I am about ready to start using something on the frame. I searched and found references to both. Which have you used and any comments would be appreciated. I don't want to start a war, like oil war, etc. I am thinking it is better to brush on to get a better coat. Thanks, Howard
Rust converter Like oil, your going to get answers all across the board. I checked out both, they are good products, but decided on a different one. Pit-guard Rapid-Coat by PPG. It's a two part epoxy that I sprayed on parts that had been media blasted and others that were not. It seems to cover well on both. I should have brushed it on but wanted it back in areas the brush couldn't get to. Rustoleum makes the same thing. I'm happy with it and I guess that's all that matters. I haven't used it under the cab yet. If I converted all the rust, not sure I'd have anything left to put back on the frame Rick
i used the por-15 on my new floors and under the cab i brushed it on like the lid says dont get it on your skin you will wear it for about 2 weeks. Robert
Thanks guys. I talked to a guy who has done some restores in the past and is currently almost complete with another. He said that he has used POR-15 in the past and had great results, he went with the Eastwood stuff on this last one and now has some bubbling. He was very impressed with Eastwood at first, but now is very discouraged with it. This agrees with the comments on the Eastwood website. I am definately leaning toward the POR-15 now. Where can it be purchased? Thanks, Howard
por-15 I brushed on por-15 after sandblasting my frame about four years ago. It took a while but the results were great, no brush marks and and a tough coat of paint on the frame. I spent many weeks with black paint all over my hands, I tried everything to get it off. It wasn't until about a year ago that I was doing work on my cab with por-15 that I discovered that spray brake cleaner will take the stuff off your hands. Don't clean your hand any where near your truck! Les
Warning ! Danger !danger ! Never , EVER let Brakleen , carby cleaner or Electro-Contact cleaner touch your skin ! they are absorbed instantly and make a bee line to your liver & kidneys, , a horrible way to die . Eastwood's rust encapsulator almost always has rust after a few years , POR-15 doesn't nor does Rustoleum in a can....
