    That por15 stuff will slow the the rust, but not remove it. for permanent solution you should grind all the rust off, but usually the sheet metal will come extremely thin if you ground all the rust away, sand blasting will remove it easily, and will not eat so much of the metal.

    I had deep corrosion and two holes on my right rocker,so I decided to replace the whole panel.



    The left side isn't that bad, but I'll be replacing it anyways, since the car is allready stripped, it not that much of a deal.

      Yeah, don't worry I planned on sanding down as much as I can to get rid of the rust.

      How much was a new rocker panel?

        It was between 20 and 30 euros, it's european aftermarket part, not oem.
