Is it necessary to remove Existing Surface Paint prior to the application of Rust Bullet?
The removal of existing surface paint prior to Rust Bullet application will depend on the condition and type of paint on the surface. To achieve maximum adhesion and protection, it is always recommended to remove any old paint or coating before applying Rust Bullet. If the removal of the existing paint or coating is not possible, the painted surface should be sanded with 100 to 150 grit sandpaper prior to applying Rust Bullet. In this case, apply Rust Bullet over tight paint only; always remove anything loose or flaky.
