Brunox Anti-rust Primer - any good?

[Grrrmachine]

We don't get brands like Dinitrol and Bilthammer where I am, and the only name I come across is Brunox:

I've used a can of this, and it seems alright (turns purple straight from the can) but does anyone else have any experience with it? How does it last, how does it compare with the other popular anti-rust treatments?

I'm using it as my post-welding spray to protect the fresh metal from atmospheric moisture, so I'm not expecting miracles...

I have recently used the same product. I was in need of protection to newly welded panels and this stuff seemed ideal.
No mixing or need for anything other than an old paint brush (I bought a ltr - £34.44 delivered (UK)), and easy to clean up with some thinners.


Covered with paint from a can: No paint reaction as yet.

Good to hear you were pleased with it. I bought a 150ml can of sprayable Brunox, and it makes a good sticky coating. They do recommend three coats with a 24-hour wait in between though.

And it's only 15 quid for a litre over here!

I haven't had it protecting the car long, so the lasting protection it offers is subjective for now. If the **** doesn't fall out the bottom of the car within the next ten years I'll consider that a result
I was sold on the fact that it is 'brushable', and it had the word 'PATENTED' in the sales blurb

£15: that's the price of a coffee and stale sandwich around here

Well, I've tried the sprayable and the brushable now. The Sprayable 150ml doesn't go very far, and although it comes out of the can easily, it doesn't make a very good coat; upon drying, the coverage wasn't absolute, so it looked mottled.

100ml of brushable went a lot further. It's more syrupy so it brushes on thick, but is still runny enough to trickle into the gaps and joints.

Both are extremely sticky and stain the skin rotten. They also convert any rust into a deep deep purple colour, but brushable is definitely the better of the two.
