Curator's pick: POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating
It’s the only stuff that actually survives road salt and vibration long-term, but you have to ignore the 'paint over rust' marketing; if you don't prep the metal with a proper degreaser and etch first, it will peel off in one giant sheet within a year.
⚠ Worth knowing: The rubberized undercoating should never be applied directly over active rust or non-cured welds, as it traps moisture against the metal and accelerates rot from the inside out. Always finish your POR-15 or epoxy primer coats and let them fully gas out before sealing them with a topcoat.
