The name of it is actually Rust Stop, a buddy of mine works for a nearby city and he was using it to paint flagpoles and all that kind of crap that you find in cities that periodically need repainted, the stuff seems to hold really nice it is an enamel paint. You can get it from Ace Hardware and it runs about $20 a gallon, much cheaper than POR15, like I said though I figured I would try it on my daily beater and the 69 seeing as how both I don't care if the stuff don't work, just thought I would try it. Although like I have said it has held for the past few months with me driving my truck everywhere, gravels and such seem not to bother it, I have the whole rear section painted of the frame all around so whatever gets hit I can see the damage, delightfully no chips or nothing.
