Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer 248658-6 PK Automotive 10-Ounce Spray, Black

I absolutely love using Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer Spray — especially this 6-pack, which is perfect for regular use. I’ve used it on everything from automotive frames to outdoor metal fixtures, and it consistently performs. It’s my go-to for converting rust into a paintable surface without the need for grinding or sanding down to bare metal. The spray goes on evenly and dries to a solid black protective layer, creating an ideal base for topcoats like enamel, primer, or bedliner. It bonds well and helps prevent rust from bleeding through, even on surfaces that were heavily oxidized. The product has no strong odor, and the spray nozzle delivers a consistent, controlled application. Whether you're a DIYer or doing more industrial projects, this is a high-performing and affordable solution that saves time and effort. Q&A: Q: Does this actually convert rust or just cover it? A: It chemically converts rust into a stable surface, allowing you to paint directly over it. Q: Can it be used under Raptor bedliner or topcoats? A: Yes — it’s ideal as a base layer under topcoats, including Raptor, enamel, or epoxy finishes. Q: Does the black color bleed through light-colored topcoats? A: Not usually, but using a light primer over it before painting will ensure full color coverage. Q: How long does it take to dry? A: Typically 15-30 minutes to touch and 24 hours for full cure before applying topcoat. Q: How many square feet does one can cover? A: Each 10.25 oz can covers about 8–10 sq. ft, depending on surface texture and rust depth.

Its paint! Black paint matters, I guess. Once you go black you never go back. Don't huff it, its expensive....

Received a small tow behind trailer and wanted to bring it back from Rustville. Prepped the surface with wire brushes and went to town spraying it top to bottom. After six months of only using this product, there is no sign of rust coming back.

That chemical not only covered off and cured the rust for good, but also lay nice on the prepared surface. 👍👍👍 I did paint my hood. It has a nice looking and smooth surface. It took 4 cans 🤷🏻‍♀️ for the minivan's hood to paint it. I don't know how long the paint job will last, but it's been more than two month already and still looking great. Maybe I will do a clear coat later, but I'm not sure of an identical base with a clear coat. You may say "The guy is crazy to do such a paint job, but it is cold outside 🤷🏻‍♀️ and normal paint is very smelly. So, I did use that method and my neighbors never complained 😂😂😂👍👍👍 Also, I tried to use it on a HEAVY rusted surface without cleaning it at all. Sure the surface IS ruff, but still stayed the same way for more than two month and did not peel off yet. Still observing it. Cone: price is high. I do not mention the seller, but just everywhere. Will bye it again anyway 😂😂😂 to finish off to paint the whole car. I have the original $350/gal, but will save it for another car and other environment.

Love this paint. Does a great job of covering the frame of my FJ Cruiser.
