as most of ya'll know i have that rust problem on my truck. today i sanded it down the best i could and put some of that rust converter stuff on it that comes in that little white bottle you buy at auto-zone. they say that's what does the trick on rust. it said on the bottle it turns rust into primer. can someone enlighten me?

well this turns the rust into a black acid-burnt appearance. i have use some rust killlers before and they are alright i guess.

Most of those coatings convert rust (iron oxide) into an inert black oxide. I've used it in areas where I will not epoxy. The material data sheet for my epoxy says not to apply over rust converter. This is the stuff I've used with good results: http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=15974&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C389%2C390&KickerID=347&KICKER

Similar to Naval Jelly. Loctite, Permatex makes it too
-
ok, sounded like a gimmic, but as long as it gets the rust off

You have to nuetralize it after your done. the acid does not just go away. a white residue will come through your paint if you dont, at least, that's what happened to me.

Eastwood's rust converter, converts rust to black oxide - it does not get the rust off, it converts it. NO Neutralizing required. Just mix, spread and let dry. That's why I picked it.
I am not getting paid to advertise for Eastwood, but I have used this and it works as described. I used it on my frame with the rust encapsulator and chasis black.
