I've had a tin of POR15 for years which I use for general painting & touchups where rust is a concern.

It seems to have gone up in price massively over the years - the cheapest I can find a 472ml tin is £36! I'm guessing as it's manufactured in USA.

Can anyone recommend an equally durable alternative available in the UK that is a bit cheaper?

£26.50 here

Still pricey but not £36.

THat's chassis back, a slightly different animal.

They do have basis POR 15 for £30 though.

I'm not sure about alternatives. I love POR and will always use it.
I think the price is justified.

Rustbuster epoxy, it came out No.1 in some tests.
