PLEASE NOTE: Porters Liquid Iron and Instant Rust are two separate products that need to be purchased individually. You can purchase each item by selecting them in the drop down menu and then adding each individually to your cart. 

The Porters Liquid Iron & Instant Rust system lets you age and patinate surfaces for an authentic rusted‑iron look. Start by applying Liquid Iron as a base. Then brush on Instant Rust to trigger a chemical reaction that creates real rust over hours. The finish develops and deepens over time. Use it inside or outdoors to turn plain paintable surfaces into weathered, rustic features.
