I actually got that link from a banner right on this website. The "STOP Rust Permanently" logo caught my eye.
So the website claims that little or no surface prep is required and it stops rust in its tracks, etc etc. Anybody try this stuff? If it works it would come in handy for me.

Yeah I was thinking about coating my suspension pieces and underbody with that stuff if it actually works. A few opinions would be great. And do you guys know of any other similar products that work?
Re: Too good to be true or what? rust protection with Rust Bullet
Well, I ordered Rust Bullet from Summit racing. After Reading the FAQ section of the rust bullet website I'm confused... i want to use it for T-Top rust And floor board rust which means a top coat will be used at least on the roof. it's confusing on exactly how to use rust bullet with sandable primer and paint but I'll keep everyone posted on what I find out.
Re: Too good to be true or what? rust protection with Rust Bullet
i'm with JamesC on this...i'd go with POR-15. a lot of guys here use it, including myself, and highly recommend it. i've never heard of Rust Bullet, but POR-15 has a very good reputation that's well established. it may be a little pricey, but its totally worth it.
LG4 305ci 4bbl motor, 2.5" Cherry Bomb Extreme muffler- side exit exhaust, Cragar 15x7 Black D Window wheels (4" backspacing), Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires (P235/60R15), 36mm hollow front sway bar with wonder bar, 24mm rear sway bar, Energy Suspension endlinks and Guldstrand bushings, Edelbrock Elite 4222 air cleaner with K&N filter, FF Dynamics 16" Cyclone electric fan, Flex-a-lite Variable Speed Fan Controller, custom fixed headlight conversion with 5000K HIDs and Silverstar Ultra H7 bulbs, Pilot PL-362W driving lights with Hella 100W H3 bulbs, Deka Intimidator 9A78DT AGM battery

I don't know much about POR 15 but watching the videos on Rust bullet's website, the 500 hour salt water spray test in particular, Rust Bullet out performed POR 15. Of course they are going to say that, it's their product they're pushing.
The tutorials are what is confusing to me. Let rust bullet stand for 24-72 hours to cure. but if you're going to use a top coat, let it stand 6-10, but if you let it stand 6-10, it might not have all the moisture out of it and cause bubbling or reduced adhering between coats, so let it stand 23-72, then use metal blaster or wet-sand and apply a third coat of rust bullet and let stand for 6-10 hours....
Wait, I thought it needed to stand 24-72 depending on humidity?
Reminds me of the shampoo instructions. Lather, rinse, repeat. When do you ever get out of the shower?
Like I said, I have it on order, I’ll let everyone know how it goes. As for the inside floor pans I’m thinking sand-blast, rust bullet and black shell it and call it done. The T-Top and roof areas that are going to be repainted with the rest of the car are the big issue.

The rust bullet is hard as hell when it cures.I have used POR 15,SEM Rustshield and the rust bullet.I prefer SEM over the POR 15 for covering under car parts but for repairing and grinding out any rust spots the rust bullet is awsome stuff.You have to scuff it with with some sandpaper then u can topcoat it with primer and paint

Figured as much. especially since they claim you can fill over top of the rust bullet product. I do find the 6-10 / 24-72 hour loop theory entertaining though.
I love the fact that you can brake the loop with their metal blast product that you rinse off with water, then there it is, "Note: surface must be completely dry before top coat is applied." I had to quit watching the video after I heard that one.
Like I said, I am going to try it and the Black shell product. Both are on order from Summit Racing and should be here tomorrow.
