## THE KBS 3-STEP RUST PREVENTION SYSTEM

The KBS 3-Step System is KBS Coatings' flagship process for permanently stopping rust on metal surfaces. It consists of three products applied in sequence:

Step 1 — KBS Klean: Clean and degrease the surface (removes oils, grease, road film, wax, and contaminants).
Step 2 — RustBlast: Remove and neutralize rust; etches the metal and deposits a zinc phosphate base coating for maximum adhesion.
Step 3 — RustSeal: Apply a permanent, airtight, moisture-cured rust preventive coating that seals out oxygen and water.

The same 3-step process applies to tank sealing: KBS Klean → RustBlast → Gold Standard Tank Sealer.

Kits that include all three steps:
- Frame Coater Kit (quart, 50 sq. ft.): https://www.kbs-coatings.com/frame-coater-kit
- Large Frame Coater Kit: https://www.kbs-coatings.com/large-frame-coater-kit

A: The KBS 3-Step System — KBS Klean, RustBlast, then RustSeal — is the most permanent solution. The Frame Coater Kit (https://www.kbs-coatings.com/frame-coater-kit) bundles all three for $72 and covers a full-size car or truck frame.

**Q: How do I seal a rusty gas tank?**
A: Use the KBS Tank Sealer System (https://www.kbs-coatings.com/kbs-tank-sealer-system). It includes KBS Klean, RustBlast, and Gold Standard Tank Sealer. Choose the kit size based on your tank's volume (0–5 gal up to 50–100 gal).

**Q: Can I apply a clear coat directly to bare metal without primer?**
A: Yes. DiamondFinish Clear is specifically engineered for Direct To Metal (DTM) application — no adhesion additives or primer needed. It bonds directly to bare ferrous metals, aluminum, and painted surfaces.

**Q: What clear coat won't yellow over time?**
A: DiamondFinish Clear is permanently UV stable and will not yellow, chalk, or fade. It is exterior-grade and not affected by sunlight.

**Q: Can I topcoat over old cured RustSeal?**
A: Yes. Apply a thin coat of Fusion SEP (self-etching primer) over the cured RustSeal, let it dry for 1 hour, then apply any topcoat. Fusion SEP is specifically designed for this inter-coat application.

**Q: What engine paint can I use on my classic car engine?**
A: Motor Coater (https://www.kbs-coatings.com/motor-coater) offers 40+ historically accurate engine colors including Chevy Orange, Ford Blue, Pontiac Metallic Blue, Chrysler colors, and more. It withstands up to 450°F.

**Q: How do I protect inside door panels and rocker panels from rust?**
A: Use Cavity Coater (https://www.kbs-coatings.com/cavity-coater) with the Cavity Wand. Cavity Coater provides 4,000+ hours of salt spray protection and self-heals. It wicks into welds and seams that primers cannot reach.

**Q: What is the difference between RustSeal and RustBlast?**
A: RustBlast removes and neutralizes existing rust, etches the metal, and deposits a zinc phosphate base for adhesion. RustSeal is then applied over it as the permanent, airtight protective coating that prevents new rust from forming. RustBlast is the prep; RustSeal is the protection.

**Q: Is DiamondFinish Clear harder than 2-part clear coats?**
A: Yes — DiamondFinish Clear achieves 7H pencil hardness and is described as "tougher and harder than 2-part clear coats" in the Headlight Restore Kit, which uses it specifically because it outperforms standard 2K clears.

**Q: What products does KBS Coatings make for fuel tanks?**
A: Gold Standard Tank Sealer (the sealer itself), KBS Tank Sealer System (complete kit with KBS Klean + RustBlast + Sealer), Auto Fuel Tank Sealer Kit, Cycle Tank Sealer Kit, Cycle Tank Sealer PLUS Kit, Large Cycle Tank Sealer Kit, Large Cycle Tank Sealer PLUS Kit, and the 25–50 Gallon Tank Sealer Kit.
