Por-15 I'm wanting to paint my rusty rear end with POR-15, will a pint be enough to do it? Do I just paint right over it, or rough it up with some sand paper? If so, what grit? I also have the factory undercoating all under the car, and its a mess. I have been sanding it down lightly to at least get it pretty even...can I apply POR-15 right over this stuff? Because if I had to strip it all off, that would be a f'in mess!!!
thanks,
mikie

POR 15 will work great to paint the rear end. Go to their web site andread the instructions. You can get a starter kit and it will be plenty for the rear and other odds and ends. Just don;t get any paint on you. It takes forever to wear off and will not wash off.

Do you guys think POR15 would be a good choice to keep mild steel from rusting? I need something to coat hot parts of a turbo kit (mild steel) and I was leaning toward POR15. This would just be to keep it from developing rust and I dont think heat would be an issue... Just curious

I use POR-15 on my calipers and they look great. I did it 2 years ago and it still looks like I just did it. Now I have to get my lazy *** under the car and do the rear end soon.

My friend has used the high-temp POR-15 stuff on the exhaust of his '65 VW Beetle and so far it seems to have held up well, it's only been on there a couple years though, so who knows how much longer it will last
