Por-15 doesn't like clean metal. Works great on rusty metal (produces a nice,
almost ceramic finish) but I have seen it peel off in sheets from clean metal.
Of course the manufacturer says the surface wasn't prepped right and you need a
special clean metal primer... but I still don't trust it on clean metal.
Perhaps Rust-oleum would be a better choice on clean metal?
