For the 1st time I've tried the Eastwood product. For years I've used POR 15. POR 15 spreads very well with a sponge brush. The Eastwood stuff spreads like watered down paint. I had to use more coats. Anyone else notice this? Seems like the Eastwood product would be best sprayed on.

if you paint over the por15,, you must scuff/ cut it with at least 320 paper,, to give the next coat of paint something to bite onto,, otherwise your paint will chip, fall off,, jc

Has anybody used por-15 then their ty-coat primer then paint it. They claim you can put the ty-coat on and it can be painted over with no adhesion problems. Has anybody tried this.
I've done (sprayed) a complete body (Cuda) in the clear POR-15, over all the lead and body filler, then coated with Dupont primer-surfacer, then primed/paint with no issues....paint has been on the car for 10+yrs,....and I didn't sand the POR-15 prior to sealing

How effective do you think it would be to remove the small body plugs on the back side and pour/squirt Eastwood Rust Encapsulator inside and rock the truck back and forth
Well you could do that if you're a sucker for punishment OR you could just buy their Internal Frame Coating.

The rocker panels on my pickup are starting to blister on the bottom. How effective do you think it would be to remove the small body plugs on the back side and pour/squirt Eastwood Rust Encapsulator inside and rock the truck back and forth???   
We tried something similar on the quarters around the wheelwell. There wasn't much through rust and that was cut out and patched with steel. The POR15 was shot in 'till it was running out the drain holes. Still rusted (about 10 years including some winter use). Really was the wrong approach. If the surface can't be properly prepped a paint type finish coating will not work. Maybe Corroless if you want to import it, but even there its not made to be applied blind. Much better to use a product like Waxoyl (usually available from places that deal with Brit cars). LPV3 is/was a similar product if you don't have much to do as its available in spray cans.

i have ried both the Eastwood product and POR, both do basically what they say they will. I recently tried Chassis Black from Monstaliner on the bottom and inside my Cuda, that stuff rocks! I spreayed it on; it goes on thin but sticks like nothing I have ever seen. I painted my 52 Dodge B2B with it as well. Didnt prep either and it really adheres to whatever you put it on. In fact I had painted one component of the truck that I needed to weld on later, so I tried to bead blast it off, it was very difficult to get off. I highly recommend it and will use it again.
