POR 15 Vs. Rust Bullet

Post by **cmcdowell** » Mon Jan 31, 2011 11:22 am

Hey Everyone,

I've been trying to decide for the past month which Rust Preventer I want to go with on my build. I recently stumbled across this article in a google search and I thought you'd all find it interesting. It actually compares Rust Bullet, POR 15 and Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator. I'm sure in our dry climate each one is more than adequate. Based on the photographs, though, I think I'm going with POR 15.

Thanks,

I would say do the test yourself to get what you are looking for. It looks as though the rust bullet had 2 unprotected ends from him cutting, so more than the "scratch" as well as the others. Being we don't live in Houstton any should work, but I would do the test w/ all 3 completely covered and unscratched to see how long if any time to "breach" the seal. IMO that would make more sense to me.

Isn't the idea to encapsulate?? not encapsulate then open up multiple areas back to bare metal

Either one is good. I used RustBullet on the entire front and rear portions of the interior. I used the silver first, then a coat of BlackShell. I couldn't be happier with the results. POR15 will fade unless you top coat it but I think it is perfect for frames.

How is it on your skin, If you are a little sloppy? Looks like lacquer!

The black is thick and the silver is formulated more like paint and the black levels itself out but is still pretty thick. You don't want to let it dry on your skin.

Anyone want to trade jobs? I just can't believe how much time everyone seems to have to do such great things to their Broncos.

Plumbdoctor, did you get the painter/carpenter position at Caridian BCT?

I have heard I made the finalist list, but have not heard anything from Cardian yet. Picked up a small refridgeration gig, so that will hold me up for a couple o' weeks
