I have a frame that has been outside for about a year and a half since
using POR-15, and it needs to be redone. The U-V from the sun completely
ruins it in no time. I have a second frame done with epoxy primer and
urethane topcoat that is still fine after the same period of exposure.
It may work fine underneath a car, or buried in the trunk, but I'm not
using it again.
