   Long ago I remember a priming paint sold for use on rusted steel   
   surfaces without cleaning beyond removing loose rust.   
      
   Physically it resembled white glue, but when coated on rusty   
   surfaces the rust turned black and became paintable. It was   
   nowhere near as good as abrading to clean metal, but helped some.   
   I believe the product was a latex paint with phosphoric acid, but   
   don't have any firm evidence, nor evidence the idea makes sense.   
      
   I can't remember the name and now find nothing that matches the   
   description on line, so far as I've looked.   
      
   There's a stretch of gutter on my roof that has pinholed rust.   
   It would be nice if I could try such a primer on the interior   
   surface of the gutter to extend its life by a couple of years.   
      
   If this tale jogs any memories please write.   
      
   Thanks for reading,

   P O R Rust Converter. When it came out I called to ask if it was suitable   
   for car body rust and they said no, possibly because UV degrades it.   
      
   I'm taking a break from grinding out body rust spots on the 91 Ranger with a   
   2" abrasive fiber pad on an HF air angle grinder, among my favorite power   
   tools. It might not be as satisfactory with a smaller compressor, mine is 3+   
   HP, 80 gallons, a mixed breed salvage project. A swivel coupler on the   
   tool's air input improves its maneuverability. Rustoleum primer + paint has   
   held up well for me on outdoor projects, but I prefer SEM products on   
   vehicles.   
      
   My gutters are plastic with shop-made hangers of 1/8" aluminum flat stock   
   that doesn't go over the top, thus I can clean them from the ground with a   
   gutter cleaning scoop on a pool cleaning extension pole.
