That's what I did. You can always grind more away if you need.

Also what is rust conveter like.What do you spray on over you convert it?

- Thu Jan 13, 2011 9:43 pm #233074 Primer the surface and then just do a can of aerosol paint for now. Primer is porous so it will absorb water/moisture. Some paint will seal the primer surface.

There's alot of rust converters out there... First grind or wire brush as much of the rust from the surface and remove all the scaling rust. Then apply the convertor and let it sit per the instructions of the product. then continue to follow the directions of that specific product. The one I used before said to wash the product off with water really well. I used it on old rusty seat rails probably a year and a half ago and never got around to painting them. The rails w/ exposed bare metal has been sitting in my garage and the rust has not come back :woot:
