Ive used Rustolium heavyly rusted metal primer, which seems to be pretty much the same. Ive only used it on areas with light surface rust. But after ive sanded it down. I havnt had a problem with that rust coming back in my cars yet (year and half-ish) and i live in RI.

Thanks for the feedback. Everything I have read on other forums has been very positive about this stuff. I am going to give it a try this summer.

I'm doing my rear end with it as well. Wire brush, wash and towel dry, then spray and you should be fine.

Why not POR-15?

Not that I know of. However, it can be sprayed.

Not really convenient for me. I'll stick with cheap rattle can stuff for the axle.

I've done the a-arms and the entire rear end with POR-15 (as well as some portions of the body), but those pieces were out of the car, which, of course, made them much easier to deal with. Still, good stuff. Done right, you'll never have to redo.
