my experience reflected that. The stuff is very toxic, so you must use a very good respirator.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

as the touchup rattle spray cans are perfectly matched to the quart cans, and you can get it just about anywhere. POR products might be a little more durable than Rustoleum. If the frame is bare metal, an epoxy primer is a good start, but with POR I "think"
you can skip the primer. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
