I've just been stripping paint off my bonnet, there was some real light rust underneath which I've wirewheeled, I'm going to pa10, but should I use rust converter first?

It will just back and wreck your paint. Have a look at this thread and do this if you only want to do it once. You cant get the navel gel they use in NZ so can use jenolite. http://www.metalmeet.com/forum/showthre ... +willys%22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Naval Jelly is just phosphoric acid. I kinda figured most rust converters had some sort of acid in them but I'm going to Bunnings today so will check it out and make sure they do.

andy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 navel jelly uses phosphoric acid but it is in a jelly like solution whereas jenolite etc are a light liquid. I tried to find a way of adding something to make the jenolite hold better as this would be ideal for vertical surfaces. I guy at the paint shop advised recently that all phosphoric acid products were being taken off the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegoose Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 i dont like how you have to wash that jelly stuff of with 'warm soapy water' soap=salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I dont either. I use meths. It neutralises the acid and then flashes off. Then a quick rub with keyphos and your bare metal is good for 8 - 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
