I've used POR quite a bit. Never had any problems thus far. I tend to go overboard fighting the brown stuff. The bottom of my truck was rusted thru and required panel replacements. I "stitched" in the new panels, sand blasted the whole thing and let it rust up just a little, wiped it with a rag and shot it with POR. Once a little tacky I shot it with a coat of primer, Next came a coat of fiberglass and when that cured it got sprayed with bed liner material. The whole bottom of the truck is bedliner as are all the insides of the sheet metal as well as inside the bed itself. The one thing that didn't get bedlinered that probably should have was the frame. That got the POR & paint but for some unknown reason never got bedliner, CRS strikes again, I had a senior moment. LOL Here's a pic of what it looks like now.

Almost 2 years of work, but it was really worth the effort. Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
