This is an old thread, but I see no responses.

I did my entire shop in it, both wood and car side. LOVE it. Two coats took every bit of five gallons. (22×36) Seems immune to anything I spilled on it and is really tough. Not slippery at all. No chips where I have dropped things. Only about a year of use, so can't tell you about really long term. I had new clean concrete, so no etching or anything. I like it enough I plan on doing my garage floor too. Cleans up easy.

My other hobby is little British cars, so I deal with a lot of rust. I switched from POR-15 to Rust Bullet ( same chemistry) because the silver base coat is flat and allows top coat without sanding.

As I mentioned, the big advantage of Rust-Bullet silver as a base coat is it's flat finish so you do not have to sand it before top coat or hit the exact tacky window.

Besides on rusty metal, wood, I use it to saturate fiberglass cloth for non-structural pinhole repairs. Trunk floors for example. I can't tell you how long it holds up as I have not had any indication of failure ever. Far better than poly resin for that kind of thing where welding in new steel is just not really needed. Typical DIY fiberglass patch will get undercut, rust and pop off.
