Rust Converter Recommendations. Aerosol for sun faded/surface rust car.

Is this just a temp fix or is the rust convertor over rust the basis for your body/paint work. Seems you mentioned the roof, etc. I can see its use inside panels, then topcoat with a good heavy enamel or epoxy primer followed by a heavy urethane/enamel. Otherwise, JUST ask any good bodyman about using it on the outside of your car to be later primed/painted????/
There are reasons why I buy projects and do them to suit me and not something someone else attempted.

My goal was to find a chemical converter. Spray, or brush it on, and brown surface rust turns black. That's all. Combine that with sanding, and end up with a good starting point for priming and blocking. That's all. No I'm not going to brush paint my roof with kill-rust brush paint. I'm no body expert, so trying to prevent problems before attempting actual paint prep.

Maybe I'm over thinking it and im underestimating what a "self etching primer" can be used for instead of a "rust converter" I will definitely need my hand held for the paintjob.
