Excuse me if I'm showing my ignorance, but are you talking about calcium/lime/rust remover? I've used it on automotive glass, but never on paint. Are you trying to get rid of hard water spots? If so, I use a very diluted solution in water and rinse well.

Not saying it can't be done, but the directions printed on the bottle say do not use on painted metal.

He is wanting to use it to lift the surface rust. The original paint/primer often times lies below the surface rust.

yes, it's not an uncommon "trick" and the results can be pretty cool. It is, however, really only for a patina truck only, as alluded to above. If your truck is shiny, do not use this to "enhance" it.
