KBS Coatings RustSeal, Quart, Green

KBS RustSeal in Green is a rust stopping sealer in a deep equipment green that lets you refresh a green tractor or implement without sending it out to a body shop. RustSeal is a single component, ready to use, high solids moisture cured urethane that soaks into prepared metal and locks out the moisture that feeds rust. It goes over tightly rusted, sandblasted, or scuffed steel, so you do not have to get down to bright bare metal before you can stop the rust. Once cured it flows out to a rock hard ceramic like film that is tough to chip or scratch, yet flexible enough to expand and contract with the metal instead of cracking or peeling. It shrugs off road salt, fertilizer, and most every chemical, which is why it holds up on tractor frames, implements, trailers, truck chassis, mower decks, gates, and livestock equipment. Brush it, roll it, or spray it. One quart covers about 100 sq ft at 2 mils dry film thickness. Important note on sunlight: RustSeal is not UV stable. Its rust protection does not weaken in the sun, but the color and sheen will chalk and fade over time in direct sunlight. On parts that stay out of the sun, such as frames, floor pans, undercarriages, and equipment interiors, RustSeal can be left as the final finish. On surfaces that see sun, topcoat it with a solid color such as KBS BlackTop or KBS Top Coater. A clear coat will not solve this, since UV passes right through it. Made in the USA in Valparaiso, Indiana.Surface prep is what makes RustSeal work. Knock off loose rust and flaking paint with 320 grit sandpaper, a wire brush, or a wire wheel. Clean with KBS Klean and rinse, and avoid solvent based cleaners that leave a residue. For rusted metal, treat with KBS RustBlast to etch the surface and convert remaining rust, then rinse and dry completely. A freshly sandblasted surface needs only the dust blown off. If the paint is sound, scuff with 320 grit and clean. Apply between 55 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit in moderate to dry conditions. It is moisture cured, so high humidity speeds the cure and low humidity slows it. Never apply in rain or on a damp surface. Do not shake the can. Stir thoroughly, pour a working amount into a separate container, and reseal the can. Apply at least 2 thin coats at about 2 mils each, or 3 for marine and industrial work. Recoat once the last coat leaves no fingerprint, typically 2 to 6 hours. Past 8 hours, wait 24 hours and scuff with 320 grit. Thin only with KBS number 1 Thinner or xylene. Cure 24 hours before topcoating.
