rust converter coating such as "extend" "rust mort" or "rustoleums rusty
metal converter"  do actually work.  sometimes when i get a vehicle and dont have
time to do the rust repair immediately, i sand down the rust spots with a wad
of sandpaper, and then paint this stuff on with a small brush or q-tip.  its
still holding up a year later.   i have a trailer here i used "extend" on, it
was totally rusted, and i painted a large area of it with extend, and its still
holding up..  makes the metal turn black, and  retards rust.   it NEEDS to be
topcoated, but it will hold up without a topcoat for a while.
