Which size do I need?

Why it works

• Restores rusted surfaces with total ease — chemically converts rust into an inert, black protective barrier that stops further corrosion.
• Works as both a primer and a rust converter — once applied, the surface is ready to repaint with an oil-based paint in just 24 hours.
• No sandblasting, scraping, or grinding needed — apply directly over existing rust and skip the hardest part of surface prep.
• Easy to apply — use a paint brush, spray gun, or dip method for hard-to-reach areas.
• Eco-friendly — water-based, non-flammable, non-toxic, with easy water clean-up.

How it works

Rust forms when iron reacts with oxygen and moisture. Left alone, that rust layer flakes away and exposes fresh metal to the same process, over and over. tuf-kote® Rust Convertor reacts with the rust itself, converting it into a stable black compound that seals the surface and stops the cycle — instead of removing the rust, it locks it in place as a protective coating.
