What is the difference between Rust Shield, Rust Mort and Rust Seal?
- The main difference between Rust Mort and Rust Seal is that Rust
Mort must be top coated and Rust Seal may be left exposed. Both will
neutralize and convert the rust to a permanent protective coating. Rust
Shield is a rust and corrosion control coating available in 14 different
colors that can be intermixed. Rust Shield may be brushed, rolled, or
sprayed. 38008 Hardener and Gloss Enhancer may be added to
Rust Shield to increase the durability and add gloss.
I painted the frame of my vehicle with Rust Shield and now I want to top coat it. How long do I need to wait?
- While we don’t recommend this practice, as long as Rust Shield has fully
cured (3-7 days), it can be sanded and top coated. If the hardener has
been added to the Rust Shield, it cures quicker and may be sanded and
top coated when it is dry to the touch. Again, we discourage sanding and
top coating Rust Shield as it is a finish coat and not a primer. If you have
already applied the Rust Shield and intend on painting over, it must be
fully cured and it isn’t recommended.
