I've been using this stuff for 20 YEARS. I'm kind of a bed beg about paint and prep, but the easiest, no hassel way I have found to use this stuff is to never take the lid off. Punch a small hole in the top of the can. Tip the can and catch the leak with the brush, apply. When finished, screw a tapered body bolt into the hole, flip the can to seal the threads. I have tried breaking down into small containers, & the saran wrap lid trick. Both will result in a hardened shell of dried paint if stored for too long once opened. I recently tried a can off the shelf that is at least 2yrs old with the bolt in the lid. Paint is still good, I tried pealing it off after a couple months. This method is super easy, and often I find applications where I only need to use just a little bit while I am working under my car on something.

Discovering POR-15 ten years ago, it has been the only technique capable of maintaining my car indefinitely. My daily driver is 21 years old, and it gets the treatment every second year, before MOT. Not that I need to redo anything I did two years earlier, but one year I do the sills, next time the trailing arms, etc. and this car for the first time in 40 years messing with cars, do not progressively get more rusty every year! And it is a 90's Fiat notoriously known to be a rust magnet!

Thanks for the video tips! I'm redoing the back half of the frame and suspension on my 1985 GMC K1500. I'm using the 3 steps on the frame and bracketry, finishing with the black POR15. Other parts, I'm using the cleaner/degreaser, and the metal prep, but I'm only finishing it with a rattle can because I know I'll be replacing these parts in the next 5-10 years, or they're easily unbolted and accessible to redo them if they need it.

I usually just paint over the rust! Period! Yes, knock off the flakey stuff! The “prep” really is important with unseasoned metal. New metal has little texture to bond to and often has a film of oil on it to prevent rusting. The prep will degrease and etch the metal for your paint job. Rusty metal is easier 🤣 Hope that helps!

@HazardSports

7 жыл бұрын

+ursixx I never tried the spray can but one thing I would caution you about would be to take you time masking and taping because overspray will be a nightmare to deal with. This car spent most of its time at the shoreline of the east coast (NY/NJ) and the salt "in the air" as well as humidity are both known to reek havoc in the form of rust and corrosion. The areas of the rear axel that I painted back in 2006 remained rust and corrosion free without putting any more paint until this year (to cover the entire axel). Good luck with your 94!

Love the video man! Short and to the point with no mucking about. Quick question for you though, when I do the POR15 Top Coat, how would I go about that? Should I scuff the surface, apply some sort of adhesion promoter, or just spray top coat directly? I'm dubious about scuffing the paint cause I'm doing the undercoating of my 63 Thunderbird and want to make sure I have as much material underneath protecting the body. I read some places that you can spray directly on, and other people say you gotta have a promoter coat. But if I don't need it, then I don't want to spend the extra money. If you have any insight, that would be awesome. Thanks!

@HazardSports

3 жыл бұрын

Any time I used a top coat I would apply it when the base paint was still tacky. Now POR-15 has a “top coat” paint that is DTM (Direct To Metal). I never used it before. And since I have had success with the original POR-15 I get a little shy on trying something new. If it completely dries then scuffing it lightly is what I would do. But I would call POR-15 and ask them directly. Any time I had to call them they were very helpful. If you find out something else please come back and share! Thank you and good luck!

On the places that do get sun, did you wait till it got tacky and then applied a top coat or did you wait till it was fully dried and sand it down. Going to paint someone thing on my 94 Bronco, wanted to know the best way to apply the top coat. First time using por 15,

You’re supposed to do it when its tacky. I didn’t even top coat because this car isn’t exactly a show piece! But you’re 100% right - areas exposed to the sun need a top coat!!!

bought a 1976 c10 short bed stepside its the first one ive found with no frame rot or body rot going to use this stuff very liberally not going to care about the cost as long as it saves my truck!

Take your time and enjoy! Don’t do like me and rush! But everyone I know with a race car is always in a rush getting things done before an event! Your ‘76 C10 deserves better treatment than a race car 🤣

Can you paint this stuff over old paint? Or does it have to be down to bare metal? I’m restoring a 92 civic hatchback and I’ve dealt with por 15 before and it’s great stuff! But that was 20 years ago almost. Thanks for the video btw

Thats a good question and I don’t see the answer in their website. But I do know that they are very friendly and helpful over the phone. I would call them at 1-800-457-6715 or tel:+1-973-887-1999.. I know that I have painted over paint but thats after prepping, and it was never over anything that was a “show piece” and had to be perfect. As long as it stopped the rust I didn’t pay much attention to appearance! So it would be interesting what they tell you. Please let us all know what they tell you!

I am planning to treat some of my trunk that took on water. I'd like to paint with the factory color to fully restore it. Is it possible to paint over the POR15 paint with factory paint? Or am I stuck trying to get the closest match possible from POR's stock colors?

You can paint over POR-15 with whatever paint you like as long as you do proper prep. I would call the people at POR-15 and ask them about your specific project! I have called them a few times and they are very helpful! The number is 973-887-1999. Tell them we sent you and let us know how it works out!

I live in Texas so we don't really get bad rust problems down here. however I would still like to do the undercarriage of my 2011 F250. My undercarriage isn't full of rust and the majority of the factory paint is intact. What steps would you recommend to prep the surface to get a long lasting coating of the por15 before it peels?

@HazardSports

+Daniel Robinson Honestly Daniel, if the factory paint is still intact I would just leave it alone! If you have areas that are peeling I would just treat those areas! Pull the flakes off, use the degreaser, then the metal prep, then paint! That’s my opinion. -Paul

Jack It dries pretty quick as long as you applied thin coats. Even faster when it is humid! If you put on a thick glob of paint it could take a while. i try to paint when I can let it sit for a few days; but thats overkill. Let me know how it works out!

Thanks for the info, and I have one more question if that's ok. Will POR hold up to scratches and can it be buffed or polished if need be? Just curious because it's on the exterior of my car.

@HazardSports

It’s marketed as “tough as nails” but I never used it in exterior. You said you have a top coat over it so I am sure that is most vulnerable. Good to have paint on top cause POR15 doesn’t do well exposed to UV light. The only issues I have seen with POR15 are when the metal isn’t prepped and rinsed : dried properly- then it will peel over time. But since you did the prep you shouldn’t have a problem with it. Feel free to call the company directly- they are very helpful!

After doing the degreaser, then metal prep (with thoroughly washing with water each time) I have got a limescale looking powder lining the tank. Any idea of what this could be? Reluctant to do the sealer before knowing if this is normal. Any help would be great thanks!

According to the website: Most people brush it on, but many spray also. Proper equipment and organic vapor particulate respirators for solvents are essential for spraying. HOW DO I THIN POR-15 IF I WANT TO SPRAY IT? You should use only POR-15 Solvent for thinning. Keep lacquer thinner handy for clean-up. Do not thin POR-15 more than 5% If you Spray it on let us know how it worked out for you so we can share your tips with other people who watch this video!!!

Great video, thank you for posting. Bought a can of this today but the cleaner/degreaser and metal prep were not available. So far i chipped away all the flaky bits and used Castrol Superclean on the pieces. Can you give any suggestion as to what else i could do to ensure best adhesion ?

+TheCanadianBubba Honestly, I have used this stuff a lot over the years! Any seasoned metal with rust on it that I have painted with no prep has lasted me a long long time! However, that's not the recommended way to use the paint! The prep is extremely important, especially for new metal. New bare metal is definitely something you don't want to paint without prep work! That's where you will find your most trouble! Good luck and let me know how it works out!

@HazardSports

3 жыл бұрын

You DEFINITELY have to degrease the rust first (from road contamination and such). The metal etch is for new or unseasoned metal!

About that topcoat on pieces in direct sunlight, do you need to use a primer first, or can you just paint right over the POR15?

@HazardSports

6 жыл бұрын

You can paint directly over POR15. As long as your top coat is paint and not clear coat you should be good! If you prepped the metal and painted POR15 properly then the top coat is your weak link as it is exposed t the environment. For the top coat just follow the recommendations for that paint. Not sure if you did multiple layers with wet sanding in between or what your specific needs or application call for. Again, I am no paint expert but just have some personal experience with POR15

How about painted wheel wheels Prefer do add additional protection priorbt poo nany rust now that vehicle is in ne and facing first winter Por clear over the metal etch but metal etch ruins the paint color ? so what is clear good for or can I uae directly on cleaned paint I just received Clear Black And top coat And metal prep And degreaser

+Finn Green I have only applied POR-15 to bare metal (new & rusted). I have never painted over paint with it and I don’t think you can with predictable results. But, I certainly don’t know! What I can tell you is that I have called the company before and they are very helpful and take time to explain things to you! Give them a call and let them know you’ve seen our video (please).

I have never tried it. What I’ve seen and heard is that any paint would bond to it if applied when the paint is still tacky.

@HazardSports

2 ай бұрын

I used it again the other day in a project. It was a very humid day. Before I was done with the first coat the paint was hardening in the brush. I was using the brush continuously yet it was hardening that fast (hours). Non- stop 2 coats took me 2 brushes over the span of 5hrs. Thin coats. This paint dries super fast in humidity. The temperature is less important. When I use other automotive paints I prefer hot sunny days to heat up the metal and let the paint bake in the sun. Two different animals.

After the preping, can I wait before apply? Or I have to immediately apply?

@HazardSports

I usually apply right away but I don’t see any problems waiting as long as you make sure the metal doesn’t get contaminated in any way! If you are working on your daily driver, I wouldn’t prep it one day then drive to work the next day!
