Well that kinda sucks. Good site though.Por 15 needs rust to work. its a chemical reaction with the iron oxide (rust) that turns into the coating. it doesn't work on clean/non rusted steel.
see Eastwood.com for details on rust products.
Is that the POR-15 Black Rust Paint? Did you use the POR-15 Black Topcoat?I used POR15 on my frame and suspension parts. Worked great.
I did wire wheel all of it though. Got rid of all the rust scale.
Yes it's POR15 rust preventitive semi gloss. I didn't use the topcoat.Is that the POR-15 Black Rust Paint? Did you use the POR-15 Black Topcoat?
This is not completely true. I did a ground up restoration on my fathers 1958 MGA 20 years ago and used POR15 on a clean frame with no rot or rust. It has not failed... and this is by no means a trailer queen. He drives the damn thing all over the place.Por 15 needs rust to work. its a chemical reaction with the iron oxide (rust) that turns into the coating. it doesn't work on clean/non rusted steel.

Good to know. Thanks, AR! May I ask which POR-15 product you used? They have a bunch.This is not completely true.

Hey, bobbywalter.this is a depends...
...in rustville here if its full scale, like ya know.. scale...that will remain pitted if you hit it with a needle gun or wire wheels thats not something worth por 15.
...i have seen too many guys use por 15 when they should have disassembled the frame and wire wheeled or blasted it first and end up folding the frames pulling or running hard on the trail.
pulling all the rivots is a giant pia, but if a guy does that and then uses a por 15 and re-assembles...that chassis will be around longer then most people.
rust never sleeps.
