Por 15 vs Eastwood for Rust Repair
I have some small rust spots that I want to repair before they become a problem. I have searched and Por 15 products have a good rep on this board. Just curious about Eastwood products. They have a good rep on other internet BBS's I've searched.
Any strong opinions??? TIA Alan

The Eastwood materials are easier to use than the POR-15. Get POR-15 on yourself (and you will), it's not coming off. I have found both products to work well for different applications. If you can scuff up the surface to be painted , I lean toward the POR-15...very tough when dried, but it dries with a smooth surface that makes topcoat painting difficult. The Eastwood rust paint sprays or brushes on very easily, but can scratch through. I have primed and painted directly on top of the Eastwood paint without any bleed through. You can also spray the Eastwood paint out of your gun by thinning...not sure about POR-15.

I am just finishing up a minor repair job using POR 15. It is a bit of a pain to prep surface, as the de-greaser and surface prep both require a water rinse. I feel this is a worthy tradeoff as the finish seems to be as tough as nails upon drying. The instructions do refer to spray capability, thinning is accomplished using their proprietery thinner.
