I've looked into POR-15, Rust bullet etc. i'm seriously considering some of the products from Eastwood....looking for input from people who have used some of these products. i have surface rust issues....no rot.
Do something! Even if it's wrong!

Have you bought the POR-15 yet?
If so, when you put it on what color was it?
Thanks!

The Encapsulator in the spray can is very handy and I've used it a lot. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 | UnklRod, it goes on black.
The Eastwood stuff is less toxic and less costly than POR15 and easier to use. If you decide to use POR15 prepare the surface correctly and it will be tough as nails. I actually used it on my bed wood, then followed it up with POR topcoat black. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Rust???

I used the rustoleum products on it back around 1998 and it still looks and holds up good....but I still like the POR15 on chassis when I can afford it!! | | |
