anyone painted over rust bullet?
One of the options I'm looking at is painting over Rust Bullet as a primer. Any one have experience with it? They say it is a good adhesion promoter.

Just scuff it up and paint away...RB is the best primer you can use over sand blasted metal. I think I've got a good combo for new metal or rusted metal. Its Picklex first then rust bullet. I think its much better than just rust bullet...

I'll be doing both. I should get to doing the inside of the cab next weekend. The outside of the cab may be a month or so yet and the frame probably not until spring. Rust bullet claims that their product wouild be considered a mid level primer with excellent adhesion. If you don't top coat right away you have to scuff it up.

As per rust bullets directions I would be carefull which top coat you use before the rb has cured. It dries by absorbing moisture you don't wanna mess with that. As said above it may work with certain paints although I woudn't do it, it sands real easy. I'm on my 6th gallon of the stuff..

99f350sd what do you use to scuff up the rust bullet?? by hand or machine? just curious. seems like a lot of work. My case was I had a frame from a 78 crewcab that showed rust pitting after I had it sandblasted (which is good all the rust is gone). Then when I went to spray on RB, it still left a porous, rough surface (the rust pitts). It would have been next to impossible to get down into all the pores to get the RB scuffed so my top coat would stick. That is why I sprayed on the Chassis Black when RB was a little tacky yet (couldn't pick up any on your fingers when you touched it). Think it worked just fine.

I think 150 grit paper you don't have to get into all the cracks thats impossible. make sure you use 2 coats or more of rust bullet..The chasis black may have had something in it to cause the rb to cure. Some paints won't work in that situation.
