I have read here on Mud that you can use P.O.R.-15 for there vehicles. Do I have to do anything special before I use it on my frame. I have just surface rust on my frame. Can I use it on body parts too? I have a couple of perforated areas and if I use it will it stop the rust and I can paint over it? Thanks
 
Try an advanced search within the paint section. I think you should be okay using it on both, but the prep is the key to any anti-rust paint working well.
 
They have very good instructions on the POR-15 website. You use there products and it's all good.

I literally used POR-15 on my entire truck on all panels. I sandblasted with glass and painted with POR. Then did all the top coats. The frame is the worst to paint, as your lying under there getting dripped on. UUUGH
 
You may want to look into Eastwood Rust Encapsulator as well. I have used that with good results and heard good things from others as well.
 
I started out using POR-15. It will stick great to rusted metal but does not hold on to previously painted stuff. Now, I am using Rust Bullet. Much more user friendly. Perhaps in the long run I will regret it, but for now, it seems that Rust Bullet sticks to bare or rusted metal just as well as POR-15 and it certainly sticks to scuffed paint better. What I hated about POR 15 was the 3-step process (etch, cleaner, and paint). Both are expensive. One other good thing about Rust Bullet is that they sell a "six shooter" which is a package of 6 little cans. Great for dealing with multiple little jobs.
 
POR-15 has a six small can deal as well. I like it and have used it in the past as well as now. The only thing I wish was that it was available in rattle cans to avoid the mess when painting the frame.
