If you are already spending that much for POR 15, might as well spend
another 30 bucks. I wonder if Eastwood's Corroless can be painted over rust
like POR advertises?
If you add up the 4 steps, Marine Clean is $17.50 gal, Metal Ready is
$28.75, POR 15 is $88.75, Chassiscoat is $139.00 gal. That's $274.00 for a
gallon of each plus shipping as suggested on the first page of their
catalog.
