I bet you could paint the underside of your car with $50 to $60 worth of POR-15. Bedliner unless you get the do-it-yourself kind will probably be a lot more expensive than that. Rubberized undercoating is probably worse than nothing at all, as it traps moisture against the paint. do-it-yourself bedliner is probably about the same, maybe just a bit more durable.
Rustolium might work too, but keep an eye on it over time. (as with anything) POR-15 is probably your best bet aside from original paint. -Tony |

Here is a place I got some POR-15 from. You might check out their prices. They will tell you how much it will cover.

there is a product called Zero-Rust that is much easier to work with than POR-15 and looks better too.

rust free you say ? Group: Members Posts: 16,375 Joined: 7-January 05 From: richmond, Va. Member No.: 3,419 Region Association: None |
bed liner is more expensive than Por 15 but will give the best resuls as far as rust prevention.HOWEVER you really should clean and paint with POR before putting on bedliner,otherwise you will be covering rust with bedliner and not doing any good. Rustoleum and undercoating do not mix well. I applied that combo giving the rustoleum DAYS to dry, and when applying the undercoat, it ate the rustoleum and neither would adhere.

what ever you put on you should clean what is on there off or it wont stick. Ive used a bunch of rock chip guard in some spots ive fixed and then put undercoating over that. I also por 15'd some spots and painted over it and undercoat in spots.

Por15 makes a hardnose paint that they claim is tough and cleans good.

I've used Rust Bullet with great results. IIRC it was a little less expensive then POR15 and the specs were just as good.
My best, Mike D. ...There I contributed something useful today! |

I second the RustBullet, it's not cheap, but applies much easier than POR 15, and it saves you money, you don't have to buy beer, you'll have a nice buzz after painting with it. Oh, take serious precautions to prevent getting on your skin, it will not come off. I got some on my face (don't ask) and had to use a scotchbright pad to remove the skin the paint was attached to. Talk about exfoliating!

Where would one find info on zero rust? Do you by it direct like por-15. My teener is just about clean to the metal on the bottom waiting for the por 15 but open to suggestions.
