Title: Rustbullet
Post by: DavesFCwagon on October 12, 2007, 10:50:15 PM
I have just had my car blasted and was looking for an undercoat when I came across this product http://www.rustbullet.com/ . I would be interested to know if anybody has used this product and if so what were the results.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
                 Although I have not used any rust preventative paint as yet I have been investigating this product. www.ppc.au.com   (por15)   Very expensive stuff though and the metal preparation must be spot on.

It is very difficult to decide which one to use as the manufacturer is trying to sell their product to you and of course will say it the best thing since sliced bread. ( They sent me a restorers catalogue for free, fill in the details on the site and it came in the post)

Have been doing web searches for por15 and it shows a lot of restorers and old cars, vintage stuff and things like old landrovers being done so I suppose that is good enough for me.

On the ppc site there are real world tests of painted products. Look in the PDF files, it looks like good stuff but it will take you to make up your own mind from both reading about the product and seeing what other people in the same boat are using.

What are people here inclined to use?

Cheers   Michael

Just had a good look around the rustbullet website, they only have the one colour and it is silver (it can be topcotaed though) and the closest distributor is in New Zealand.

Yes it probably is a fantastic product but no good if you have to import it from New Zealand. :o

The por15 is basically available everywhere, luckily there is one in my suburb :)

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for the input, I have contacted the guy in New Zealand regarding cost and delivery and will let you know what I find out. I'm guessing this stuffs not cheap but if you believe the website it's a very easy application saving a lot of time and effort.
Cheers
Dave
