Need Rust Converter compatible with urethanes, enamels, and lacquers

I am looking for a source of a rust converter ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] / encapsulator for steel and cast iron. I would like a brush or spray on product that can then be top coated with urethanes, enamels and lacquers. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Mark

Hi, Mark. You can indeed buy rust converter ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] in spray cans or brush-on by following the link.

Still, it sounds like you are really looking for an iron phosphatizing pretreatment process. There are a number of suppliers of such pretreatment chemistry listed in our directory of Chemicals & Equipment.
