Por-15 Thats what I have been using on my project, the finish is great and extremely tough.
Its easy to use too just clean off any loose rust, paint or other stuff and use thier Marine clean
to make sure all surfaces are clean. Then use the prep and ready to etch the metal then rinse
and let dry then you can apply por-15. I used blackcoat over the por-15 so it will not fade
because the por-15 base is not UV resistant.

The BEST chassis application that I have found is a product called "Chassis Saver. It applies like POR 15. All you need to do is wire-brush your frame,wipe it down with lacquer thinner,and apply the product. It is widely used on commercial and municipal applications,such as snow-plows,and related equipment,exposed,and used in adverse weather conditions,especially under corrosive (road-salt)conditions.This product is manufactured by a company called "Magnet". There is a video,on "Youtube" of this product being applied to Ted Nugent's 4X4,since the weather in Michigan did a "number" on it.go to http://magnetpaint.com This product has been tested and proven very durable,for at least 10-years. I painted my frame rails,axles and springs 3-years ago,and the only rust showing is the leaf springs,because of the constant friction. I am VERY pleased with this product! The other GREAT part of "Chassis-Saver" is,it is one-step.no need to prime,or top-coat! You may top-coat,if you wish to,though. The mfr. states that the coating is not affected by U.V. rays,although the coating will turn from satin black,to dull gray,over time. Hope this helps.
