Top Picks
Ace Rust Stop Oil-Based Enamel Rust Preventative Paint — £47.99
A dedicated rust-preventative paint in classic Allis Chalmers Orange, designed for both indoor and outdoor use. This delivers genuine corrosion protection for metal surfaces, whether you're restoring vintage equipment or protecting undercarriage components. The oil-based formula adheres durably to prepared surfaces.
The Absorber 27" Synthetic Chamois — £15.99
A high-value detailing essential at under £16. This synthetic chamois eliminates water spots without scratching, making it ideal for drying cars after washing or rain. At 27 inches long and 17 inches wide, it covers substantial surface area and lasts longer than traditional leather.
General Purpose Thinner & Cleaning Solvent (1-pt.) — £19.99
Professional-grade solvent for cleaning epoxies and paint application tools. Essential if you're using products like the Rust Stop paint or maintaining spray equipment. A single pint covers multiple cleaning cycles and won't evaporate quickly if stored properly.
Ace Rust Stop Indoor/Outdoor Gloss Paint (1 Gallon) — £16.99
The same rust-preventative formula as the larger tin, but in a starter 1-gallon size. Ideal for smaller projects, testing colour, or maintaining existing applications. At under £17, this is the entry point for A ABSOPRO's corrosion protection range.
What to Look For
- Surface preparation: Rust-preventative paints perform best on clean, dry, primed surfaces. Budget time for prep work before application.
- Application method: Check whether you're spraying, brushing, or rolling. Thinners like A ABSOPRO's solvent are crucial for spray application consistency.
- Drying time and weather: Oil-based enamels cure slowly but provide durable finishes. Plan application for dry conditions and allow 24+ hours before exposure.
- Tool durability: Accessories like the synthetic chamois outlast one-time use—factor longevity into value comparisons.
The Bottom Line
A ABSOPRO's automotive range prioritises practical, lasting solutions over luxury finishes. If you're maintaining a classic vehicle, protecting metal surfaces, or restocking detailing supplies, The Absorber Synthetic Chamois (£15.99) offers the best value for everyday use, whilst the Ace Rust Stop Paint (£47.99) is your best investment for serious corrosion protection. Pair them with the General Purpose Thinner (£19.99) for a complete maintenance toolkit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is A ABSOPRO good value for money?
Yes. Most products cost under £50, with durable tools like the synthetic chamois lasting years. The rust-preventative paints deliver professional-grade protection at DIY prices, making this range accessible to enthusiasts on modest budgets.
Can I use Ace Rust Stop paint on my car's body?
Ace Rust Stop is formulated for metal surfaces and works well on undercarriage components, chassis, and restoration projects. For visible body panels, verify compatibility with your vehicle's existing finish and primer, or test on a hidden section first.
What's the difference between the 1-gallon and larger Ace Rust Stop tins?
Both contain identical rust-preventative formula. The 1-gallon (£16.99) suits small projects or testing, while the larger tin (£47.99) provides better value per litre for extensive applications like full undercarriage protection.
Do I need the General Purpose Thinner for brush application?
No. The thinner is primarily for spray equipment and tool cleaning. Brush application typically uses the paint as supplied. Only thin if coverage is poor or the formula has thickened from storage.
