Picklex 20 can be used on bare metal, blasted metal or rusted metal surface

Pickle 20 can be used on both steel & aluminum.

Pickle 20 prepares the metal surface completely for Welding, Priming, Liquid painting & Powder coating, which can be performed after complete drying of the coating.

Do not use Self Etching Primer (any primer that contains acid or it will react with Picklex 20 coating). Use epoxy primer if possible.

De-rusting/Coating/Sealing in one step

This is a coating that seals over rust eliminating the moisture and oxygen from being able to reach the metal.   We've read the literature that accompanied the product and then did an evaluation ourselves and found this to be one of the best products on the market for stopping rust.

 Zero-Rust doesn't get hard and brittle like other rust coatings and in many applications it doesn't need further painting or priming like converters.  These materials have proven themselves in other industrial applications and now we, in auto restoration, reap the benefits of these products.

Most of our applications are using Zero-Rust
on top of Picklex 20 and we've found
them to work great together.
