs great. I had no problems with flaking. I have an extra can because I bought two expecting to not have enough in a single can, no regrets there this shows it is a great size. When applying it did go on thick if I did not keep moving, but it still dried to a solid, matte black surface with no visible rust. It was easy to use, easy to clean up if needed, and gave a great professional look to my project mower. ## Features - Suggested uses: vehicles, trailers, fences, railings, sheet metal and storage tanks - Penetrates rust and turns it into a protective Black coating - Prevents future rust growth - Greatly reduces time spent wire brushing and sanding - Durable and tough ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B018Y3JRE4 | | ASIN | B018Y3JRE4 | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #77,387 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #121 in Care Corrosion & Rust Inhibitors | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (544) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (544) | | Date First Available | 5 April 2016 | | Date First Available | 5 April 2016 | | Included components | Rust Converter | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 395 g | | Item model number | 16-45 | | Item model number | 16-45 | | Manufacturer | Seymour Paint | | Manufacturer | Seymour Paint | | Part number | 16-045 | | Product Dimensions | 20.32 x 5.72 x 20.32 cm; 394.63 g | | Product Dimensions | 20.32 x 5.72 x 20.32 cm; 394.63 g | ## Images ![Seymour 16-45 Rust Converter, Black | Converts rust on iron and steel into a black, paintable primer; cuts sanding and wire brushing, seals out moisture. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vGeYxDwmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you use bondo over this product?** A: yes, you can. **Q: how long does this set in to paint over it?** A: If it is a sunny day about ten minutes. its a great product. **Q: Will it work on rusty muffler and exhaust?** A: Yes, the Seymour 16-45 Rust Converter can be used on rusty mufflers and exhausts.
