Questions & Answers
I've made use of Por- 15 on a car that is undergoing a lengthy restoration. It's possible to paint over it, but you'll want to make sure you apply your primer while Por- The number 15 is still a tad cheesy. This will make it easier for the primer and paint to adhere. It is UV sensitive, and if exposed to the sun, it will change color. I primarily used it under the car or in areas with little or no UV exposure on my project.
This is por15's top coat. Por 15 has very little UV protection, so if you're painting something that'll be exposed to the sun, you'll need to use a por 15 top coat over it.
On any of the POR-coated surfaces, you should apply a top coat. There are 15 different rust-prevention paints to choose from. As a top coat, you can use any car paint.
I used a spray can to create the effect. I used the gun to paint the undercarriage on my Vanagon, and I only had 1/2 gallon left. One gallon will suffice for your truck if you brush it. Avoid getting it on your skin at all costs! I had to remove it after two weeks. This is incredible.

I've seen instances where this has peeled away in a thin layer, perhaps due to poor preparation? I strongly advise you to buy a few smaller cans. Unless you're painting a fairly large open area, this will begin to harden before you use 1/4 can. Once the can has been opened and re-closed, It's usually on for the duration if it's sealed. If moisture gets inside, it's also very easy to contaminate; you could use plastic wrap to keep it from sealing, but why risk it? Two coats are usually required to prevent rust from reappearing. I can't emphasize enough how crucial surface preparation is for any paint, including POR-based paints. If you're going to spray this, you'll need a respirator. This is something you don't want to inhale. If it gets on your skin, it can be cleaned up with regular paint cleaners if you act quickly. If you wait too long, it will usually take seven to ten days. It will take ten days for the hair to fall out. Last year, while attempting to open a can, I completely destroyed it. I poured the rest into a small plastic jug and set it aside to use later. It had hardened when I opened the container later. Make sure you don't repeat the same error. The smaller cans cost a little more, but if you only use half of one, you'll save money.
This product is more effective than it appears on the label. Around 2004, I replaced the entire rusted floor, bed, and other components of a 1970s bronco. Throughout the years of heavy use, it remained nice and shiny black and rust-free. It was unfortunately destroyed in a house fire on New Year's Eve (it was located next to the house). after removing all debris from the bronco and pressure washing it to see if it can be salvaged I discovered that the por15 coating on the bed had not worn off and that it was now a dull dirty black. The paint on the Broncos has burned off elsewhere, and it is now a rusted hulk, but the parts I coated nearly 15 years ago are still functional. It works pretty well, as evidenced by this true story. It's possible to coat the entire Bronco in it because it sticks to rusted surfaces better. Unfortunately, it sticks to humans even better, so dress in something you don't mind that covers you from head to toe and invest in some good gloves. It makes no difference how cautious or meticulous you are. SOMEWAY, YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOMETHING ON YOU! If you don't cover up, you'll be in trouble! LoL.
I've tried a lot of different brands, and POR 15 is by far the best. br>For the love of God, read the can and follow the directions. Use a real respirator with proper filters if you don't want isocyanides to enter your lungs and harden, causing you to suffocate. br>There is a need for a lot of ventilation. br>Be careful not to get it on your skin or clothes. Getting off is a challenge. br>I buy cheap brushes and then discard them. br>Pour a portion of the mixture into a container and use it. After wiping every last drop of liquid from the can and lid, seal it right away. br>Many users have reported that reopening the can causes it to be destroyed. If you clean it completely before closing it, this will not happen. br>This product adheres to almost any clean surface, but it works best on rusted metal. br>If you think this product is too expensive, compare it to the cost of a quart of automotive top coat. Materials have become more expensive, but buy good stuff and do it once. Best wishes to you.
It was well worth the money. This stuff is effective. One quart was enough to cover my sprinter's entire floor, which is 13 feet long. 5 by 5. I'm 5 feet tall and there's still food on the table. I started by spraying the metal prep and then washing it off. It sticks to rust very well, so make sure any paint that isn't rusted is scuffed up.
Flows smoothly to the end. Nothing can get through once it's been set. 1 quart was enough to cover the entire underside of an 8'x6' truck bed as well as the insides of the wheel tubs, with plenty left over for future projects. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. If you don't use good rubber gloves to apply it, you'll end up with POR- For the next few weeks, I'm going to aim for a score of 15 or higher. Any drips that make their way onto a concrete garage floor become a permanent part of the floor once it has been set. br>br>Advice: If you have any leftover after using it, cover it with a few layers of plastic wrap before putting the lid on. The lid will be permanently attached to the can if this is not done.
This was purchased for my 2008 Jeep Wrangler, which had developed a lot of rust underneath. I didn't think this little can would be enough, but it was more than enough; I only applied one coat (it goes on very thin) and still have more than half of the can left. This is by far the messiest project I've undertaken in a long time; if you're concerned about your driveway, use this in the street instead. If you're concerned about the staining, I recommend wearing a full body suit and a face mask. Because I am a stubborn POS with stained hands, I decided not to wear gloves. I didn't do any prep work at all, and it completely covered the rust. This review will be updated as soon as I can.
