KBS Coatings 4502 Satin Black RustSeal - 1 Gallon

Great

Frankly I was on the fence with the $45 dollar price tag for a quart of paint. However, reviews were praising this product so I bough it. The sealer is pretty thick and sticky but applying was easy with a single use cheap brush. If you have porous rusted surfaces it takes a lot of effort working the thick stuff into the pores. After the first coat dried the surface was uniform so I did not think a second coat is necessary.Despite the single coat on a small interior area I was a it surprised how much I used up from the can. Does it cover 50 SF as indicated? I doubt it. Also the user instructions upsell their other surface preparation products. If I buy those too probably spend a lot more.So the most frustrating part was opening the can. The lid is made of a very soft, light gauge metal and so deep and tight that I was not able to pry it open. I went around and the rim unrolled before the lid released. As you see on the pictures finally there was a 2" part only holding the lid back but it would still not come out. I ended up using a monkey wrench than the lid started bending. And now I cannot put it back.Overall I think it is probably a good product but way over priced. It is probably best to apply for critical areas like sub frame etc. Only time will tell how good it is and whether it is worth the price of a gallon of premium Benjamin More paint. I would not buy it again just because of the lid issue. I mean this is pretty basic and there are other products out there.

I would use this product over any other as it's very easy to use and does what it says.. Make sure you shake the can and stir for awhile as there is a lot of fillers that sit on the bottom. Make sure your surface is clean and moisture free before applying. At least use a wire brush then clean with alcohol.

I've used POR15, Eastwood's encapulator and I think the KBS is just as good or even better. I applied with a brush and went down well. When dry, it seems to bond well and dourable. Will purchase again

Love the stuff, I have used it to coat my firewall and frame on my 1967 Camaro. The stuff is amazing tough once its cured but not the most beautiful finish. The prep when applying this is very important, if you read the instructions it sounds like you just clean the surface of lose material, degrease, and apply but I had a lot of issues with it not adhering well if I just did this. On the firewall I sanded most of it down to bare metal, degreased, and then used their metal prep and it worked great, for the frame I had to sand blast it first then degreased & metal prep.The other thing with this that I found is if I used a brush the pieces got pulled out of the brush and stuck in the paint and it left very obvious streaks in the paint. I switched to foam brushes and they worked better and did not streak near as much but they can leave piece of foam in the paint that is hard to remove and they do not last. I ended up coating both surfaces (firewall and frame) with 3 to 4 coats of semi-gloss black Rustoleum spray paint to cover the streaks, this left a very nice finished product.Also don't get it on yourself or anything else and if you do immediately clean it off, it takes weeks to wear off of your body. Also once you open the can it can be very hard to re-open it, it tends to seal itself and re-opening can leaves it ruined. I poured it into a glass jar to save.

Remember to seal up really well after using. This paint dries quickly.

Works good and gives a hard durable surface. Used this on a car trailer frame. I like that it can be brush applied. Bought disposal brushes and mixing cups off Amazon to work out of when painting, then just pitched them when done. Pour out only what you can use in about 10-15 minutes (depends on humidity and temp). Be sure to seal the can as recommended with plastic to prevent the lid sticking. Gave it 4 stars because the galvanized color shows the brush strokes from being applied. I tried thin and thicker single coats. Thin coats showed the brush strokes much more noticeably. Was better with thicker coats but then there was the occasional run. Also tried 2 coats but results were about the same. Looks good from 10 feet away but not as good up close. Did not have this issue with the black color I used previously. It flowed out nice with no noticeable brush strokes or runs.

Easy to use do not try to clean the brush after use great product

As advertised. Best to apply with a brush that can be thrown away afterwards. Not good in a spray gun (will ruin it for good). Wear OLD clothes and DO NOT get on your skin as it will not clean off. Very tough finish if used properly. I used a rust converter as a primer and then coated over that. Be sure to clean off loose rust before any application of any product. The coating is a tough as any epoxy and maybe even better. Be sure to put cling wrap over can to close it up so the metal top does not contact the metal can. If you don't use the cling wrap, the can will never open again.

Well. Have some surface rust on my truck outer doors. Wire wheeled and cover with this product. This stuff sticks. Was able to use a roller, it is not so thick you cant. Use plastic over can or you will never get in there again. Expect to throw away brush and roller away. Do not get this on anything you don't want to. Wear gloves. Has a fairly gloss finish. Just used it. Only time will tell if it stops the rust. I will purchase this again.

I painted the frame of my truck without using gloves... It took me nearly 2 weeks to get it all off scrubbing with acetone and a green scrubbie... Comet cleaner seemed to help but still very strong stuff. I have no doubt that this will help protect the frame.

Nothing will clean the brush if dried not even turpentine . This paint is in some league of its own . Also once you open the can better follow the direction or you will have to drill through it . I don’t think you can get a tougher paint . I used it for my lintels which where rusting now it looks great .

heard this product is awsome....and it really seems to be....time will tell..wear gloves.....again...wear gloves.This product only comes off skin with alot of rubbing with sandpaper....ya...outch...
