I have used POR-15 for years. It is a great product. It flows out nicely. You can paint over rust ( POR )or paint without the rust if you Ospho, sandblast or etch steel. It needs something to bite. If it is exposed to sunlight, it needs to be topcoated. I'll guarantee it will never rust again if applied properly.

It works great and I even used it to patch a couple of rust out holes using fiber glass screening material. This stuff is a little expensive but works great! But if you are going to do the whole underneath of your rig than I would suggest you might spray on some type of rust inhibitor and then spray with a good undercoating! I did this with my Dodge and it worked out just fine. > Anyone ever use POR-15? - Leroy Eckert - 07-21-2007 19:55 I always remove the flaky rust before treating although I do not believe it is required.

It is an exceptional product that produces a hard glossy finish that is very chip resistant and easy to clean. BUT... in order to get the results that are possible from it requires a lot of preparatory work. All loose rust must be removed requiring scrappin g wire brushing etc. Then the metal preparatory solution, actually an acid etcher, needs to be applied, allowed to work and then thoroughly rinsed off in order to stop the acid action. The surface to be painted must be dry. Make sure that you wear gloves as POR -15 is difficult to remove from your skin. Your results will be great with if you follow the directions. POR 15 is not an inexpensive product for large projects like an entire bus chassis. I have been painting/repainting the chassis of my bus small sections and have had good results from a product called Hammerite. The preparation process is far less complicated. I have been removing all the loose rust, cleaning all the grease and oil from the surface to be covered with solvents then brush painting it on. The product has shown excellent adherence to the chassis and has been holding up well. The acid etching process required for POR-15 is not required. The best part is that Hammerite costs about one forth as much as POR-15. I am not suggesting that Hammerite is a better product than POR-15. In fact it is not. But to be practical, if you are repainting an entire chassis as it sits, that is, with the all the electrical, wiring, hoses and accessories still attached, and are working under the bus. Then acid etching and complete rust removal is not possible. I recommend the less expensive, easier route. I think you will probably be satisfied with the results.
