Well, if you are doing the painting, you would be able to apply POR-15 to
the bare metal and then spray in the body colour while the paint is still
tacky. Check out their site at www.por15.com

Like I said before, you cannot wait for it to dry completely...you will
NEVER be able to sand it to take the final coat!

Cheers
