How I’m Stopping Rust on My Skoolie for Good

The battle against rust is real, especially when you’re converting a school bus. In this video, I show how I treated all the metal on my Skoolie to stop the rust for good and protect the body for the long haul.

I used a full lineup of products — Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Gel, Purple Power Degreaser, POR-15 Metal Prep, EverCoat Metal-2-Metal, EverCoat Kitty Hair Fiber, Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal Primer, and Rust-Oleum Protective Enamel — to clean, prep, and seal every inch of metal.

If you’re working on a DIY Skoolie conversion, restoring a camper or RV, or doing a rust repair project, this process will make a huge difference. I’ll break down what worked best, what to avoid, and how to keep your metal from corroding again.
