Stop and Catch Boat Trailer Rust Before It Starts
Long-Term Protection with Rust Grip®
Ocean based boat trailers face really tough conditions – salt, water, heat, UV, vibration and constant road abrasion and if you don’t clean them, the trailers are are tested. It’s a brutal environment where standard paints and galvanised finishes eventually fail, very quickly in many cases. Once corrosion starts, it spreads fast, eating through your trailer from the inside out.
Rust Grip® is the professional-grade corrosion encapsulation coating that stops rust before it starts. Designed for the world’s harshest environments, it seals and locks metal surfaces – even over existing rust – creating an air-tight, moisture-tight barrier proven to last.
Why haven’t you Heard About Rust Grip®?
Rust Grip® isn’t your average trailer paint – it’s industrial armour. Originally developed for oil rigs, pipelines and more, it was engineered to stop corrosion in the harshest environments on earth. That’s why most people haven’t heard of it – it’s been protecting billion-dollar infrastructure, not sitting on Bunnings hardware shelves. Unlike standard paints that flake, chip, and need redoing every season, Rust Grip® locks into metal and seals it tight, creating a rock-hard barrier that moisture and salt can’t penetrate.
The truth is, big paint brands spend millions selling coatings that fail fast so you buy more. Rust Grip® breaks that cycle. It lasts for decades, not months, so there’s no repeat business – just lasting protection. Now, through NEOtech Coatings, boat trailer owners can access the same technology trusted by SpaceX and the U.S. military. It’s time to move beyond cheap paint jobs. Protect your trailer once – and properly.
Built for Marine Conditions
Tested and proven under ASTM B117 Salt Spray for over 15,000 hours with zero failure, Rust Grip® outperforms every conventional paint or epoxy system on the market. In fact check out this comparison with a leading competitor for above water corrosion protection.

It’s trusted worldwide on bridges, oil rigs, ship decks, military vehicles and more – you as a boat owner who wants the same industrial protection on your trailer.
Why It Works
- Bonds to rust and metal – penetrates deep into pores and stops corrosion at the source
- Low Permeability – at just very low permeability of just 0.24 perms it suffocates, not air or moisture can touch the metal
- Single-coat system – no primer, no topcoat required
- Surface tolerant – with basic surface preparation, Rust Grip is easy to apply and adhere
- Extreme durability – cures up to 6,780 psi/470 bar tensile strength (stronger than concrete)
- UV and salt resistant – built to handle full sun and saltwater immersion
- Flexible and impact-tough – won’t chip, crack or peel under road vibration or expansion
- No cathodic shielding – allows natural corrosion protection to continue under the coating.
Easy to Apply
- You don’t need a professional paint booth or blasting setup
- At the basic level, just wire-brush loose rust, wipe clean, and apply with a brush, roller (best performance) or spray
- Rust Grip® self-levels to a smooth, satin finish and locks into place as it cures
- Touch-ups are easy – simply clean and recoat the affected area.
Where to Use It
Perfect for all steel or galvanised trailer components:
- Trailer frames and cross-members
- Axles, couplings and drawbars
- Leaf suspension and jockey wheels
- Welded joints, winch posts and brackets
- Undercarriages and steps
Can also be top-coated with Enamo Grip® if a gloss finish in white or clear.

Real-World Performance
For over 25 years, Rust Grip® has been used in coastal environments, shipyards and offshore installations that endure daily salt spray, tidal exposure and harsh UV. Independent lab tests and long-term field use confirm its ability to seal out oxygen and moisture completely – the two things rust needs to survive.
In marine conditions, Rust Grip® delivers a 10–20 year service life without recoating if applied at a minimum of 2-3 coats. Many global applications in service since the 1990s are still performing today.
