Man I agree! It truly is another form of armor!
I might try the spraying of it and see how well I do.Peace and Bacon Grease

The silver POR-15 will turn a greenish hue after time. At least it did years ago when I used it on the Cobra build. I'm not sure if that's been corrected since then but just a heads up.

Elky update
when it hit 50 a couple of weeks ago got to motor around the sub many times and get some time on the new engine and tranny. My first experience with a stall converter, think I love it. 3600 is what it seems to lock at, if thats the right terminology. BBC feels like the most powerfull engine I have ever had, cant wait to get her broke in and wind it up. Although with the gas prices up likely have to wrap up quarters to get some money for gas.
Just completed all new bushings in the rear, KYB shocks and new springs, lucked out on the ride height, its spot on. No more air shocks for me, cant wait to experience the fully new suspension. (front was completed last April, tie rods-ball joints-lowered springs-bushings-gear box-sway bar)
Gotta get my son to get photos in here.
here are some pics!

I have POR 15 for my frame, but I was wondering should I just spray the suspension pieces also or buy some paint for those pieces??'35 Ford coupe- LT1/T56, '32 Ford pickup, 70 GTO convertible, 06 GTO

Jon, that is one gorgeous Elky!!!! All your extra time detailing and taking care of the "little things" has definitely been worthwhile!!!! Congrats on a very well done build!!!!!!
35, POR 15 would of course be more durable on the suspension pieces, just not much color selection.... I either have mine powder coated or use Epoxy Primer and some quality paint on suspension pieces. Probably depends more on "the look" you want....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I agree with Dave, your limited on color when it comes to Por-15. Durable, but on small stuff I have resorted to poweder coating or Imron.
Jon---Elcamino looks great!!. Detail is well noticed.Peace and Bacon Grease

I agree Dave, I worked for Newell coach motor home company and we used it for a long time. I got to use it for 4 years until we switched over to 2 stage BASF. Great stuff!! Downside is if you have a imperfection its back to square one with that panel, or piece. We got good at working it, but having 2 stage is much more forgiving. I painted many parts with IMRON and they still are holding up today!Peace and Bacon Grease

i'm not going for much color on the frame so the black por 15 should do fine depending on the finish. maybe i could spray some chassis black on for more gloss afterward...'35 Ford coupe- LT1/T56, '32 Ford pickup, 70 GTO convertible, 06 GTO

Not too long afterwards.
The green duster lives and is on the road looking good and running strong. All that is left is putting the hood back on.
My El Camino got loaded up and shipped to the shop today so it should be running by the end of the day."Sunshine, a street rod and a winding beautiful Ozarks road is truely Bliss!"
