Chemically Converts Rust & Prevents Future Rust Growth

The information says that you need to apply a topcoat to complete the job. Which of your paints would you recommend for a top coating on automotive chassis parts? I don’t want to choose something that will react with the rust converter and cause a problem. Thanks.

The HiTech engine enamels are an excellent choice. That said, any of our spray paints are compatible with the rust converter.

Question
Peter Rawlings –
What would happen if I sprayed topcoat before 24 hour dry time?
(0) (0)
Answer
Seymour Paint –
The cure time for your topcoat would be longer as the solvents still outgassing from the primer would have to work their way through the topcoat. You could accelerate the cure time of the primer with elevated temperature (~150F) or by setting it out in the sun.
