For painting frames and parts I've been using Hammerite Rust Cap in a
rattle can. It comes in original "hammered finish" which is good for
original heater boxes, or the "smooth finish" for frames, etc. Like
POR-15 it can be used right over rust without primer. It contains glass
flakes and dries to a non porous finish sealing out moisture. I'm sold
on the stuff, 5 years ago I painted a rusty pole in my yard (in rainy
Seattle) with it and it still looks like the day it was painted. It's
also great on master cylinders since brake fluid doesn't even phase it.
It too has the funny smelling xylene solvent base like POR-15. I
wouldn't even doubt if it's the same stuff, with a different name and a
cheaper price.
