My understanding, which is admittedly limited, leads me to disagree.  Jasco 
is stuff you put on rust to "convert" it to a black paintable surface.  The 
primer I mentioned is called DP and is usually followed by a number, such as 
DP90.  The number, I believe, indicates the tint.  DP is a ppg product and is 
a primer.  The difference between it and other primers is that most others 
are porous, and therefore not a rust-proof.  DP is epoxy based.  It's well 
suited to acid dipped or other very clean surfaces because in addition to 
protecting them indefinitely regardless of storage conditions (including 
underwater) it does not stand in the way of, and in fact improves, the 
adhesion of paint, filler, or even weld, all of which can be applied without 
removal of the DP.  I don't think it's an acid of any type.





It's phosporic acid priced a 2 or 3 times what you can buy it at Home Depot
or other hardware suppliers as Jasco Prep 'N Prime.
