I think I went through a gallon when I did my frame back in 96 - two coats.

But...

There are better products out there. I've spent about $300 on POR-15 over the years and never once been happy.

Hmm. Any suggestions as to what they might be? I've used three different products and so far, POR-15 is the best - though I have admittedly been let down occasionally. Please share.

I've heard good things about some products from Eastwood. But I think the truth of the matter is that this is an attempt at a shortcut to eliminate rust - And the best solution is to not take the short cut. Just my opinion.

Need a Spot
ive used the estwood rust encapsulater,por 15 rip off, and after having the frame sand blasted i brushed on the coating thinned a little with thinner and now it has seaped in so well that whenever i need to grind some paint off the frame it actually clogs the wheel a bit. i used multiple coats though. excellent product.

I just got done painting the frame with a product called chassis saver which is very similar to POR-15. It took me about a half a gallon for 2 coats. My frame is an '85 short bed/reg cab. We'll see if this stuff works or not.
Oh yeah, do not shake the can once you've opened it. Trust me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
