Suggestions please.

It protects the under side from rust, but it also prevents "stars" in the paint from forming on the top side of the fender. Stars are the result of rocks being thrown against the fender.
Another product is an under coating By 3M. It comes in an aerosol can. One can will provide about 3 coats. After it cures, you can either leave it black or paint it.
Another idea that most people use is just paint it with tractor paint that you get at Tractor Supply. It's tough paint and safer than POR-15. And a lot less expensive.

The weight of the fenders nearly doubled and the reduction in road noise was incredible. I paid $100.00 for each fender and would do it again.
