rust

Anyone tried this kind of stuff...

http://www.rust.co.uk/rust-converters.cfm

is it any good

I use some of their stuff all the time - the Epoxymastic 121. It's absolutely brilliant, better than any primer or basecoat you'll find anywhere else, and can be left as a top coat. It will cover rusty or clean metal, and works well on fibreglass and underbody materials. There are about 5 colours, I use mainly black but also grey and aluminium. It's essentially the stuff they use on rigs in the North Sea, and it does not respond to any solvent I am aware of - it has to be removed mechanically if you want to do so.

I've tried their rust converter and didn't find that as good, but it works like Kurust and really needs topcoating.

Or if you are a lazy git like me you can get someone to do it for you:

They did a very good job on my A610 and the cost was around £350.

I use ; http://www.fertan.co.uk/ when I want something to be A1 and kurust when i just need it done quick. The Kurust can be painted over quite quickly but the fertan needs 24 hours or so. As said elsewhere, these are only 'chemical converters' not rust preventers.
