You can buy POR-15 direct from the manufacturer at this site:

POR-15 has a good reputation here but it is designed to be used on rusted surfaces, if you paint it over existing coatings it will seal from above but can't bind to the metal below, so there's still a risk of bubbling and rusting. If you are looking for protection over appearance, brush painting is better than spraying because you'll build a thicker layer of coating with a brush. POR and related products can be mailordered from at least one of the Jeep-specific parts catalogues (I think it is in the 4WD Hardware one). POR is expensive and has a short shelf-life once opened, I recommend buying less than you think you need and then reordering just enough to finish the job.
