How to remove the rust on metal roof?

Hi, may I ask how to fix the rust on the metal roof? Think the roof sheet were imported and not colourbond in Australia. Attach the photo of the current roof sheet. Thanks in advance.

Easy enough. Use a wire brush to  scrape off and smooth rust out. Get a can of bitumen paint. I think the brand name is Ormanoid and paint it on. Get the paintable not the putty. Then apply spray paint of your colour choice. Preferably Kill Rust. That should do the trick.

Hello @AWong

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your roof.

 

It's great that you've received excellent advice from @Mario51. Just to add an extra option, you can also use the White Knight Rust Guard System. I suggest using the rust converter, followed by the primer and then the topcoat. The best part of the system is the topcoat can be tinted to the same colour as your roof. Please make sure to bring a paint chip sample for the paint specialist to match.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please don't hesitate to post them.
