POR-15 Rust Preventive Paint – Silver – Pint POR15
This is best rust preventative and repair product I’ve ever used! Nothing else comes close IMO. Yes it’s expensive but in this case you get what you pay for. My tucking company has used it on our tractor/trailer frames and it’s lasted over 4 years without any sign of more rust appearing. Recently used it to recoat some wrought iron patio furniture that were in bad shape. I had them sand blasted and then used POR 15 and finally a smooth finish coat of enamel paint. They turned out looking brand new and saved me a lot of money by not having to replace these 50 year old chairs.
Here’s some tips if you decide to use this product!
1. Use in a very well ventilated area or better yet… outside
2. Use cheap throw away brushes unless you going for a very smooth finish
3. WEAR latex gloves because once this stuff is on your hands and dries it’s not coming off until it WEARS off!! Nothing I’ve found removes it from your skin….
4. It comes in a metal can which is a royal pita! If the material gets into the lid area and is sealed the can IS NOT opening without destroying it. I learned the hard way to save remaining product in a clean 1 gallon PLASTIC jug. I’ve kept it that way over 2 years and the product still performed perfect.
5. Only pour out what you are going to use! Once you’ve exposed it to the air you CAN NOT pour it back into the remaining product! I buy inexpensive paper containers and throw them away with brush when done.
6. DO NOT attempt to spray this product without proper equipment and organic vapor particulate respirators for solvents! Unless you’re a professional I would not attempt spraying this product!
You will not find a better product to stop metal product from rusting! I’ve even repaired my Weber grill which had started rusting underneath! Did several coats and it’s now perfectly serviceable. That repair saved me from buying over $300 dollars worth of new parts. You DO NOT have to removed the rust to use it which is a huge time saver. It even works better when the metal is rusted as opposed to cleaned.
If you are looking to stop rust and/or save something metal this is the only product to use IMO. It’s well worth the expense if properly used!

Its a nice silver grey metalic color with a very high gloss finish. Too bad you have to cover it with some other paint for outdoor use because it can’t take UV light (according to the instructions). I can’t say anything about durability because I just applied this for the first time.
I applied it with a disposable brush since it was apparently going to be difficult to clean. This seemed ok, though the paint tended to form a thick coat which slowly formed runs no matter how much I tried to brush it out. I think a regular brush would have worked better for this paint.
The paint dried nicely even though the weather turned cold while I was working with it. Because of the way it cures, try not to buy more than you need at once. It may be a one shot deal after you open the can according to the warnings on the label.
