Comparison: Craftsman vs. POR-15
Unlike POR-15, which requires specific surface preparation and often a topcoat, Craftsman's DTM coating simplifies the process with direct-to-metal application and no primer or topcoat needed. It is more cost-effective per gallon and available in a ready-to-use black semi-gloss that resists UV fading better than many POR-15 products.
