Does anyone have a real strong preferance to any one of them? Or any opinions on rust conversion as opposed to rust encapsulation? I'm sure this topic has been covered before, but I figured since time has passed since the last post, if anyone had any failures since then.

Check out the write-up in the tech section.

I did my inner fenders and under the running boards with ZeroRust, and they came out good, easy to spray on with a HVLP gun. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | I've only used the Eastwood Rust Converter and I like it. It's water based and seems to do what it's advertised to do and now it's available in aerosol which I have yet to try.
I've also used their Rust Encapsulator.
I'm very happy with those products. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I have only used POR15 and really like it. Yes, its messy, smelly will dry out on you if not careful plus be sure to use a respirator if spraying and some sort of mask if brushing it on. I really like the finish on it and its tough as nails.
Do a search on POR15 and enjoy the reading for ah hour or so. Be sure to follow safety directions on any of it! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 199 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 199 | I used the rust conversion system from Eastwood. I found that if you already have some rust, it works great in converting it and then leaving a zinc phosphate like finish that you then can paint. Just seemed to me that if I was gonna paint over some rust I might as well try and kill it off first. I think you will get the same results with all three but like Woody said, you cant beat the water based nature of the product.
