Anybody used Ace Rust Stop paint on their MV

[Hooty481]

Has anybody used Ace Hardware Rust Stop Paint on their MV... Its about $22 galon and I was just wondering if it was anygooooooood

 

[ODdave]

never used it on an mv but have never had luck with it on other stuff

 

[Hooty481]

we are painting metal trash cans with it yellow and green and looked good on the cans but was't sure the durability... Ive used the rust stop in the rattle cans and had no luck that junk just washes off but didnt know about the brush on...

I'd like to see how this stuff works. For some reason, my trailer came with that 'feature'.

BTW, where do you get it?

 

[Hooty481]

Ace Hardware has it....

For rust, use POR 15, it is great stuff, its only drawback is that it will not stand UV, so you have to paint it.

I have used the 1 Qt can stuff on my plow ( yellow) I applied it with a 3" chip brush over rustoleum rusty metal primer, on new and used metal parts that were wired brushed with a cup brush on an angle grinder.

It has held up well for two plow seasons now...

You painted that??? It looks new

 

[Hooty481]

nice looking plow might have to paint my plow before i paint my truck bc that looks great... looks exactly like mine too

I use it at work. It sprays nice in the rattle cans but it's pretty much re branded Rustoleum. Not the most durable either.

Hey N1265 does the plow blade just ride on the ground?? Down here they have wheels on them so they don't wear the wear bars down. And they wounder why they can't get the ice and snow off the roads Or am I wrong?

If you look on the lower left/right sides there's insert holes for plow shoes that help the blade ride above the ground. Not so much an issue for wearing down the blade, but when the ground isn't frozen it helps prevent rolling up gravel or the edge of a lawn.

Removing the shoes won't always get the ice, that's why they make salt spreaders that sit in the back of truck bed. Towns up here use a lot of salt, calcium chloride, etc to melt the ice.

Well down here they use wheels to keep the blade off the ground. So they leve an inch or two of snow behind to get packed down. I grew up in WI as soon as the flakes started to fall the plows were out and every truck the city had , had plows. Here they wait till its done. Then its packed down so hard they can't do any thing about it. Roads are still covered from the snow we got on Tuesday. Schools have been out for 9 days.

like said so many times, rustoleum rusty metal primer is by far the best out there, trick, let dry 3 days i think.

If you have access to some chemical supplier, they all have a rust re-converter sometimes called TREX that works wonders on rusty metal. It basically makes rusty metal into primer for painting.

 

[N1265]

Yes, my plow rides on the ground. 85% of the guys who plow up here do not use shoes and I have never seen anybody plow with wheels. like previously stated, shoes are nice when doing gravel allies, gravel drive ways or when you are conserned about tearing up the surface ( black top in bad shape ) I have seen state trucks and townships run shoes on there trucks set at about 1/2" high, but these guys are plowing at 40 MPH. and at that speed it is easy to tear something up, including the truck !

I've said it many times and I'll say it again. Not any old Joker can plow snow. Although it is not hard, It does take some knowledge...

Thanks for the complements on the paint job. Rustoleum does make a good product, I use it a lot and recommend it. However I do have to say the best primer I have ever used for this kind of work is Kem-kromic from S&W. But the price of it is so high I hardly ever use it anymore.

i use it to paint our fire hydrants at work and seems to work well enough for that, never used it on anything that takes any kind of abuse though

I like Rustoleum too. The small things I've painted I have top coated in about 24 hours usually. When I repaint my deuce, I will let the metal primer sit for 3 days. When it comes to small things, I usually don't follow the directions too well. Dry is dry and I can repaint it later. I will do it right for the truck. I hate rust.

I know this is really old but I know Titanium Soldier on this forum just painted his bobbed duece with it and it looks amazing

Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer is also just a shade off of matching Gillespie Brown for the standard 3 color woodland camo.
