Just ordered a Por15 kit to do the floors in 65 Coronet. My floors are very solid just wanted to preserve them . Does the Por15 work well and stop any rust. I have some light surface rust no holes. Also I'm not doing a rotisserie on the car just a real nice driver hopefully. What do you use on the frame and inner fenders and quarters, trunk once cleaned up same thing

They have excellent information and advice on their website and yes, it's an excellent product if used
correctly.
 
POR 15 is garbage!! I think it promotes rust. Not only would I not use it ever again but I would not buy a car that has it on it. (JMO)
I’ve used it on freshly sandblasted metal following their instructions to the letter. 6 months later rust was coming through the paint. The car never left the garage!! Beside it was another car that was there for years in bare metal that wasn’t rusting at all.
I know several others that have tried it and all were disappointed with it.

I have always had great results. I don't recommend painting it directly over rust as advertised. I clean everything up and use their metal prep, then paint it on with a foam brush. I have never had any rust return. Just make sure you get it into all affected areas. It stops rust by keeping air from getting to the metal.
 
I would remove as much rust as possible then treat the metal with a rust converter, then use an epoxy primer. (Like the one Jim Coronette suggested)

Correct. There IS a process that, if followed, leaves a rock-hard surface and all rust neutralized.
Use a wire brush to get loose scale off, vacuum the surface, use their prep solution, then lay on the actual sealant.
It'll turn black wherever it encounters rust and clear everywhere else.
POR-15 pioneered the process first; others have imitated them in the years since.
 
Ok seems mixed reviews on Por15. I'd assume it's in the details and following the prep to a T. I'm sure there are a lot of products that will do the same. I dont think I can cancel order I ordered on ebay it was cheaper . Hopefully It does a good job.
 
Check out Master Series. Everyone I know that has used it, loves it. They have a demonstration wheel that’s half painted and half rusted. The guy leaves it outside all year long.
 
I wouldn't guarantee there is nothing better but I used it on 3 restifications in the past 20 years and have not had any rust issues resurface. I did however use their directions to the tee. I know it gets hard to remove once dried. I also used the POR 15 in a tube for a few pin holes in the floor of my 60 Dart 20 years ago and the area has not pealed, blistered or chipped yet. IMO, if you don't want to use it as directed you probably won't be happy with the results. That don't only apply to paint.
 
I am good with it. I used all 3 applications as directed and it came out great. Respirator. You will not make it.

Also, you have to wire wheel and get the heavy stuff removed.
 
Used it a few times and never had an issue...even in soggy Britain. You need to remove the lose stuff but no need to wire off the solid stuff. Both subframes on my ALFA DD were done a couple of years back and both frames were pretty rusty and I was worried about holes appearing (an MOT failure (our annual safety check)). Not a sign of any coming back through so far. You do need to do it on a warm day...any trace of moisture on the rust and you are doomed to failure.
 
Anyone use rust mort by sem? I’m getting ready to treat some frame rails on my truck with it.
