killrust is ok on non automotive applications. I would use> Rust bullet, KBS ,POR15 or if you could get it in Australia> Master series. Rated as the best. Out of whats available here, Rust bullet is said to be the best.

Killrust is solvent based, the others I mentioned are moisture cured, master series is 2 pak

I have used POR15 and will continue to use it till I run out of it and its is tough as all buggery. The adhesion and toughness of POR15 vs killrust is like steel vs dirt.

probably.

there is a fair bit of particular prep involved with por15, once right its works really good.

kill rust works well if you use the same sort of prep plus kill rust primer.

I find their primer does all the work, works really good but the epoxy is not that durable mechanically. i.e can scratch easy compared to por15.

Also I found killrust not at all chemical resistant nor constant wet resistant. But the primer is resistant to most things. I use the kill rust primer with other paints though with good results.

winning combo. kill rust primer and VHT caliper silver paint, plus caliper clear. 👍 but only works with their silver for some reason?
