Re: How Much Por15 I'd recommend getting the 6-pack of smaller cans of the POR-15, instead of the larger quart can. After opening, if not sealed TIGHT, the POR-15 can dry out and becomes rock hard. With the 6-pack you will not waste any of the POR-15.
Re: How Much Por15 The smaller cans is a GREAT suggestion! One PINT the ITY BITY can painted the entire rear axle, front spindles, rotor edges and hats, the ENTIRE y-pipe and intermediate pipe ALL with TWO coats.
So yes a little goes a long way!

Re: How Much Por15 From the por store...
4 oz.covers @ 12 sq. ft.
Pint covers @ 50 sq. ft.
Quart covers @ 96 sq. ft.
It does go a long way. One pint should be plenty. Make sure the axle is clean of any oily residue from diff fluid. Por15 won't stick well to those areas so use a lot of the Marine Clean on those areas.
FYI...Place a piece of plastic wrap over the mouth of the paint can and put the cover on over top of it for a good seal. It also makes it easier to take the cover off again when needed.

pour what you need into another container and then reseal the unused container (just like brian said) and also, this is gonna sound funny, but put the resealed container in the refrigerator until you want to use more (this is exactly what www.porstore.com told me).
I have had a resealed can of it in my garage fridge for over a year, and just pulled it out the other day and painted a buddies 1969 chevelle ss frame with it and it was just as good as when i first bought it!

Verdad Gallardo Re: How Much Por15 Wow, thanks guys for all off the info. I am going to order some ASAP. I hate that rust color on my car.
- BIGBOS we are talking about painting it ON the car. You just mask off what you don't want Por15 on, put some gloves on and brush it on to your rear end. It will come out to a smooth gloss black finish. I have seen it on other applications and it looks good.
Thanks again guys for all of the responses I really appreciate it.

Re: How Much Por15 Yea, I've seen it done on older cars before, this is something I'll probably do in the summer when I got nothing else better to do....how long does the POR 15 have to sit for, 24hrs?
