Use a mild detergent such as dish soap and water or Simple Green. Power washing is not recommended as to avoid introducing too much water to the concrete prior to application. Do not use any other type of chemical without asking Rust Bullet Technical Support. Not […]
Typically, porous floors are a good thing, up to a point, when applying any concrete coating. It enables the coating to achieve a good mechanical bond to the substrate.  One thing to consider, however, is that it will reduce the coverage rate and DFT (dry film […]
Theoretical coverage is approximately 300-350 sq/ft per gallon, per coat depending on the method of application and the porosity of the surface. Generally, on a concrete surface, the first coat will take the most coating as it seeps into the pores of the concrete. The second […]
Rust Bullet coatings provide robust protection against hot tire pickup thanks to their superior durability, chemical resistance, and heat resistance. To achieve the best results, carefully follow the application guidelines, ensure proper surface preparation, and allow sufficient curing time. Regular maintenance will further extend the performance […]
Concrete sealers will prevent Rust Bullet Concrete coatings from achieving good adhesion to the surface. In most cases, the surface will need to be ground to remove this sealer and create a profile for adhesion. This can be done mechanically or by hand and a basic […]
Rust Bullet Concrete coatings are moisture sensitive. Even the smallest amount of moisture on the surface can cause a coating failure. A moisture meter, calcium chloride test, or a plastic sheet test can be conducted to check for moisture. To perform the plastic sheet test for […]

All Rust Bullet coatings come in a gloss or satin finish, and we have not found any flattening agent that is compatible with our coatings that do not effect its performance. At this time, we do not have a matte/flat finish option, nor do we have […]
Try to use a paint key, not a screwdriver. If the lid is still stuck, hammer the plug back into place and try prying it again. If that still doesn’t work, strike the plug dead center and it will release, every time.Here is a video illustration […]
Care should be taken to ensure that previously opened containers or left-over partial containers are kept sealed during storage. Rust Bullet coatings are moisture sensitive; limit the time the container is opened. During application, pour out the portion that will be used in approximately one hour […]
There are several issues to consider when painting over fiberglass, especially if there has been an existing failing paint. One issue is the application of a new coating system over an older, failing coating and another is the application on a very delicate and porous surface.Remove […]
Wait approximately one hour before applying a topcoat over the final coat of Rust Bullet Industrial or Rust Bullet Automotive that has been accelerated with Rapid Fire. The previous coat should be tack free.IMPORTANT: A Rust Bullet coating that has not been accelerated by adding Rapid […]

Fossil fuels, such as refined oils (gasoline, diesel, jet fuels and kerosene) will not affect the integrity of a cured Rust Bullet coating. Additionally, renewable fuels such as Biodiesel and Ethanol will have no adverse effect on substrates coated with Rust Bullet.
Rust should not be coming to the surface unless Rust Bullet was improperly applied. Wipe down the coated surface with Rust Bullet Solvent and inspect the surface to rule out the possibility that the rust stains are caused by rusty water or fluid that has dripped […]
