RB53 Standard Industrial Strength Rust Inhibitor

My newly installed metal handrails (in March, 2016) have already showing sign of rusting. So, I searched online to find some paints that can protect the handrails and can last a long time without redoing it every 2 or so years. Then I found Rust Bullet products and decided to give a try. I must say the price is not cheap as you could find in local store or big box chain stores (Home depot or Loews). I applied products to my hand-rails in the front porch about a month ago and then in my backyard hand-rails 3 days ago. I prepared the surface of hand rails according to the instruction by lightly sanding it and then wiping clean with tag cloth. I then coated rails with Rust Bullet Standard Industrial Strength Rust Inhibitor. 6 hours later I applied it with second coat of Rust Inhibitor. After another 8 hours, I top-coated with Rust Bullet BlackShell Rust Preventative. So far, it holds up pretty good. It was better than I expected. But, I won't really know until 1 year from know. The only thing I don't like it is that it dries up pretty fast even in 70 degrees temperature. So, I have to pull out a small portion each time and used a lot, a lot of paint brushes. As paint dries up on the brush, it become useless and need a new brush to continue the job.

Price per quart is a little much, but it works great. Goes on easy and fast. If surface is prepared correctly, RUST BULLET provides great protective film to help prevent any future rust.

Bit pricey. Hope it lasts per discussion with their tech person. Using in Marine environment on jetski lift arms that got a bit rusty over time. Just did it so will report back after a few months.

Good durability. Make sure you wear gloves when using. Aggressive adhesion.

Painted the rear half of my pickup truck frame with this. It worked as expected, and dried to a hard finish. Time will tell if it will actually hold up or not, but appears to be good for now.
