POR15 vs Smooth surfaces?

[nick_m]

Yeah definitely wear gloves, My glove riped and I got a hole lot on my hands. Took about 3 weeks for the shit to wear off

Random tip of the day: half fill a small tin with metal ready and put all nuts/bolts from car into it and leave for ages (days even) and then you come out with sweet clean nuts/bolts

As said previously, just use metal ready before using the paint and it will stick properly.

also after opeing tin make sure you put a film of gladwrap between the tin and lid when you close it - will stop it forming a skin and going off.

Good call although I did this and it still went off after a while (was quite a while to be fair) next can I bought I transferred over into a jam jar. Seems to seal way better.

Everything KKK said.

It fell off the last new chassis we did like we'd painted over oil.

Loves rough stuff and rust I use it in my floorpans etc its bulletproof.

Better chance of having it stick to sandblasted metal thats been previously weathered that new stuff too.

Oh and its not that hard to get off the skin it doesnt stain it like fucken rust converter just give it a scrub with some meths and scotchbrite. But yeah do wear gloves they're like 5c each.

In the FAQ on the POR15 site it says its fine to use ontop of a clean freshly sandblasted surface.

Ive got a question tho.. If you used POR15 what should you use to paint on top? ( Lets say you are painting the whole shell etc )

The guy down at spray store recomended not using any Urethane or acrylic paints ontop of the POR15 paints

epoxy primer. but why would you paint a whole shell?

So keen to load up the internals of the 180B then tape up and spin on a rotisserie. OT FI.

The por15 pint itself is isocyanate based, like brakekleen, it can be really nasty shit if you overexpose yourself and you can become sensitised to it, you get an asthma type attack, not at all nice.

There is a specific primer/sealer to go over the por15 and allows you to paint whatever you want over the top, the primer covers much like the por15 itself, so coverage is good. The metal ready is brilliant, for the cost i wouldn't consider using por15 without it.

I sprayed some suspension arms with por15, didnt use any of the prep products, and it worked brilliantly.

Have the metal prep stuff for the next job though, so will be interesting to compare.

They recommend using their tiecoat primer over the top of the POR15 before paint.

I used POR15 recently to paint the chassis under my wellside, did the whole system, marine clean, metal ready then POR15.

I wire brushed it to get the old paint off the roughed up with some sandpaper to provide a good surface for the paint.

Did 2 coats and used about 300ml of paint all up
