I painted my (modified) chassis early last year, been sitting outside, still cutting and grinding the body. No problems, no complaints. I highly recommend it.

it's like POR-15, only cheaper, easier to use and works better Idea I sprayed my chassis through a gun as is, no thinner needed nor recommended.

Yeah, I painted my floor pans 2 weeks ago and I still have some on my thumbnail. It took a week and some scrubbing to get it off my hands.

I did my pan, trunk, engine compartment, firewall and inside of my doors with Rustbullet.

I had ordered 1.5 quarts and just went a little nuts with it Laughing

However it goes on as easy as house paint with minimal prep. Its awesome stuff and well worth every penny...bonus is that it takes a lot less pennies then the other stuff Wink

Just did a complete pan with rustbullet. Went on easy only prep I did was
degreasing of the pan and wiping it down with acetone. also did bottoms
of heat channels, under side of engine compartment. Good stuff and
costs alot less than por15

I did the entire pan on my baja bug. Went on easy and quite smooth even with a brush. I got the type with the metal in it and it filled in some pin holes and some divots nicely.

I recommend it to everyone who asks. Nice people on the phone as well.
