POR 15

Where can I buy it and do I need to use a Special Primer?

 

Amazon has it. No, Por15 goes directly over rust and forms a rock hard surface.

 

I've used both the paint and the putty with excellent results. The epoxy putty can be formed in many different ways. I had an old 280Z where I used it to build up the wheel lip where it was rusted away. I made up a small poker chip sized wafer, and blended it into the half inch gap. When dry it was extremely strong and could not be told from the metal.

Hi Greg

Thanks I must get some, I've just watched their Video and it looks awesome stuff.

I never knew they did putty but their Rust Proofing stuff looks amazing.

Amazon! I should have guessed they would have it.

 

I'be been doing all my front axle parts and am very happy with the results. Two waffer thin coats is all it needs and it dies quickly.

Technically you can paint straight over rust. It LOOKS best though when you remove the rust first, as it will otherwie bubble up in that area.

Also, parts exposed to UV rays will bleach the paint. So only use it in parts with very little exposure to sunlight.

 

Hi Daim

Your recent Posts are where I got the idea!

 

I used it years ago on my spring pans and they are still as good as when I did them.

You do not need a lot. 250ml tin will do the entire underneath of the car including the subframes. When you use it pour it out of the tin into another container and DO NOT pour that back into the tin or it will set in the tin.

Follow the instructions and you will be fine. If its in the UV you can paint over it with either the POR15 product or other paints.

 

Hi Warrjon

Wow! I didn't know that, I was thinking I'd need gallons of the stuff.

 

That is what I thought but one pint is a nice size to work with. Doesn't cost much either.

 

How much is a pint, where you buy it from?

 

I paid €32.50 for a pint incl. P&P.

I've got to order some more for the rear axle and some matte/flat black for the subframes.

 

Use only throw away brushes, wear gloves, and clothes you don't care about. The stuff is tenacious, and sticks to everything, including skin. It hardens like a rock, and is impossible to remove with solvents. Mercedessourrce on YouTube has a bunch of videos on using the stuff, only they call it Miracle Paint. Basically the same stuff.

 

My 250ml tin cost $60AUD. I had a 500ml tin but lost 3/4 of it, hard as a rock in the tin. I brushed it straight from the tin so DO NOT do this.

I now use a syringe to remove it from the tin into another container and DO NOT put the leftover back. New syringe every time I extract from tin.
