I sandblasted my frame down to shiny steel, used the rust converter that they supplied, and then painted. In less than a year, the rust stains began to develop over the whole frame It has continued to rust at the same rate it had been rusting previously. It does not appear to perform any better than any old cheap rattle can paint. I do not know if there is a better product out there, but either way, POR15 does not perform acceptably.
Thanks Navy! I have never used it but I understand POR15 is the best rust converter available Army X 25 years
Incidentally I also treated the inside of a fuel tank that had a small leak. Even though the instructions were carefully followed, the POR15 flaked off the first time I used the tank. (Yes it was let stand to dry for over a week) Basically it left me with a mess - clogged fuel filter full of paint flakes - went through about 4 filters to burn 37 gallons of fuel. Needless to say, that tank is now rendered useless.
