What is POR-15? It sounds like you are using it for frame and
suspension parts. I am about to "clean up" my TR3A's under carriage.
This may be something I would want to use.
Hi Bill,
POR-15 is a strange paint that really seems to fit the bill for parts of your
car (especially rusty ones) that aren't exposed to direct sun light.
I checked around at several places for the right stuff for my frame. This
paint is made by RESTO MOTIVE Laboratories in Morristown, NJ. They're very
helpful and if you call (800) 457-6715 they'll send their catalog out to you
and you can check it out. Also, their operator was VERY knowlegable about
their products.
Before deciding on POR-15, I also checked out Eastwood (800) 345-1178 and
Bill Hersch (201)642-2404.
I'm real happy with the job POR-15 did (keeping in mind that I only put it on
last saturday - I hope it lasts forever). It seemed like a real cost
effective alternative to sand blasting and powder coating.
You should check out the various companies and make the choice that's right
for you.
Any other opinions from the listers?
good luck,
