Did you contact the POR15 folks and ask "what gives"? From what their
catalog says, getting rid of loose rust is all you need to do. Not very
reassuring. But then again as you said, most people mention POR15 in their
email as though there is no question it works and is the paint of choice for
the auto restorer. I guess for now I'll accept your description that you are
the only guy on the planet with a bad POR15 experience. I could think of
worse things to be the only guy on the planet for... :^}

I may the only person on the planet that has had this happen according to
all the email I've seen on POR 15. I sanded down an exposed part on my
Spitfire brushed off the loose rust and applied POR 15 as directed, brown
rust spots started to appear after 2 months. I did not use the METAL READY
which they claim neutralizes the rust, because I thought the POR15 was the
one that prevented the rust. If it is not then the METAL READY must be like
that OSPHO green stuff which you can buy at paint stores for much less and
then paint over.
Any thoughts?
