how has it worked for you?i used it on the inside/ bottom of the doors on my DD.i cleaned it down to bare metal and it seems to have a rusty color over some of it?i stirred it 10 times before every brush stroke.any thoughts?
 
ummm yeh, thats what happens with Michigan salt trucks.....its an endless battle from what I've experienced...
 
acording to the ad i'm good forever. it's been 3 months. and they hardly salt here Dave. there is no money to pay the drivers.maybe there has to be rust for it to work?:haha:

Actually I think it needs rust to work properly. I looked into that stuff when I put the new floor pans and roll cage in my 82 Camaro, found out you weren't supposed to put it over bare metal so I went with another route.
 
I was debating rust bullet vs. chassis saver and I went the chassis saver route. The stuff is bulletproof and held up really well. I didn't take it quite all the way down to bare metal, but it looks the same over the surface rust I ground off and the painted parts I hit with 80 grit.

I thought POR-15 was the only stuff that couldn't be put directly on bare metal. :dunno:
 
basically did my entire truck with rust bullet and blackshell (body off) but im still in the process of puttin it all back together so i wont know how well it holds up for a while. but my other friends who have used it love it and i did some touchup on out plow truck with it. even through all the salt and sand its holding up good
 
here are some pics. i don't know if it's rust bleeding from the weep holes or if i did it wrong??if it was warm enough to wash it ,i could prolly tell.this 15 degree stuff sucks.and so does salt.the pics are a little crappy.:haha:

What part of the vehicle are we looking at? You have to apply that stuff front and back. It really only protects the surface of whatever it's stuck to. Rust still has free reign from the back if that isn't coated. Unless the whole panel is coated front and back, all edges, etc., the rust will still travel underneath. Not as bad as with POR-15, but it still happens.

I still consider road salt to be organized vandalism, using my own tax dollars to screw me.
