    I seem to remember a thread about a POR 15 alternative in spray on application. I did a search and can not find it. Could some one point me in the right direction? Plus what is your experience with the alternative?

    I like Chassis Saver or SEM Rust-sheild these are cost effective there is also Rust Bullet, Rust Encapsulator and a slew of others which I think are just the same repacked stuff :confused: I painted a Rusty out door iron gate with all kinds of stuff customers bring in and after 5 years all of them are holding strong. If you prep it right All of these will hold up just fine.

    Thanks
    I agree prep is the key.
    I,m swapping the rearend and since it is all apart i want to paint it up. Everything is in great shape. Just look to see if there are any alternatives to POR.

    Rust Encapsulator

    Dave,
    I have used Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator with real good results.
    I sprayed a piece of metal that had scale rust, cleaning up only one half of
    it. I treat the other side with phosphoric acid. I left it outside as a test to see how good this stuff works. After three months the encapsulator looks like the day I sprayed it. The side threated with just phosphoric acid has some surface rust trying to come back.

    12lives Control the controllable, let the rest go

    didn't Eastwood sell something called Corrorless(sp)? Is that the new rust encapsulator?

    Yes--the Corroless is now the Rust Encapsulator.

    Also--you guys are forgetting ZeroRust--another decent product and it comes in spray cans or in quarts, etc for a spray gun. Also has quite few colors available. This and Eastwood Encapsulator lean towards the flattish side of the gloss scale-definitely semi flat type paints so do a test area before you decide whether to use these as the final coatings.
