KBS Rust Converter turns a rusty surface flat black. The chemical reaction converts the rust as the coating dries, and what you are left with is a durable, paintable, inert surface with a flat black appearance measuring less than 15 on a 60 degree gloss meter. You can topcoat it or leave it exactly as it is.
Leaving It As the Final Finish
KBS Rust Converter does not have to be topcoated if a flat black finish is what you want. Left as is, it is a durable, paintable, inert surface. That makes it a practical one-step answer for frames, brackets, trailer parts, farm equipment, and anything else where the look matters less than stopping the rust.
Or Paint Over It
If you do want a different color, wait the full 24 hour cure and then paint. The converted surface is compatible with most topcoats and acts as the primer itself, so no separate primer is needed. Timing details are on the dry times page.
