Anybody have any experience with this product? RustBullet

I've heard mixed reviews on POR-15 and it requires a topcoat. I was think of using this over a strong but surface rusted TR3 chassis. They claim it stops rust. I'm skeptical. Anyone have any comments on this product?
 
I have used it on two of my LBC restorations and it works as well as advertised. When you have put on the second coat this stuff is hard as a rock. When I shot it thru a gun instead of using a brush, it left a smooth silver almost metallic finish that can be topcoated or left to the elements. I have a spare door latch that I had coated with rust bullet that has been outside for 3 years, usually under leaves or dirt, that has not started to rust and can be cleaned off and still looks good.

All in all some pretty good stuff but if you get it on your skin it will take awhile to wear off.

here is a shot of rustbullet on the floors, where it was brushed on.

I'm glad you've had good luck with Rust Bullet. I've only used POR-15 and Eastwood's Rust-Encapsulator. My friend Jon was quite focused on finding out which of these products work best. He went so far as to produce a side-by-side test. You can read his report (with pictures) at:
