My experience with POR 15 has been positive. I use the
Chassis Black, which is semi-gloss and UV resistant. I have used it on small
things and around the battery area, which always rusts from the battery acid.
No rust has come back in 10+ years yet. I also used it on the iron base of a
carb 8 years ago, being careful not to get any on the throttle shaft or
adjustment screws. It has held up there very well against the heat and gasoline.
But I
think the toughest test is in the middle of my driveway. I had new asphalt done
in 1996. I used a small 10 inch removable manhole cover over the water main
shutoff valve. It is real cheap cast iron and I didn’t want a great red spot in
the middle of my driveway. It had a light coat of rust, which I roughly cleaned
with a wire brush, and then painted with 2 coats of POR 15 Chassis Black. After
10 years of Minnesota winters and summer humidity, sand and salt from the snowplows,
being driven over, there is no sign of rust yet.

I did
use their topcoat, a nice blue. Didn't seem to make a difference. And-I
carefully sanded the original paint down to bare metal for good adhesion That
didn't matter either.
Somewhere
I read a printed story on POR 15 that backed up my experience with it. . Wish I
had saved it. Author concluded that it was a seriously over hyped (and priced)
coating that did not deliver as promised-
