[Healeys] Eastwood rust dissolver

[BJ8Healeys]

Hi, Patrick -
The best primer I have ever found to prevent rust was called "Corroless".  I
understand that it was developed in the UK for treatment and protection of
offshore oil rigs.  You could paint it on over rust after wirebrushing the
loose stuff off.  I have used it on previously-rusted metal parts exposed
continuously to the weather without any topcoat, and only after many years
did any sign of additional rusting appear -- and that only slightly.  No
place on any of my cars where I used Corroless has rusted again.

For a while, Eastwood Company sold Corroless, but it has been replaced with
another product called "Rust Encapsulator".  It may be the same paint (or
not), for the red oxide primer version looks the same to me and seems to
work about as well.

after you treat panel ect. with this what primer can you put on parts that
will protect them.  I live by the coast and had my chassis primed up I
thought and many of my suspension parts nicely painted and was horrified to
discover rust creeping onto them from below the paint.  The car was
originally in a body shop inland where salt air was not a problem.  Its
discouraging to say the least.
