Well I'm moving forward with all this good information! Maybe against the flow a little, but I ordered some Rust Bullet. I intend to (after I finish my floor pans and a couple other small patches, new trunk drops just cause) use the RB on the entire interior less dash and doors. Also the entire trunk including the inside quarter panels and everything else I can spray or fling it onto, in those areas. I will wire brush it all and get rid of any oil and grease, which is very little, mainly from seam sealer. My exterior is going to be 100% bare metal either original or a repair panel. I have a drivers quarter skin, pass door bottom 8" panel, and pass rear quarter bottom patch. Thats it for the exterior repair. A few dings I'll dolly out. My exterior will be what I call standard prep. Bare metal, epoxy primer, primer sealer, base coat and clear. Time frame??? Working from the inside out. Engine compartment complete. Thanks to everyone for the reponses. Have not quite got the picture thing down to post some progress but thanks again for the support.

from what i've found por-15 encapsulates rust. no oxygen and moisture, no "more" rust. if I remember correctly the metal ready converts the rust to an black oxide.
if the por15 chips it will no longer protect due to the moisture and oxygen that will be able to attack the metal.
also for the por15 to work you must have complete coverage. any gaps or thin spots and the rust will come back.

When I was using it to do my project I managed to get it on my hands. I didn't wipe it off immediately after and once it dries to your hands you wear it off. lacquer thinner won't even touch it when it dries. Took about two weeks for it to wear off!!

Not only not get it on your hands, you may as well throw the brush away if you use a brush. Neither paint thinner, gasoline or water will get it out. If you put on two coats like the instruction tell you to, then paint, it will give you many years of rust protection where there used to be rust.

Yeah, I brushed mine on because of the overspray problem. I can also imagine what that crap does to your lungs if you breath it.
