This is how to stop rust! The ultimate rust preventive system for permanent corrosion protection. Shields metal in just 3 easy steps, clean it, prep it, and coat it. Better than any rust paint available.

The POR-15 3-Step Stop Rust System is designed to stop rust on metal surfaces and ensures the best results when applying POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating. Prepare and prime bare metal or directly paint surface rust with confidence. The clear-cut process when using this rust stopper for metal allows for the proper cleaning, prepping, and coating of metal to create a non-porous surface to seal and protect metal from water, chemicals, salt, fertilizer, acids, alkalis, and other corrosive contaminants. Black and Gray Rust Preventive Coatings are non-conductive and good for EV conversion applications. A topcoat is required if exposed to UV light. Check out this rust stop undercoating now!

The components of the 3-Step Stop Rust System

Step 1: POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser (Formerly Marine Clean) removes grease, oil, dirt, and grime in one application without leaving residues, noxious fumes, or flammable solvents. All in an easy to use water dilutable formula.

Step 2: POR-15 Metal Prep (Formerly Prep & Ready) etches and neutralizes the surface to provide the best adhesion for POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating, primers, and opaque DTM paint, on metal surfaces.

Step 3: POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating is a high-tech, high-performance rust preventive coating designed for application directly on stable rust or seasoned metal surfaces. Permanent rust protection with a hammer-tough finish resistant to acids, alkalis, oils, and repels all fuels.

Step-by-step Restoration

Before: Heavily rusted diamond-plate pickup truck beds can be a problem, fix them permanently with the POR-15 3-Step System.

Step 1: Clean it! Remove loose rust and grime; Soak surface with a water-based Cleaner Degreaser and breakup the grease and oil. Rinse with water and let dry.

Step 2: Prep it! Neutralize rust and etch with Metal Prep. Soak surface and keep it wet for 20-45 minutes. Rinse with water and let completely dry.

Step 3: Coat it! After thorough washing and drying, coat with POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating, right onto the surface rust! At least two thin coats for normal applications.

For areas exposed to U.V. light: Topcoat with Top Coat, 2K Industrial Urethane, or other UV safe opaque paint of your choice.

After: Now you have a PERMANENTLY repaired truck bed, that won't rust again.

The cycle is 30 mins at 135 degrees F, 30% relative humidity and 30 mins at 75-80 degrees F, 100% relative humidity 1,000 hours of exposure equals 5 years of simulated exposure in the Rocky Mountain region. There was no change in the 3 panels coated with POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating exposed for 2,000 hours.

ASTM B-117 Salt Spray - specimens exposed at specific locations and angles. Created a 100% relative humidity condition in the exposure zone.

Two separate B-117 tests. One with new bare steel and the other with rusted steel. Both were coated with POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating.

No change in 3 panels of new steel exposed for 250 hours at 98 degrees. Thickness = 2 mils
No change in 3 panels of rusted steel exposed for 1000 hours at 98 degrees. Thickness = 2 mils

Chemical Resistance

Chemical Bath Test - After 200 hours of soaking in the following chemical bathes, panels coated with POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating experienced no changes: 10% hydrochloric acid, 50% sulphuric acid, 55% chromate, 85% phosphoric acid, 10% sodium hydroxide 98% methanol.

Raw Sewage Test - A metal box that houses a filter for raw sewage in a treatment facility was coated with POR-15 Rust Preventive. After a year of service, no undercutting or rusting was present on the housing.

Impact, Porosity, and Temperature Tests

Mil-D-3134J Impact Resistance - POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating exceeds standards.

ASTM C-413 Water Absorption - method covers the determination of absorption of chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacings, and polymer concretes. 0.0001 maximum

NACE Stand TM0174 - 0.00 POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating is a non-porous coating.

Temperature Resistance - POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating is temperature resistant up to 450° continuously. Test showed no adhesion lost at 450° F for 10 hours.

Great on Jeep floor

Floor paint always scuffed off to metal. Finally tried POR15, looks the same now as it did eight ago when applied.
Trying something new with it! Lawn tractor mowing deck is bare metal from mowing. Was preparing to coat it with paint and remembered i had some POR15 left. Finished coating the devk and replaced blades. CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE HOW IT HOLDS UP TO SANDBLASTING OF LAWN i next fall!

Good Service

POR15 Cures from atmosphere, air and moisture. Keep the lid on as much as possible,
pour POR15 into a paper cup and put the lid over the can to only allow minimum exposure to atmosphere.
When you are done painting, use a plastic sheet over the can then close with the can top.
PUT the can in a plastic bag and store the can UPSIDE DOWN. Keeping in a tray
would be a good idea in case some of the POR15 leaks out.

Great Results!

I used this on my 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab. I live in New England, so major rust issues. Removed the bed, gas tank, leaf springs, and shocks; Followed the instructions. See the before and after pictures. Amazing results. very happy with the product; next summer I will take the cab off and restore the front of the truck!

Awesome Product

Removed rust from my boat trailer axes and used all three products. Easy to use just follow directions. Drying time depends on weather. I gave my trailer axe two coats. Easy to apply with a brush. Make sure you have adequate ventilation. Tailer looks better than new with a Hard Shinny Coat.

the black topcoat

love how it evens itself out, really nice gloss finish

Metal that is near white rough media blasted provides the best surface for coatings. If not possible, remove all built-up dirt, loose rust, and paint. Note that if you leave old paint behind, the rust preventive can only adhere as strongly as the paint it is applied over. This generally is not as strong as applying to prepped and scuffed-up bare metal. For new metal or smooth surfaces, roughen with 100-180 grit pad/paper.

These products should only be handled when wearing latex gloves, eye protection, and NOSHA approved respirator. Always work in a well-ventilated area.

Step 1. Apply our POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser to a surface, keep wet 10-15 minutes and agitate the surface with a scuff pad or stiff brush to break up oil and grease. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the surface to dry. Repeat if surface is still oily or greasy. It is important Not to allow the product to dry on the surface while working or prior to rinsing with water. POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser can be diluted 4:1 for normal degreasing or up to 10:1 for second round degreasing with warm water. POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser is a heavy duty water soluble cleaner that may be used over metal, wood, fiberglass, vinyl, and concrete.

Step 2. Apply POR-15 Metal Prep to the bare metal surface, keep wet with Metal Prep for 15-25 minutes for normal use and 25-45 minutes for heavy rust and new metal, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the surface to dry completely. Once dry the surface may show a flash rust or white powdery residue this is perfectly normal. POR-15 Metal Prep provides the best surface profile and greatly improves paint adhesion to any type of metal surface for opaque paints and coatings.

Step 3. Wearing gloves, eye/face protection, and a properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator is recommended when applying POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating. Surface must be clean and completely dry. Do Not shake. Mix by stirring until all solids at the bottom of the can are dissolved. Mixing may be done with a drill mixer on slow to medium speed or by hand. It is recommended to apply two thin covering coats of POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating. Three thin coats may be needed for extreme industrial and marine applications. Apply the first coat to the properly prepared substrate with a brush, roller, or HVLP (proper PPE required). Apply the second coat when the first coat is dry but still slightly tacky to the touch. If POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating is applied too heavy, brush marks or bubbles may result in the finish. Do not apply this product if the humidity is above 75%. If the humidity is too high POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating will surface dry too quickly which may result in small bubbles in the finish. POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating requires an UV safe opaque topcoat only if exposed to direct sunlight. Best chemical adhesion to POR-15 Rust Preventive is when it is dry but still tacky (it has a finger drag). If the rust preventive is already completely dried or cured, you must wait 24 hours and gently scuff the surface with a maroon pad or 280-320 grit sandpaper for mechanical adhesion of a second coat or a topcoat.

If your project will be exposed to U.V. light, topcoat it with an opaque POR-15 TopCoat, Engine Enamel, Caliper Paint, Detail Paint, or 2K Urethane industrial topcoat. You can topcoat with most other UV safe opaque paint as well.
