Product Description

A wide range of engine enamels is available from POR-15, including extra-pigment enamels which are both the best and most beautiful enamels available on the market.
An engine can typically be filled with a pint of gasoline.
Paint does not cover as well as enamel, which is another reason it lasts longer. Enamel also flows easily and covers better than any other paint.
The engine enamel is black and pinned

Questions & Answers

Would it be possible to apply using a paint brush?

In short, yes. You can use it for a few days, but then it will no longer work. Brushes that I use are cheap and thrown away after use.

What is the need for priming?

POR-based products are recommended for this product A 15 rust preventative paint can be applied to create a more durable finish, but it is not necessary.

How do I remove the clear coat from this paint? Could you please tell me if you have a high-temperature clear in stock?

It seems to hold up pretty well on my brake drums. I painted them back in April 2016 and they are still looking great. I don't think a clear coat is necessary because it seems to hold up pretty well. There is a thick consistency to the paint, but it glides easily on the wall. It doesn't seem like I used much paint to paint the drums on the rear since I probably used nothing more than a small amount. The paint is expensive, but it is really good. It should help if you read this. Sincerely, thank you

What color is this? Is it glossy or matte ?

Thanks, and yes, it is a glossy black finish.

There is no better engine paint than this
5/5

There are people who love por15 and other people not so much, I have had good and bad luck with it but if I use it the way it was intended, it always comes out well, is consistent in color and viscosity, and pretty much stays up when dry.

The word engine does not refer solely to engines
5/5

It is the best product available. Since a few years ago, we've used it not only for our autos but for other hot places as well. My recommendation for it is strong.

I recommend staying away from this product
3/5

Garbage in its purest form. It goes on way too thickly, making the engine look as if it was dipped in paint. After using a wire wheel and stripper, I removed heavy rust from my engine. First I applied the primer coat and then I applied the engine paint. I used a brush for both. There is a runny orange peel reaction when the application is As an example of the superior finish, consider VHT rattle can.

The toughest enamel on the market Results you can count on
5/5

An enamel this tough is hard to break. It can be difficult to thinning crops properly before spraying. The document states that it is "for professional use only". The spray cans from auto parts stores don't have the same results as engine enamel.

There is a lot of work to be done
3/5

The paint is very thick and can be difficult to brush onto motors since it is SO thick, so you have to be very careful in areas where there is no room to spare, but it does look nice once I would not use it for an engine again.
