would this work on a rusted metal? rusted truck body?

It will work, for awhile. Fiberglass is not the right way to repair metal. Regardless of which fix you use you need to remove all of the rust and the preferred and proper way to repair metal is by welding in new metal. If you fiberglass patch it will not last. This technique is used by low quality shops that simply want something to look good long enough to sell it to some sucker.

Need to clean the rust off first maybe with some rust elimnator. But yes it works great!

It is not totally chrome plated, the internal faces are black so I reckon with some prep and spray primer for metal you could easily spray gloss of Matt black and make it look sweet on your truck - worth a shot in my opinion!

I had some rusted areas, all I did was scuff up the rusted areas and applied the plastikote with a brush on the rusted areas and then went over those areas with a roller later on. If the areas are rusted to where the metal has gotten thinner than original, I would not reccommend going over the thin or brittle areas. make sure by tapping areas lightly with a light hammer or the wooden handle of a screwdriver. Hope my personal experience helps. It's hard to give advice without seeing the problem in person, but I think you should be alright if you follow this advise. Al

I used this to remove rust from my Bronze stuff and it worked well. I don't know if it will remove rust on steel wheels.

I have and it worked great. Patched a spot on aluminum boat over the rustoleum and apllied paint again to top coat it. No problems at all

The edge curves and does a good job of gripping the threshold for my door - I suspect you would find the same would be true for your truck bed. You will likely mar the truck bed's finish and you could end up going through the paint with possible rust.

I can't imagine what rusts that you'd use this to shine. It removes TARNISH. If some rust had just rubbed off onto something else through proximity, I'd THINK it would remove the non-original rust, but this is just speculation on my part.

Yes.. for sure... have it on my truck- body and headlights. Will not work on chrome

I don't think that would work. This has rusted very quickly for me and the appearance is very disappointing.

Yes, unless the rust has already pitted the surface. If the rust has already ruined the sur surface, you will see some variation. But it will clean it up.

It has worked on any metal or plastic I have tried it on. Be sure that the area of repair is properly cleaned.

There is nothing in the instructions that tells a user what type metal this solution works on. It works on carbon steel. I am sorry I cant be of more help. It is worth a try.

Same as other responses here. I used it as fuel tank treatment to remove rust and it worked well. Have kept it full of fuel since, so no flash rusting has occurred. I would use another product to prevent it from rusting again in the future, if necessary. Good luck.

Yes I would expect it to work for your application. I would however ensure threads are cleaned very well to allow it to bond to the metal surfaces.

I think it will work on any metal surface. If you did the polishing, make sure the polish didn't have any silicone or wax in it. If it did, I would use lacquer thinner to clean before spraying. I found that this product does not work on outdoor projects. I used it on exterior brass door hardware and it lasted about two weeks before peeling.

I tmay depend on whether the RV is bare aluminum or is painted. It if is painted and shiny then yes, but I would not use it on bare aluminum.

As the can says it is a metal polish, so I beleive it would work fine on any metal, you just rub some of the product on it until it turns dark and wipe it off, should look great, I have also left a thin coat of the product overnight on items that were realy bad and the next day they came back to life
