AllTorque Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Build Thread Wow, you are really going all out and doing a proper job. It must be strange for you doing actual old school panel beating. Your boss must be a GC, letting you do this at work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matteybean Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey bro looks good ! Just raising my concern with you using por15 in areas you plan on priming and painting . I used por15 in a few places and I sanded the fuck out of it but the primer did not stick and neather did the paint I was lucky it was at the bottom behind my front guards where rot normally sits I'm not expert but I've read others having problems and people taking it back to metal before priming where they previously applied por15 . Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Value Buddy Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 This is super cool. Great to see you getting fully stuck into it. It's like watching a restore on my own car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorensin Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Build Thread Wow, you are really going all out and doing a proper job. It must be strange for you doing actual old school panel beating. Your boss must be a GC, letting you do this at work. It's not that strange I worked at the surgery before my current job and worked at the late classic car restoration in auckland before that. It's more frustrating than crash repair I forgot how slow some of it can be. The whole work thing is a interesting situation which I'll leave off the interwebs but yes it is good.   Hey bro looks good ! Just raising my concern with you using por15 in areas you plan on priming and painting . I used por15 in a few places and I sanded the fuck out of it but the primer did not stick and neather did the paint I was lucky it was at the bottom behind my front guards where rot normally sits I'm not expert but I've read others having problems and people taking it back to metal before priming where they previously applied por15 . Hope this helps   Really, only problem I've heard of people having with POR15 is the product not sticking to the steel(which is usually because the steel is to clean and not scuffed/scratched enough)?  I have used it before and not had issues, I did feather mine out and scuff it all, I guess if it goes wrong it will be an expensive lesson for me :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
