Might not be your application, but I use POR-15. 3 step process of cleaning, etching and painting. You can thin it and spray it if you want. Clark |

Not so much a spray on but you could put it in a spray bottle.
I like a product called Rust Mort by SEM Wire brush as clean as you can, wipe down and apply. After it is dry you can etch prime or POR15 It kind of turns the rust to like a galvanized metal and I have never had a problem with primer adhering to it |

Clark My hell hole, after my ugly welding  And after the POR-15 process. It won't hurt it, but the sun will change the color. They recommend a light sanding and any top coat.  |

I used the POR15 on pans and trunks after the rust was neutralized and primed. It produces a very hard finish. Oh and I used it behind the bumpers on front and back of car.

After using POR 15 on several projects, I think I'd switch to Eastwood as well in the future. I used POR on a beetle in college on clean metal and had no problems. Tried it with my car this time around again, on clean metal (scuffed it and even did the rest of the prep instructions including marine clean and "prep and ready") and all I got were fisheyes everywhere. I think they must have changed the formula, but I was not impressed.
Eastwood's product is apparently much easier to use, so that's what I would go with next time around. |

I have used corroseal in many applications with good results. Easy to apply and easy cleanup.
 I have even used to to coat ballast tanks on some of my tugboats and it has held up under some very harsh conditions. |

phosphoric acid is the main ingredient that I found for most of the rust converting products.
I bought a gallon of that at Home depot for far less than all the magic juice sold by the pint. It works find, just clean it with water afterwards, dry it out and paint. rich |

I've used POR 15, and Eastwoods system, both work, but the best I've used is called miracle paint from a site called mercedessource . https://mercedessource.com/store/do-it-your...ng-kent-bergsma
This is definitely NOT POR 15 in disguise, if you get it on your hands and it dries, you are cutting it off or waiting for the skin to die and it falls off. POR 15 you can peel off scrape off acetone off. Not this stuff... |
