Rust-Oleum 248658-6PK Rust Reformer Spray, 10.25 oz, Black, 6 Pack

I’ve dealt with rust on my truck’s undercarriage and outdoor tools for years, and this Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Reformer spray has been a total game-changer. Instead of the usual sanding and scraping, I just cleaned the rusty spots and sprayed this on. The rust actually transforms into a solid, paintable surface — no more flaky mess!The flat black finish looks clean and professional, and it’s held up great through rain, mud, and even winter salt. I love that it dries fairly quickly and doesn’t run or drip if you’re careful with your spray technique.What impressed me most is how durable it feels. Months later, there’s no peeling or new rust creeping in. For anyone tired of fighting rust the hard way, this spray is a simple, effective solution that really delivers.

This product did an amazing job at returning all my rusted item, to a better looking. I also had a very rusted looking front truck bumper, and this rust-paint made it look like new again. Of course, the first layer was thin, so multiple pass were needed, but at the end the result was great.Be careful to sand off and remove all rust "flakes" first though, because otherwise, if you paint over them and they then peal away, your paint will be gone with them, while leaving some nasty rust spots underneath.

I have sprayed this on many things that stay outside. The surface turns flat black and resists rusting. This is my go to for rust control and elimination.

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.

I have used this product in the past and it lasted several years. I needed to touch up my ramps I use for putting things in the bed of my truck. It holds up really good and dries fast. The best part is it’s cheaper than buying it locally!

Amazing stuff. I have been using this for years after a quick wire brushing for stopping metal from rusting, even when splashed by salt water. I have sprayed my boat trailer parts and areas of the undercarriage of my truck. Use often after spraying down with a garden hose (let dry), if you boat in salt water. Also holds well on cleaned aluminum as a matte spray-paint.

This product really works if you follow directions and 24 hours use a good brand spray paint over it to seal out moisture.I Use it on rust on truck frame to slow and stop rust. works as described. remove all loose rust then spray Rust reformed wait 24 hours top coat with black spray paint. Usually keeps rust from spreading. I touch up areas that do rust through after a year or so but it really does minimize its growth. 5 cans usually will cover average frame. Use a good mask save you lungs. **********UPDATE March 2017***************I have used this product on other rusted chassis past few years........ If you follow instruction spray rust wait 24 hrs then over paint. After a year my truck which I sprayed last March.and using it all winter. No rust has come through my truck, a few little chips but thats it. It remains solid black and rust free. This spring I will power wash chassis touch up any small areas and repaint the chassis again to insure it remains that way. If air cant get to treated rust it cant start again. I also did my daughters car 2 years ago which had a lot of surface rust when she bought it used. I did same thing and now after 2 winters and me not retreating it, I was surprised to see after 2 winters only some rust has come through but nothing compared to what shape it was in. I use this product every spring to keep my older cars that drive in an area that salts the roads in the winter frequently and for the hour or so it takes me to recoat and repaint and the 35.00 it costs me between this product and GOOD BRAND black spray paint to top coat. To keep rust at bay. Its well worth it+++++++++Sept 2018=== still holds out keeping rust away. I just ordered another 6 cans to do a 05 Mercury Mariner. I just bough I have the start of very Minimal surface rust so I brushed and with air pressure to blow clean. Took off each wheel all exposed metal then down under rocker panels rear wheels. Tomorrow I will top coat with paint. Its a lot of work but once it covered I know it works. I do power wash road salt on my trucks and cars coming in after a snow and they are garage kept. I do get very minimal specs of rust that will appear after a long winter. I just hit them quick then respray with paint. But nothing compared to the whole chassis .If you car fully over taken with deep rust this may slow it but the cancer has set in deep when its that bad.

Product works as it's supposed to very happy
