POR 15 paint
I used the Rustoleum Rust Reformer on my 92 F150 oil pan 4 years ago up in Nebraska.Plenty of salt in the Omah aarea. No problems. Sanded off alot of paint & all the blister spots. Wipped everthing down with lacquer thinner. After a few weeks applied some black engine paint.

POR 15 paint
My method is the BEST one of all. I don't even have to get under my truck to do anything about potential rust. When I bought my truck I wanted to be lazy, so I ordered a limited edition anti-maintanance service package. You see, my truck automatically induces an oil leak to coat the pan with a thin film of oil to prevent any rust from ever developing. Have a wonderful Christmas!!

I used the POR-15 on mine. I cleaned / degreased / and sanded the pan, and then followed with a good coat of Extend rust treatment. After giving this 24 hours to cure, I painted the pan with POR-15, fogging on a coat of Engine Primer while it was still tacky, and topcoating with Engine Enamel after it dried. Still looks like new.

You have to prep everything just so to use POR-15. It is apparently great stuff, but I am looking for the quick and dirty slap it on and you are done stuff. When I tried that with POR-15 the rust just came back. I would think you'd have to pull the pan to do it right and then you might as well get a new one. I'd oil it up really good evey oil change and forget it.

I don't know anything about the POR-15 but the paint I used is great, I'm sure it comperable to others but it did everything it advertised.

MustangGT221: I may have to try the paint you used. Was any prep required besides rough removal of loose material? Otherwise I am afraid I am going to slowly lose my truck to Michigan Vehicular Cancer. We have a big, big salt mine under Detroit, so salt is cheap--really cheap--and they use it likewise. Sometimes I will see heaps equal to a 50 lb bag of salt that somehow just dumped off the trucks. When it is snowy around here your truck, which may otherwise be black, will look dirty white with salt.

POR 15 paint
I used POR15 on my '96 oil pan, no more rust. make sure you prep the
pan, sand scrap and remove all oil, crud, etc etc. I put on two coats
per the directions, let each coat sit for a day. Great stuff!

POR 15 paint
I painted two trucks with a gallon of the hirsch auto paint. I didn't do the body at all because it won't stick to bare metal very well w/o primer and preparing it. Since the body wasn't rusted I didn't mind. It will fade a little, but basically I took a wire brush attachment on a buffer and got the big spots on the axles and frame. Got the loose rust off than used an air compressor to blow all the small particles out, hard to do by washing it. It will stick to rust very well, but bare metal or anything poorly repaired it won't stick very well. Prep is everything, so make sure you just follow the directions to a tee and go that extra mile, it'll last longer. Do it right the first time and you don't have to do it a second time. You can spray it if you have a good sprayer too but I prefer the by hand method so you don't get it all over the place.
