anti-rust product called ZERO RUST

[beandip]

Has anyone of us used this product ? If so what is your openion as to is success in stoping rust when applied as the maker says. Here in Ore. the state is using it on bridges and lightstanders even when exposed to the salt air along the coast. I would hope they have tested it first. POR -15 is great but this stuff is alot less money and mainly it is much less trouble to use. I have had it recommended to me to use on the sand blasted and bare metal on my Z, but I just wanted some other input from a user of the product. One thing of this product is that it can be applied just like regular paint , and over surface rust that is free of oil and dirt and loose scale. That is what the dealer says . to a 3 mill thickness ( two coats ) .

That doesn't sound any different than POR-15. To get a surface that is "free of oil and dirt" you'll need something like the POR-15 "marine clean". If the surface is clean fresh metal (not already rusted) you'll need something like "Metal Ready" to give the surface more to grip. Unless this product can also be used on clean, smooth metal it seems to be the same. How much cheaper is it?

It's about 1/2 the cost of POR-15 . The thing is it can be applied with a regular paint spray gun , and yes there must be a proper prep , but no different than with any paint . Also it comes in several colors and can be topcoated withe any paint if needed and is not effected by ultra-violet like POR . It is non toxic and not as thick as POR. My question is it any good at rust controll and prevention, or at least how does it compair with POR . At my age I dont even buy green bannanas or engage in long conversations ! So either would do me fine I guess , but having gone through all the trouble of dismanteling the whole car I would like to use a product that does what it says it does. :classic: take a look at zerorust.com autobodystore.com
