I have used POR 15 on everything from my boat keel (fresh water) to an outdoor railing. When you follow the directions and do as Greg says, use an etching primer/liquid, you will have great results. On the outdoor railing I just wire brushed and painted right over the rust (near plants) and (knowingly) did NOT top coat. Even then, exposed to Canadian winters and UV rays, it took ten years for the rust to BEGIN to come through again.

For a topcoat, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS to the letter and you will get great results.
