Por15 vs. Rust Bullet?

What is the best rust treatment? I am resealing/dynamating my interior and am taking care of a little surface rust(and some MAJOR HOLES) and want the best rust proofing once it is all cleaned. Anyone have experience with both and a preference? Pros and cons?

Re: Por15 vs. Rust Bullet?

I have not used POR-15 but something similar, KBS rust sealer. It is very tough stuff, has held up well, but gets pricey when you calculate all the prep products. I have no experience with Rust Bullet. I have also recently used a product called Chassis Saver by magnet paints. The price is better than POR-15 and I can get it through a local supplier, which saves shipping. It is basically the same stuff, moisture-cured urethane. I personally don't think you can go wrong on any of these, but in the end it may come down to cost, which is usually the deciding factor.

I have been using chassis saver for years, hands down the best. IMO it makes Por15 look like it was meant for pre schoolers

Re: Por15 vs. Rust Bullet?

I used to use Chassis saver, but resently I switched to POR 15 cause we can not get it locally in a fricken rattle can!!!!! Plus It only took my 1 1/2 cans of the POR15 to paint the entire inside of my car, including the roof and new rool cage and sides.

Count me a 'preschooler.' I have no experience with other brands, but I have used POR-15 for several years with excellent results. Recommended.
