Rust Repair



They have more colors then just black.

If I remeber right, they sell a flat black, semi-gloss
black, gloss black, silver (which is more then just
paint- see below), red, blue, etc.

Their silver is the best (and I mean BEST) for bad
rust damage as it has little metal fillings in with
the paint, so not only is it scratch resistant, but
also helps fill in rust damage.

One of the other nice car lists out there (EEK), which
deals in FWD Mopars of the 80's-90's era (includes
90's Imperials...) has a few people on the list who
were using the differnt colors to make their
underbodies look detailed and more "aftermarket".

Since my car is rust free right now, I'm not willing
to spend the $$ for POR, but if/when it needs it, I
plan on making the frame and suspension blue, gloss
black underbody, and with red trim/detailing for the
entire underbody and engine bay area.

But one thing to keep in mind is that the damage POR
products are designed to fix are the truely damaged
parts shown in their ads. A part with just a few specs
of rust would not be as good of a POR repair target,
comparied to, say their rusty metal battery tray that
they advertise which was covered with surface rust.

Personally, I'm more interested in a preventive
measure then a clean up measure like POR, as I don't
have any rust which I can locate presently.

Right now I'm toying with the idea of rubber
undercoating, with possibly plastic "covers" for metal
parts. I figure a plastic sheet of pre-formed, thick
cover over a metal area would prevent rust by keeping
water, salt, and dings from incountering the metal...
or something along those lines.
