POR-15 is most remarkable product that I have ever used. I live right on the
edge of the Gulf of Mexico and sea air is everywhere. It does kill and cover
all rust except loose scale. I have a 1984 GMC van that sets outside all the
time. sometime around 1987 it developed a small pin hole just below the
sealing strip on the rear window. As I had just received a sample of POR-15 I
used my pocket knife to scrape away the loose rust. I then dipped my finger in
the POR-15 and daubed the product on the 1/8" hole and the hole was covered.
As of today the hole is still covered and no further rust is showing. The big
problem with POR-15 is that is activated by moisture and will harden in the
can if not full to the brim. I was advised to use marbles added to the can to
keep it to the upper lip. A word of warning. DO NOT LEAVE ANY por-15 AT ALL IN
THE LIP WHEN REPLACING THE LID. YOU WILL NOT GET THE LID OFF. It is extremely
durable and resists most bumps and bruises.

Subject: Chassis paint?
Hi Listers,
Has anyone had experience with the paint product "Por 15"?
www.por15.com/product.asp?productid=6
www.por15.com
Basically, I'm wondering if it's worth while using this product if I'm going
to sandblast the chassis. The website leads me to believe that the paint is
for rusty metal coverage. The paint is expensive along with the prep
materials
required. What did impress me was the fact that they produce it in a semi
gloss, which I prefer for the chassis. As a matter of interest, I use their
product
"Manifold Gray" brushable and easy to touch up. Works a treat.
I'm not interested in powder coating for the chassis so, that's not an
issue.
Any other products or ideas or suggestions for painting directly after
sandblasting?
Brian Kelly.
