Dan,
The metal treat works so well, I'm buying a gallon more to use for other
metal painting. It's not completely necessary but it does great cleaning the
rust up and gives you a good surface to work with. The same exact product is
available from other manufacturers (Eastwood is one)
Notes on por15
It goes a long way, the quart comes in 4oz containers. this covered a good
portion of my truck's frame, the frame in the roadster's engine compartment,
suspension parts and I still have 1, 4oz can left. I wasted about 4oz by not
having tightened the caps a couple of times. (hint close it up tight!)
Use 3/4 inch foam brushes and throw them away when done. they're .65 each at
your local hardware store. I bought 20 of them.
USE GLOVES!!!! You DO NOT want this stuff on your skin. It comes off only
with time (about a week!)
Prep the surface. wire brush of as much rust as possible. Clean all oils and
grease with strong soapy water. Then use the metal prep.
Do not try to brush over once painted. This really screws it up. One stroke
only! repaint only after it has dried.

Hello ALl,
I will be doing some cleaning up on the underside of my car and I was
wondering how much will a quart of POR-15 cover?? I am planning on doing the
rear diff-leafsprings-wheel wells, the engine bay and the block.. Is this
going to be enough??
Is it absolutely needed to use the POR-15 pre treatment on rusty metal?
Thanks,
Daniel 69 2000
