If you can read and comprehend what you read, he is asking about Bill
Hirsh Miracle Paint.
and not POR 15.
We on the list learn alot from each other. Yes Miracle paint and POR
work in the same fashion but are not the same nor are they manufactured
by the same company.
I can read directions, and have been doing frame off restorations for
better that 30 years. I think I can comment and provide my view on the
product.
The POR jobs I have seen have turned out much better than my experience
with miracle paint. I picked up some of Bill Hirsh's products at last
years Hershey Pa. meet and one of Bill's immediate staff or it was Bill
himself said it would stick to a scuffed primer surface.
I do have another quart and some exhaust paint and will try them both.
I also generally restore vehicles as drivers and not show only vehicles.
I only painted one frame without sandblasting and really didn't like the
outcome.
Miracle Paint is runny drippy stuff. If you can't live with that hit the
delete button!!!!
