I have the bubbling paint issue at the bottom of all four doors and want to get in there this summer and see what I can do to stop the advancing rust monster.

I read on the forum that removing the door panels and painting the inside of the door with POR-15 would work. POR-15 appears to only be available on-line and that leaves a few questions:

1. Is POR-15 only available on-line?
2. Has anyone used POR-15 and can give a review?
3. Has anyone used an alternative product that they are satisfied with?


Probably would be a good time to replace the door speakers and add sound deadening mats while I'm at it....

I used POR-15 on a previous Suburban I had and it stopped the rust for about 3 years, when I reapplied it again. I'm going to do the door edges on my 2002 Suburban this year. It's great stuff. I have tried rust converters in the past and have not had much luck with them.

It is available locally in a lot of places. E-mail them and they will give you a list of places in your area (if there are any).

Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator works better, several old car mags have tested them.

I've personally used both and prefer the eastwood version. Hit their site, they have tons of products that work awesome.

They recommend cleaning the loose scale, then using their rust converter, then rust encapsulator and then a top coat. The eastwood product is UV resistant unlike the POR-15 so top coating isn't really necessary.

Not to mention the Eastwood product is cheaper.
