POR-15 45308 Silver Rust Preventive Coating - 1 pint

My hubby bought this product for his boat and car. You can paint anything and it stops the rust. He thoroughly recommended this product.

Have used this stuff for 30+ years, & nothing treated with it has ever rusted again.

Great. It's thin and paints on well. And smooths out well, yet the silver does sort of fill gaps yet dries very smooth. Very easy to paint with but brushes are one-use only (even wrapped airtight in a plastic bag they were toast after 1 use). I painted underside of vehicle so perfection wasn't necessary and I used chip brushes and they worked just fine. I painted the very bottom of doors with very minimal interior exposure and it still made the inside of the vehicle smell like paint. Not terrible but if you are painting anything inside it will smell like paint fumes. I can't say about the durability as of yet as it's only been a short while but you can just tell the stuff is very tough.

Most of the time it will work well, only if you take the time to prepare the metal first. Degrease the metal. Rinse it off with water. Apply Metal Prep, for the correct time. Rinse that off with water. Make sure it's totally dry, and apply POR 15. I've had times, where I followed the Instructions, to the letter, and had disappointing results.

The can came with some light spillage in the box it was shipped in but the product sealed the crack in the lid. Very strong when it's built up but was very thin and took many layers to built up a base layer. I think the value is okay if it really holds up but the can had very little in it and was already a very small can. I will be trying a competitor the next time around for some additional perspective. Overall I don't feel like it held up to all the praise I've heard it given over the years.
