[Farmall] rust paint for my trailer - Rust Bullet

[E. John Puckett]

That is the reason there are different products.  I have had good 
results with the undercoating, but you have not.  I do not know if it is 
different brands, or there was something in the coatings you used under 
it that kept it from sticking.  I use it on old rough metal, just 
pressure wash, and wire wheel  if loose rust.  I have used POR-15, and 
found it to be good, though not quite as good as the adds say, but then 
I have never seen a product that was as good as advertisements claim.
