A couple coats of that (each a couple days apart) should be a good
way to do it. wirebrush away any easy removed rust and then paint the
stuff on. It will turn purple and dry almost black. I put some on a
couple rust spots on a 1972 99 a couple years ago and didn't paint over
it (just left the rust converter on) and rust hasn't come back. It's
been mostly outdoors too. I won't knock it. Finishing with paint would be good. 2-3 normal coats of the rust remover stuff would be best to convert
all the rust. I have used this stuff to stop minor rust around the
hatch area on my 88 900T too.
POR15 is said to be the ultimate, but it is quite expensive and not
locally available.
The alternative is removing ALL the rust, which is sometimes VERY difficult
and involves lots of labor and is sometimes impossible. And them priming
quickly. Clean metal rusts REAL quick, just like brake rotors rust
quick ; like in an hour. This method is also sometimes preffered because it
is neatest cosmetically. The rust-converter stuff will do what it's
supposed to, but the spot won't be smooth, just like a rust spot is not smooth. Obviously if it's near a weld, removing all the rust will be
impossible and you'd be just asking for trouble cleaning it up and repainting, so POR15 or rust converter would be more appropriate in that situation.
