I've an old stool i'd like to repaint, but can't get it loose to clean parts.** A: Probably not. I’d try a penetrating oil like PB Blaster to loosen stuck metal. **Q: Can this be painted over with acrylic lacquer paint?** A: Yes, but you will need to thoroughly clean the treated area and allow it to dry before applying paint. **Q: Which rust remover product works best on chrome wheels?** A: This is NOT a rust stain remover. It is designed to halt corrosion. **Q: What type of acid does this product use?** A: It contains Phosphoric acid. Very good product. I used it to touch up rust spots on my truck almost a year ago. Through one winter with heavy salt use and everything is still good. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised *by L***N on June 24, 2025* Amazing.
