Which would you prefer to use to coat the topside of your floorpans and trunk?
i would not use por 15 and linex/rhino liner products ect. all they do is hide the problem. hacks, butchers, and cobblers use this method to hide rust , poor quality and sub-standard repairs. i wouldn't by a car with these materials applied to them. it's obvious that someone is trying to deceive someone else.
Not if you remove the problem then take good photos to show what was under there. The point of products like those is to preserve, so the same issues don't happen again. Better products than what the factory used to prevent rust. Yes, people sometimes use them to hide and deceive, but that is not proper use of the product.
that maybe true, but one's lack of patience and or skill's usually overide quality and doing things right. if it wasn't acid dipped or media blasted cut out and replaced and e-coated it probably didn't do it any good slopping por 15 over a scuffed up or wire wheeled floor did not take care of the rust, it still continues to grow underneath and it will find it' way.i've been restoring cars for years and have been presented many different option's and products that will take care of rust . but it still comes down to remove the cancer you can't put a band aid on it and say it's gone
POR15 is not porous. That is why nothing will stick to it.
yes you did say "remove the problem". so we agree on that. this is the point i am trying to get across.
"that maybe true, but one's lack of patience and or skill's usually overide quality and doing things right" it is the nature of people to do things halfway and assume it to be good enough.

Agreed.
Especially if they plan to sell or trade the car in the future. I cant stand people who do that. it is like the people who prime the car then put it up for sale. I dont want something hidden under primer. I would rather know what I am starting with.
As far this car. It is my baby and will never be for sale as long as I am alive.
If you see a for sale sign on my Valiant, you know it has been stolen or I am dead. LOL
I agree with a lot that is said above. POR stands for Paint Over Rust correct? When you use a product like that it specifically states NOT to clean the area to bare steel with media or any other abrasive. Personally that isn't a proper method of rust removal or corrosion protection. I have also used POR-15 and personally thought it was the worst product I have ever used. I wasn't using it on a rusted area just coating the back side of some fenders. It brushed like an oil based paint that left massive streaks and was VERY hard to cover, then no matter what type of storage method I tried, the cans got rock hard and 50% of the product was thrown in the garbage.
In my personal opinion these products would be good for the bottom side of a car, NOT rusted, for a nice finish if undercoating isn't wanted. I used the Eastwood stuff on the bottom of my car and it turned out nice. I would never use POR-15 again.
Here is an example of poor prep. When I got my dart someone had used POR-15 over bare steel, it was peeling on every inch of what they applied it to, and after hours of sandblasting to remove it, I applied the proper coatings to make it last. You can't just slap something over rust and think its going to "lock" it out. It needs to be repaired or replaced.
