This is a thin liquid metal prep solution that will leave a finish that resists rust and is ready for paint if you follow the instructions.
Yeah, POR15 works well but the proper procedures/instructions need to be followed. It needs to be started with their "Metal Ready" product that goes on with a spray bottle and does like Jim said. Then a couple of coats of POR15, and then any paint that will be in direct sunlight needs to be top coated.

Morning, all. Snowday! Still don't have the plow truck done and snow-ready so I had to attempt to clear the snow off our driveway with the snowblower.

That worked pretty well until it clogged up with that wet rained on crap "snow"

I say let the rain come down and do whatever but make sure the slushy snowy crap is off so it doesn't freeze into 3" of ice.
