Over time, the presence of rust damages objects both aesthetically and structurally, peeling them, to the point of completely degrading them. In these cases, to preserve the metal parts, it is necessary to carry out a anti-rust treatmentwhose function is not only to remove the rust itself, but also to prevent its formation.

For a complete and correctly carried out treatment, the surfaces must be cleaned well and the rust removed with a rust converterapply a specific primer, and finally, paint with two layers of ferromicaceous enamel.

It is good to remember that, before spreading it Solvent-based micaceous enamel or water on metal supports, it is always necessary to treat them with a rust converter, if the surface is already subject to the problem, and then apply an anti-rust primer.
