Finding some of these products are kinda tricky here in Canada I'm finding with out paying a arm and a leg. Evaporust and por 15 products is what I found on Saturday.

I got some time tomorrow and see what the body shops have.

So far I'm kinda at a toss up on the por 15 and Eastwood products. Por 15 is pretty cheap around here.

My 2c worth.
Ive done my C20 frame in por15, did tge 3 step process, and im very happy with the results. While I was swinging hammers to drive out a bolt or 2, I missed the drift and hit the frame paint! Looking at the spot I hit, the paint didnt even chip.
I thing to remember. The 3 step process is really a 4 step process, because if you want that lovely black pro15 to stay shiney, you need to use their UV stable top coat, as the straight rust preventative pro15 is not UV stable and will chalk over time. But if its a frame off job, the hard work has been done, and its just another coat to paint on.

Well, I’ll stand by a good coat of paint is at the top of the list stopping rust. And Rustoleum spray bomb was pretty high on the list. Better paint would have probably done even better.
And now I’m glad I used the Eastwood stuff inside the windshield frame. Appears it’s also good stuff.
