Both products can come as paint or as a spray. Both save your car from rust and primer it for a fresh coat of paint. While there are several similarities between these two products, it’s the differences that make them stand out.

Once you’ve coated your rusty metal car with POR-15 or Rustoleum, you can safely put car paint over it. Both are watertight and won’t allow water, salt, or other damaging products to hit the metal. The actual anti-rusting material coats the bottom and sides of the metal and protects it from the formation of rust.

Instead of a singular anti-rust spray, POR-15 has a several-step process meant to completely coat the underside of a car or truck and permanently prevent rust.
