Derusting...

[Thadious]

Anyone have any recommendations on the best way to remove/neutralize rust on the inside of a door so it can be coated?

Thanks
Ted.

Some people use POR15 so that they don't have to completely remove the rust.

Apparently, all you have to do is brush off the flaky rust with a wire brush and then apply POR15 overtop of it.

Take a gander at this page to read the instructions.

Is this the kind of info you're looking for?

I always liked this stuff, but don't have any experience with it yet:

With por15 you first apply a rust converter then metal prep then the por15. So far it has stuck to the parts I finished two years ago, but the truck has been in the garage, never seen weather. If you don't use the rust converter it will still be there. I suspect that over time it will come back or continue because "Rust Never Sleeps". All I want to buy is 20 years or so then my grand or great grand kid can deal with it! I figure it can't get any worse than the previous 50 years.

On a vast majority of the small stuff, I've been using the Electrocatalytic rust removal process with excellent results...

I'm just wondering if there was an easy way to deal with the stuff inside the doors before I coated them...

I understand that POR15 will adhere quite well to solid, non flakey rust, as I've been using it's counterpart here (Zerorust) for quite some time with great results.

Thanks again,
Ted.

That's not quite right. The POR-15 system consists of Marine-Clean (a degreaser), Metal-Ready (a metal etch similar to zinc phosphate) and their POR coating.

POR was a top of the line product some 20 years ago, but there are now others that are just as good, cost less for the system, and are easier to apply. Eastwood, Rust Bullet and ZeroRust are some. They also come in rattle cans, which POR can't use due to the chemicals in their product.

I guess you could use the miss belvedere stuff and get it off then coat it with rust bullet....sounds like a plan to me.

That may be the way I'll go... little bit of spray setup with shower curtain and a kid's plastic pool...

Hopefully I can get it into Canada....
