POR-15 Rust Treatment & POR15 Rust Prevention Paint
POR-15 is a high-tech, high performance rust-preventive coating designed for application directly on rusted or seasoned metal surfaces. It dries to a rock-hard, non-porous finish that won't chip, crack, or peel, and it prevents rust from recurring by protecting metal from further exposure to moisture.
POR-15 is sensitive to UV light (sun) and must be topcoated before prolonged exposure to sunlight. POR-15 is cured and strengthened by exposure to moisture and will dry faster under extreme humidity, but moderate to dry atmospheric conditions are most desirable when applying this product. That’s because extreme humidity may cause an immediate surface cure, trapping carbon dioxide gas below the surface. When this happens, bubbling may occur. Extreme humidity at the time of application may also interfere with proper adhesion of the POR-15 coating to bare metal because it is almost impossible to keep the metal dry under such conditions.
Use it to coat rusty frames, floor pans, farm equipment, marine equipment, or even a heavily corroded battery tray.
Typical cost of POR15 is around 25 dollar a pint and is available in quantities of pint, quart, gallon and 5 gallons with discounts for quantities.

Great product

I painted my frame and suspension/chassis with POR-15 about 4 years ago and it looks as good now as it did the day it was painted. In areas that are highly visible, like the the frame and crossmember in the engine compartment, trailing arms, and control arms, I sprayed some of Eastwoods Chassis Black on teh POR-15 while it was still tacky. It looks great. I've never used the Corroless or Rust Encapsulator, I'm sure it's a good product, but I've always had good luck with POR products.

Pros:

POR15 seems better than Coroless
|
|
Cons:
|
|

I've used both of them on my restoration-----POR-15 on the entire frame and EASTWOOD's Coroless on the radiator support. What I have noticed with both of them is they work great on rusty metal, but when applied to unrusted metal-- they don't adhere that well ! It can pop off fairly easily when hit. The POR-15 is much harder and durable (so it seems !) and is my choice between the two! Rick

I use eastwoods encapsulator and yes its just renamed corroless.I didnt know it came in black now.I have used the por-15 and it was not user freindly at all and very hard to clean off hands and equipment.Its also very sensitive to moisture/humidity.I used some last year on a rainy day,it dried quick ,but a few days later I opened the can up to use the remainder of it and it dried in the can .I called the rep ,and he said it was because it had been exposed to moisture.

been using it for years with very good results

POR-15 is different than the "rust-conversion" type of products, as there is no "conversion" involved, it does not work by converting iron oxide into brittle iron phosphate, its bond to the surface is mainly mechanical, simply penetrating and sealing the surface against further oxygen and water penetration to arrest the rusting process, it then remains flexible indefinitely.
I have been using it for years with very good results, it works great on rusty surfaces, but not for crap over any other paint or on smooth unrusted metal. I have sample pieces of rusted sheetmetal that I have treated with POR and then folded in half and then flattened back out with a hammer and dolly without any chipping or cracking, just a few surface scuff marks.
I encourage anyone to obtain a little and experiment with it...but the key factor is that the surface must be well rusted for it to attain its maximum performance.

Doesn't work, over priced, will make you hate yourself.

This product, used as directed on a freshly sand blasted frame, allowed the formation of rust after only 3 months of normal vehicle use. I regret spending the money on it... Rustoleum is a better product.

Anything you spill it on will stay that color forever

Used this on rusty areas on a very quick temporary paint job on my old truck. Worked extremely well, the 'temporary' paint job is still looking good 3 years later. Working in a parking lot, so just scraped off the loose rust first.
Previously used it (this time with their metal prep) to reseal a leaky motorcycle gas tank, worked good for that too.
