How to prevent rust? Best Undercoating?

[Guest]

I don't have the money to do a frame off restore as my 74 deserves, so I'm thinking of using some type of spray or paint on rust/sound proofer like Rhinoliner or Linex on the undercarriage of my Bronco. Has anyone had any experience or done this before. I figure I'll do a section at a time by cleaning and sanding thoroughly, then applying some type of coating. I'm hoping to get rust proofing, some sound proofing, and a neat look out of the deal. Any ideas?

Ia POR15 something I can do pretty easily or better left to a professional? Have never applied anything other than paint to walls!

if you can paint walls you can use por 15, just follow the directions, and it should be fine

Have been trying to stop Broncos from rusting for 30 years. Current procedure is to grind or sand blast to clean metal. Prime with Dupont Variprime self etching primer than paint with Imron. Alternatively, have had good luck with Rust-Oleum rusty metal primer and their paint. Undercoat and spray inside tailgate and doors with Fluid Film corrosion resistant spray oil. Have never had any long term (> 3 years) success with POR. Get a kick out of the "rust experts" that have never lived in the rust belt.

vtdon,
I have experience with por 15 here in the Northeast where salt is king from Nov-Feb. It does work if you use it right. Grind down the rust use the metal ready with 2 thin coats. Then 2 thin coats of por15. Sand prime and paint. My friend an I did a Firebird when we were 18 still no rust where we used it. I'm 40 now. The rest of the car is rusted out. A different buddy used it with bad results. Minimun sanding to rustand no metal ready. Lasted about a year.

I just bought a starter kit--my first POR product. It says "apply right on rust." Guess I shouldn't follow the directions.

That all depends on how you want it to look. POR15 is designed to be just paintedover rust but, your final product will look like you just painted over rust. If you want a better finish take it down to bare metal then paint.
