I put on 2 coats of POR-15. I dont want to see an ounce of rust! I think it came out nice...

Rear has LCA brackets, sway bar brackets, fill & drain holes, 3.25 gears, 3 ch. ABS,...

A few things you should know about POR-15:
1- Wear gloves! If you get it on your skin, its not comming off for a week.
2- Buy a bunch of throw-awway brushes.
3- When you close the lid, if there is any paint on the sealing edge of the can, you will NOT be opening the can again.

Dry to touch in a few hours, & it will feel like rubber. The next day, the finish will be as hard as a rock, kinda like powder coat.

Thanks Bob from EPP!

POR15.
LMAO.
Years ago I painted the leaf springs on my Jeep Wrangler and paid no mind to getting it on my hands. I was covered with that ****. Then I saw the sticker on the lid that clearly states "do not get this on your hands. The only thing that will get it off is time".

How true it was. No chemicals outside of battery acid or a torch will get this **** off your hands. I ended up sanding and scraping what I could to the extent of almost bleeding to death. Soaking in the tub, bubble bath, gasoline, everything I could think of. Took a week for it to finally disappear. How true the sticker was.

I used latex gloves after that.

Let us know how you like POR-15. It looks like a good product. I am now thinking of coating my MWC 9" with this when I get it.

OK. A while back, I tested it on a piece of raw metal. I coated one side with it, & left the other side with nothing. I left it outside in the grass for about a month.
The metal was totally rusted exept where the paint was. I hit it with a hammer & bent the metal & it didnt chip off or peel.
I also put 1 coat on rusted black steel wheels. It was on my moms car. The rust was inbetween the hub cap spokes. That was about a year ago, & the rust didnt come back.
If what your painting is gonna be exposed to sunlight, you need to put a top coat of some other paint.

The most important question. Can u get it in RED

forget about opening the lid if your not using it all...if you poke holes in the can, you can seal them up easily with a few pieces of tape.

Thanks. I just googled por-15 & orderd a 6-pack of 4 oz. cans from a web site. Cost me $50. but it was worth it. I still have alot left.

I painted the one in my Formula red about 9 years ago.

Interestingly enough, I just bought the rearend from the guy I sold the Formy too, and I was wondering if I should paint it black... hehe..

Fixed!

We actually sprayed it in a paint booth.

I've used POR 15 before, it dries streaky but looks great the next day.

I used a wire bristle brush/scraper & brake cleaner.
