Thread: Por-15

Tweet

any of you guys used POR-15? What's your opinion about it? is there anything that's probably better?

haven't used it yet ... But I'll tell you how it goes when I do ....

Weeg is the one that convinced me , maybe he'll chime in when he gets time.
"if I remember correctly" he compared it to a good powder coating ! and said it "flows" on really smooth w/a brush!

I tried using Exstend {spelling?} ( made by Permatex) for the inside of the door skins and on a rusty pedal car , " looks like it worked ! ?" " only time will tell "

there are a bunch of threads about this .....

" but my search keeps taking me to Club Cobra !!! ? !! "
just keep looking around ....

I use it all the time. It does flow smooth with a brush. I had a customer buy some of the glossy black, he was using it on the underside of a 1967 Chrysler. He was doing a body-off resto and had it sand blasted. He sprayed the entire thing with POR15! It was absolutely flawless and it had a mirror finish. The funny part came when he removed the mask he was using, he looked like a raccoon. This stuff will not just wipe off your skin, it has to wear off. But it only takes about 3 weeks.

Oh Well..

Goes on smooth and you can paint over it but you had better paint over it within the first 3 hrs cause if you wait untill the next day, nothing will stick to it.

great product used it on a 55 and 65 jeep cj frame , used to prep, por15 and the flat black . total flatness the frames look new. just follow dir and no problems did bot brush on one and spray on the other.

What in the world do you use to clean up with this stuff? Laquer thinner won't cut it so what will? If you use it in a spray gun you have to have something to clean the gun with. Take it from someone that knows. Use those latex rubber gloves when you use the por-15. Don't use a brush you want to use again. I was fortunate to have my duster hanging so i could stand in front of it and paint. I pitty the guy that has to crawl under a car on a skate board and paint with this stuff. Like it was said before. If you get it on you it will be with you for awhile. I had on black jerseys and it bled through and ....yep.... I'll just have to wear it off. I'll let you know how long that takes. If it stays on the car as well as it stays on my hand it's some real stuff. Looks good on the car belly too.

I use zero rust and I can paint over it at anytime and it stick excellant, the paint is not so dangerous to breath and holds up better according to test done on I believe the sit http://b15.ezboard.com/fpaintucationfrm1. I purchase it locally Ed ke6bnl

I used one of their kits.
The only thing that takes it off is the solvent they sell.
BEware, if you have any paint left over and you live in a cold
zone, don't let it freeze. the pigment sorta coagulates
and is basically wasted.
I used it on my engine rebuild. heads and intake, it should last forever

POR15 is great stuff.....

You must use it in a well ventilated area...seroiusly.
Follow the instructions carefully.
Wear old clothes over every square inch of your ugly body.
(unless you like the speckled look)
Brushing it on over a rusty surface is better than a fully prepped surfaced.

The header paint is a crapshoot...

Jeff

the solvent that comes with the kit or you can buy it separtely will clean paint gun --- i used a very old and very cheap all purpose gun --- on skin well until the skin naturally dies and flakes off you have to live with it

I've used Bill Hursh Miracle Paint in the past. It is still sealing the rust. You wear gloves, a long sleeve shirt, goggles and respirator when using it. Two coats works well. You can spray or brush it on but, it is important that you clean your hands and the gun well after use. It leaves a more semi gloss look to the parts. Bill Hursh also has a great line of quality engine enamels.

deepnhock, I love your truck, and I truly enjoy that picture each time you post it. Makes me chuckle each time.

deepnhock,

Yeap, I agree with Joe, that picture is hilarous.
