Seymour 16-45 Rust Converter, Black

If you are dealing with surface rust on a vehicle or household project, this Seymour Rust Converter is an absolute lifesaver. It’s a highly effective way to stop corrosion in its tracks and prepare the surface for a long-lasting finish. • Effective Chemical Conversion: This spray does more than just cover rust; it chemically transforms it into a hard, black, protective primer layer. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch the rusted surface turn into a stable base. • Excellent Adhesion: Once converted, the new surface provides a fantastic foundation for topcoats. I’ve used it on undercarriages and outdoor metal furniture, and the paint bonds perfectly without any peeling or bubbling. • Saves Time and Effort: While you should always remove loose flakes, this converter eliminates the need for grinding down to bare metal. It’s a huge labor-saver for complex shapes or hard-to-reach areas. • Durable Protective Barrier: The resulting black coating is tough and moisture-resistant. Even if you don’t paint over it immediately, it provides a solid layer of protection against further rusting. • Easy Application: The aerosol spray is consistent and provides good coverage. It goes on smoothly and dries relatively quickly, allowing you to move on to the next phase of your project. This is a must-have for any automotive restoration or metal maintenance kit. It’s a reliable, professional-grade solution that delivers excellent results every time!

Does what it says it will, and holds up the the heat of my mower. I had a fair amount of rust on a zero turn mower that was many years old. I was able to clean that up a bit, and cover it with this. Now that mower looks like new to me, and it runs great. I had no problems with flaking. I have an extra can because I bought two expecting to not have enough in a single can, no regrets there this shows it is a great size. When applying it did go on thick if I did not keep moving, but it still dried to a solid, matte black surface with no visible rust. It was easy to use, easy to clean up if needed, and gave a great professional look to my project mower.

Works well. Cap can be better

The iron plant stand beside my balcony door had rust spots, and I wanted to fix it without buying a new one. I rent, so I try to keep small apartment costs down and avoid taking on bigger projects. I brushed off the loose flakes, then applied Seymour 16-45 to the rusty sections. The finish turned black, which looks tidier already, and I like that I can paint over it later if I want a different look. I checked it the next morning after a rainy night and was glad the stand looked neat instead of orange and flaky. It took some prep, but this was manageable for a small DIY job.

I bought this for my old car. I usually have to take care of the kids while also trying to prevent the car from rusting. One time, on my way home from picking them up from kindergarten, I noticed a small patch of rust on the edge of the back door. After following the steps to fix it at home, I found that I didn't need to use any major tools; I just applied the rust and let it dry. That put my mind at ease.
