I need a really good paint like rustseal to go on as a primer before I gold leaf a stone pinnacle on a building. The gold leaf needs a sound base to adhere to </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2047#post-2876 Wed, 26 May 2010 12:31:21 +0000 74spit 2876@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi. Can RustSeal be used on the inside of an engine oil pan?<br /> I have a custom fabricated oil pan that Weeps oil through porosity in the weldments. I would like to coat both the inside and outside of the pan to seal it. I can strip the pan down to bare metal before I start. Thanks. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2028#post-2827 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 13:48:33 +0000 jbright 2827@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I bought a gallon of the rust blast and a gallon of the silver rust sealer. I removed all of the flakey rust and loose paint with a 5" wire wheel on my side grinder. I then sanded the entire trailer(outside) with 80 grit. I then used the rust blast in the spots where there was active rust. I did small areas at a time so I could keep it wet for at least an hour. I washed off the trailer and painted the entire trailer with a thin coat using a brush so I could get every nook and cranny. Any of the areas that had a run or if the paint was heavier, the paint drys with a "beaded up" look. Looks terrible. Those areas have to be completely sanded down almost to metal. So I decided to spray the second coat on to get a more uniform coating and wound up with the same thing. Anywhere the paint is a little heavy, it drys looking like sandpaper. Could it be temperature related? I realize that I'm not going to get a showroom finish unless I topcoat it, but this just looks bad! </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2018#post-2799 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 09:18:01 +0000 FireDragon 2799@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Is there a performance difference between the different rustseal colours? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2013#post-2788 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:30:03 +0000 ridetheworld 2788@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I read the section on Rustseal color choice on the website but I thought I would post the question to be sure I dont misunderstand.</p> <p> Is there a real durablity difference between the different colors? And if so, could you please elaborate?</p> <p> My application will be on an indoor high traffic motorcycle hydraulic lift, so it would have the usual tools, parts, and mild chemicals exposure on it. I'm partial to the gloss black but would gladly sacrifice color, for durablity. The lift is 1/4" steel diamond plate that measures 7'x2', and I'd like to coat the top with 2-3 coats,( is 2 coats enough?) and the bottom with one coat. Will a pint will cover 56 sq ft?</p> <p> Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I beleive I was applying it too thickly. I presume I need to sand these areas down and re-paint?<br /> If they do need repainting then do I have to go back to metal or just until the surface is smooth and the air bubbles have been exposed?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Mike </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1989#post-2709 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:00:36 +0000 marsmars 2709@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Stayed up till 3am (waited for kids to be in bed) to spray for my first time ever. I sprayed a cab with 2 coats of rust seal and noticed some runs and dust in the finish this morning. I know rust seal is not a finish coat, but I want to eliminate the flaws before I spray a top. </p> <p>1.How long should I wait before I sand out the imperfections?<br /> 2.Would 400 grit work well enough?<br /> 3.After sanding the rustseal smooth, do I have to reapply another coat of rust seal or can I just continue with the top coat. </p> <p>Thanks </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1995#post-2726 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:15:10 +0000 bambookoo 2726@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi<br /> i am in the process of coating a whole car with your products such as rust seal and top coat<br /> i would just like to know about the grounding points on the vehicle<br /> i can sand the areas down but i would think that those areas will rust<br /> could you please advise me on how to tackle this<br /> thanks </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1988#post-2706 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:20:46 +0000 beetle 2706@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I'm restoring a motorcycle that I think had a factory powder coated frame. I had planned to get the frame and several brackets sandblasted and powder coated, but now I'm wondering if the KBS Chassis Coater kit plus a Topcoat might produce similar results. It would save me some money and reduce the amount of work required in masking every threaded hole, plus I get that DIY satisfaction.<br /> What do you think? PS, I will be using the KBS Motorcycle Tank Sealer kit on the tank as well... </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1986#post-2701 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:07:37 +0000 plowguy 2701@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I have a snow plow that I intend to sandblast, then RustBlast and RustSeal. I would like to topcoat it with a color that matches the red RustSeal very closely. A few questions:</p> <p>I want to confirm that if I spray on my topcoat within 6-12 hours (according do your diagram here: <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/Flow-Chart--RustSeal-on-Steel_ep_87-1.html)" rel="nofollow">http://www.kbs-coatings.com/Flow-Chart--RustSeal-on-Steel_ep_87-1.html)</a> I do not need to sand and etch it as long as I do it within this timeframe correct?</p> <p>What categories of topcoat paints (a brand recommendation would be nice), in your experience, adhere well. I'm looking for a UV protective option. Are the paints I should avoid?</p> <p>Lastly, I anticipate 3 coats of RustSeal. Is a quart enough to do a plow or - do I need a gallon (I think around 40 sq ft front/back)? What are the coverages?</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1974#post-2674 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:25:54 +0000 Russell 2674@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi;</p> <p>I am just wondering how will the KBS galv finish come up after brushing? I have been told it is best to spray it to get a uniform, flat finish.</p> <p>I am painting a fuel tank that will be visible from inside the boot of the car, so it needs to look A1</p> <p>If I get a much better result from spraying I will go that extra mile, but if the result is the same, ill go the brush route.</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Russell </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1964#post-2645 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 15:37:32 +0000 rileyriver 2645@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Looking to paint rusty tv antenna tower.<br /> Does the galvanized rust seal need a additional<br /> top coat for UV stability.<br /> thanks </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1962#post-2640 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:34:36 +0000 BillJ 2640@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I am restoring a 1951 Chevy Pickup and a friend suggested using a gloss black RustSeal on my freshly sandblasted parts. He says that the KBS RustSeal will act as a primer on the metal and the gloss black will make it easier to see all the metal problems for the body repair. Can you do body repairs over the KBS rustseal? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1958#post-2610 Mon, 18 May 2009 17:59:14 +0000 awlriteeden 2610@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>My motorcycle is kinda beat up, so I've decided not to apply a top coat to the RustSeal since I understand that any degradation of the RustSeal coating will be purely cosmetic. Is this correct?</p> <p>Also, how will the RustSeal (satin black) degrade? Will it just lose it's sheen, or will it turn grey or something? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1955#post-2603 Mon, 11 May 2009 09:30:20 +0000 brubzy 2603@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>The bottom of my Jeep door is a little rusted out, can this product help with stopping the rust and sealing it?

I have very small bubbles in the finish and I would like to find out what I need to do here. <br /><br />Hoping I do not have to strip and start over. this was just the first coat.<br />I plan on putting 3 coats down, then followed by Blacktop.<br /><br />Also, how long MAX should I wait between coats of rustseal? I have limited time to work on this project and will probably be giving coats every night until done.<br />Thanks<br />Ryan http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post- Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:13:15 +0000 Anonymous @http://support.kbs-coatings.com/
