I have used POR-15 and love it. It is so dam hard, powdercoating would be
soft in comparision. It has limitations though, It can't stand UV exposure
so it can't be applied where direct sunlight will hit it. It can't be
topcoated unless you buy a special forulation. It's way too glossy to be
mistaken for the stock color. It has a very long drying time, so be prepared
to paint one day and assemble the next.
Tips:
Do Not buy the Quart! It will turn into a ROCK between uses. Instead, buy
the pints availible in a six pack.
Wash, Wire brush the area, then wash again.
Use a zinc phosphate acid solution to eat up even more of the rust. (they
sell a good one but there are others) This stuff is great. I ended up buyin
a gallon.
Use foam brushes, buy a bunch, they're cheap. You do not want to try and
clean a good brush after use.
Wear nitril gloves and keep it off you skin. wear you long sleave tee shirt
that was read fot the rag pile and tuck the sleaves under the gloves. You
have to lose the skin before you lose the color. If it drip onto you shop
floor, it will be there, forever (although I did get a spot off with my 5
pound hammer)
Lay it on in one thick stroke. don't go over it again. It melts together and
the brush strokes blend. But, if you hit it again the surface will end up
very rough.
