Door seam corrosion protection

I'm having problems trying to keep the door seams from rusting. I going to go with this Magnet Paints Chassis Saver, which is suppose to be even better then por 15. Anybody try it?

Down side is you need to let it dry 3 days, and in sunlight, it will eventually fade from black to grey if a final coat of paint isn't applied.




CHASSIS SAVER™ is a high solids, VOC compliant, single component chassis paint and underbody coating specially formulated to permanently stop automotive and truck corrosion without the use of primers or topcoats. Chassis Saver’s unique "RUST STOPPING" properties permit its application directly over tightly adhered rust after only marginal surface preparation using a wire brush and/or hand scraper to remove loose scale and rust particulate. Optimum results can be achieved by sandblasting a medium blast profile to surfaces. Chassis Saver bonds to blasted and rusty metal to form a rock hard yet flexible, glaze-like, non-porous finish that won’t crack, chip, flake or peel. It works by isolating metal from oxygen and moisture, and without these factors present... RUST STOPS – Dead in its tracks! Chassis Saver cures by reacting with atmospheric moisture and its cured film resembles that of a catalyzed finish yet no hardeners or activators are used. Chassis Saver is completely unaffected by road salt, gasoline, diesel fuel, oils, battery acids, hydraulic fluids, solvents, chemicals, or corrosives.

CHASSIS SAVER™ has proven itself over 10 years under the harshest conditions – More than 350 townships, public works departments and local DOT fleet maintenance facilities use CHASSIS SAVER for protection of snow and ice removal equipment, highway, off road and general vehicle maintenance.

I have wondered if I pour the POR15 inside the door into the seam if it would help. I think if it was just brushed onto the outside seam it would rust from the inside out.

the sun can cause it to fade after it's cured.

Looks like por15 has a way better drying time. 6 hours opposed to 48.

The back doors on my Screw were rusting out at the bottom of the door I used Rust Bullet and so far it has kept the rust from coming back. Picked it up a Summit Racing after the Tech staff at Summit and the local Eastwood shop recommended it.
