Por 15

[Mr. Pink]

Just got done using POR 15 for the first time and I'll tell ya this is some nice stuff. I just coated a set of upper rear control arms and now I shouldn't have to worry about them rusting up on me.

This stuff was easy to use and dried/set-up pretty nice. Recommend it for those considering it. A good alternative to powder coating.

Yeah....I'm painting the 8.8 today too. See Mike, you inspire people!

Next time you're ever in the area, you can paint my 8.8 too!

At least he didn't say paint his rearend....

U-betcha!

POR 15 is pretty good stuff, I use it on alotta stuff. my suspension components usually get the POR15 treatment and then i paint over it with whatever color I want. (ie: cast-blast color for my a-arms. )

But a few words of advice to ya.

Obviously you wont have issues with the parts your painting, but dont use the regular stuff for anything that sits in the sun-light ( get the UV resistant stuff for that. )

Just as the can says, get rid of the "loose" rust, then paint. I bead-blasted some stuff a while back and then used POR 15...it flaked/pealed off later.

And of course the obvious...dont get it on your skin.

Yeah - no worries there.

Well, fortunatly the arms and 8.8 were in great shape and didn't need a lot of prep work.

And of course the obvious...dont get it on your skin.

Too late! My right forarm is protected from rusting up on me.....

I find bead blasting then spray with watter and wait a few days then paint. So far the best surface to stick to is corrosion??
