POR-15 Or Rust Bullet?

Hoping someone has exp. with either of these 2 products.

http://www.rustbullet.com/
http://www.por15.com/

They are both the same idea really with some minor differences. Main one being that POR-15 isn't UV restant without a top coat, while Rust Bullet doesn't need this top coat.

Anyone got some info on either?

I've heard people have had better results with Rust Bullet. POR-15 is more popular because they were putting quite a bit of effort into advertising for a while.

I did my whole frame in October with another product called MasterSeries. It's awesome soo far and really tough stuff. I haven't had it on there long enough to comment on whether or not it's going to stand the test of time, but it surely lasts at least 10x as long as Rustoleums crappy products do.

If you care.. here is a link to my writeup on TTORA where I posted pics and some description on how I did it:

I did the whole frame on my '01 Taco with another product called MasterSeries Paints. It worked awesome soo far and has stood up to really heavy salt without rusting or chipping at all. I haven't had it on there long enough to say how well it stands vs the test of time.. only about 4 or 5 months. But seeing that I did the whole frame in the summer with Rustoleum and it started rusting after a month of no salt, I'd say the fact that the new paint has been on for 4 months of solid salt exposure is a great sign.

I know people who have used both POR-15 and Rust-Bullet, and most of them like the Rust-Bullet better. Supposedly POR-15 is big on the marketing which made their name a lot more popular than perhaps the quality of their product should warrant.

Here's a link to a writeup on how I did my truck with MasterSeries last October(pictures and a detailed How-To description):

Here is a link to one of the sites that sells MasterSeries too. It's worth considering this product too if you're considering Rust-Bullet and POR-15:

I just painted my whole frame with por-15 and i am very happy so far. This stuff is nasty and doesn't come off your skin very easy. good luck.
