I put this product on rusty spots and it touched other surrounding surface with old paint. Half an hour now, it's still white-greenish color?

This product failed to perform as advertised . I had to redo the project and used permatex spray which did remove/convert the rust as advertised the Rust-Oleum product sucked.

the paint is still white a year later on my truck, but I have not tried to remove it. I just covered the area to stop the rust until I sand it down and paint it.

The product dries to its own color. (I don't remember how long it took to dry.) I knew ahead of time that I'd need to paint over the Rust Reformer. I had a large paint flake that I took to the paint store to get new paint that was color matched. That way, I was able to cover the bare spots, as well as the places the brush had smeared. Because I was able to get matching paint, the whole repair looks seamless. You could try getting those color swatches from different brands of paint, if you can't get a paint sample from your item. You might get lucky and find something that's a close match. The product dries to its own color. (I don't remember how long it took to dry.)

this is very unusual! normally this stuff turns black in a very short time over all surfaces,painted or rusty. i've been using this stuff for years and i highly recommend putting down some rustoleum metal primer over all treated surfaces,no matter what the label says about not needing any primer. did you shake the container enough,i wonder?

Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what to use. You can try nail polish remover, it might get the paint off without damaging the silver. If the silver is close to the white paint, I recommend using a Q-tip.

This goes on greenish blue and eventually fades to after exposure. Not sure how long it takes, but I know it's not just a few days.

You just didn't notice them when you first got it. I have the dinning set, the bistro set and two lounge chairs. They all have small rust areas. The coating on it is like a "primer". I bought a can of Rustoleum that matches exactly and sprayed the spots. I'm sure more will appear and I'll spray those too.

Hi, Allen. Well, as a first time buyer, mine was clear. I know that the uber-expensive Cellx C I bought, turned the color of rust very quickly. This means it's old. I have read that anything containing vitamin C should be refrigerated.

I waited a couple of hours before I re-mounted my wheels. The paint was dry to the touch by then, so I figure it ought to have been dry enough to accept paint. By the way, we had a harsh winter here in SE Pa. and the caliper paint held up great. Still as bright as they were the day I painted them.

Nothing to do, just let it dry for an overnight or 1 day to be sure. on the prep make sure it is dry and maybe you can use the sand paper (included in package) so paint will stick properly, then, clean it dry. It works on me, it looks like new afterwards.

Here is their contact info. I would ask them directly. (I have rust spots bleeding through my paint from last year, but chalked that up to not getting it all off, and having spray shooting up underneath from puddles.) http://bondo.com/contact-us

I didnt paint mine. They came all white and i left them that way. Sorry i cant help.

No. You would be wise to confirm with a body shop. I would think the metal embedded in the rust stains would simply be ground further into the paint.

I think mine was doing that as well. We threw it out. I scrubbed it and it was still discolored.

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

I agree with amber, the paint is similar to a primer. I would just paint it. The distressing is actually like lead pencil. You might want to try to wipe it off. Maybe one of those Mr Clean sponges would do the trick.

No, not unless the rust is removed, primed and then sprayed. I used it after sanding, a bonding, priming, matching the paint and then the clear coat. It might help over a fresh scrape. once there is rust, it has to be repaired. Hope that helps.

I believe that I remember if you had rust, you needed to treat that first. I would contact the manufacturer for more info, I did not have that problem, but I can tell you it is a GREAT product for painting over bathroom tiles!

Didn't apply too much; problem is that you didn't remove it all. The finish should be smooth as silk and super bright. This is a CLEANER and a polish. It takes a lot of work to remove it all. Use a very soft cloth, but you will need to rub hard, and concentrate on one small area at a time. Also, don't let it get wet for 24 hours; it has to "cure". All worth it, though.

I've had mine for 1.5yrsThis year I left it outside during the winter, its showing signs of surface rust. An easy fix. I plan to sand it down and spray it with Heat Resistant paint. I am happy with it.
