I used POR 15 on my old frame, which I sold to a lister. It does not
convert rust - you use a rust conveter first, then POR15. I was really
impressed with how strong / tough it was, and how all of my brush strokes
melted away leaving a glossy finish.
The selling point, I think, is that it is hardened by water not softened
like regular paint. Since water is required to create rust they feel it
makes them superior.
