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.

What do you think? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2010#post-2780 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:16:31 +0000 Pinktip 2780@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi, I have a 99% solid 500gal diesel tank.</p> <p>I just cleaned the tank to check for any pits on the bottom<br /> where water was laying. There are several shallow on one end in a area on the bottom center line. Can I coat the tank partially on the bottom ~ 12" off either side of the center line?<br /> ~1 gal of KBS?<br /> My concern is if the tank isn't completely encapsilated with KBS,<br /> the fuel will ge behind the coating an cause failure.</p> <p>Any info, advice, appreciated.

My question is: when I look into the tank I see 2 bad rust spots that don't seem to dry. They appear waxy almost. The rest of the interior of the tank looks super, almost galvanized! I should note that I soldered the bad rust holes from the outside of the tank before I proceed with the cleaning. I supose it is possible that the waxy spots I see are residual flux from the soldering process. I dried the interior of the tank wit forced air cool and heated for about 6 hours and I assure you it is dry. How should I proceed with the spots. I'm ready to seal the tank but don't want a coating failure at this point in the project. Help </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/1992#post-2715 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 05:59:23 +0000 bambookoo 2715@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi </p> <p>i used rust blast and after cleaning i can see some light rust spots left. should i treat it again or can i use the rust seal over it?</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/1993#post-2716 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:42:46 +0000 beetle 2716@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I've just completed the Rust Blast surface prep of my bike's tank. The Rust Blast was in the tank for 50 mins, and the tank was rolled every few minutes to allow full coverage. After draining and flushing, I noted that all the 'rust' colored stuff was gone, but there is quite a bit of very hard black looking rust remaining. Will the tank sealer adhere to this stuff, or should I look at giving it another Rust Blast treatment? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1994#post-2723 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:45:04 +0000 rob 2723@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>how hazardous is the used aquaclean and rustblast how do you dispose them </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1990#post-2711 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:07:08 +0000 lindsay4051 2711@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Can I use the tank sealer with an aluminium tank and do I just follow the same instructions as for a steel tank?

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/1987#post-2703 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:32:03 +0000 TD 2703@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I recently order a motorcycle tank kit. I cleaned the tank out with the Aqua clean and let dry. This actually did a good job and a lot of loose rust was washed out leaving quite a bit of bare metal visible.<br /> I then used the rust blast for about 30 minutes. I rinsed it as thouroughly as possibly and let it dry. A rust like coating formed over most of the surfaces even the ones that were clean after the Aqua clean. Some of this can be rubbed off.</p> <p>How should I proceed before using the rust seal?<br /> cheers </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/1985#post-2699 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:58:47 +0000 robertvdm 2699@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I'm wondering if NuMetal stands pressure. My gastank has holes in it and to make sure every hole is fixed, I use air- pressure, but I'm not sure if the pressure blows the NuMetal out again. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1961#post-2633 Sun, 31 May 2009 21:48:32 +0000 Glennb 2633@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Can you tell me the amount of Aquaklean, Rustblast and Gold sealer I would need for this size tank. Also exterior coating recommendations. This is a baffled tank and has corrosion on the outside to go along with a pin hole in one corner. I plan to tig weld the corner after cleaning. Do you see any problems with this? Just don't want to blow myself up after cleaning. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1983#post-2693 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:33:43 +0000 goldpan52 2693@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>has has 1 inch hole and multiple smaller holes, how do i keep cleaner in tank so i can repair tank with flame </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1984#post-2694 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 03:45:22 +0000 Russell 2694@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi Guys,</p> <p>Can NuMetal epoxy withstand light sandblasting?</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Russell </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1982#post-2691 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:15:46 +0000 timmmyhett 2691@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Is Strip safe to use on urethane bumpers and plastic? </p>
