Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a good equivalent to POR 15 black paint that is a little cheaper. There’s a few out there that I’ve found but I want some insight from people that have actually used them.
Thanks everyone!

I've used Tamco MonoCoat with good success before.

What are you looking at coating?

Magnet paints chassis saver. But my true belief is the acid wash is the magic,not the topcoat,I wash with a water based cleaner( same as por 15 marine clean) I wash with phosphoric acid,I use Ospho,( same as por15 marine clean) I top with whatever I want. The phosphoric acid stopped the rust,( or you can top coat with por15. Do some research on phosphoric acid as metal prep. I believe Por15 took an old 3 step system and relabeled it as new magic,look at this new magic paint,don't look at the science, the metal prep and what's really happening.
