Now, let me tell you a story about a former POR15 believer. POR15 should
only be used on very rough surfaces. I painted some parts with POR15 about
3 years ago. I painted both cleaned new stamped steel (replacement panels)
and some rusty surface on the cab floor which I just wire brushed and
vacuumed up. Well since that time I decided to do a frame off restoration.
And upon blasting the POR15 painted stamped steel, which still looked good
with the paint on it, the POR15 blew off in sheets as large as coffee cups.
My jaw dropped! This was a quick single pass at 40 PSI! And what was clean
bare metal when the POR15 was applied was now covered with light surface
rust. On the floor of the cab, it did adhere better, it took a couple of
passes to blow it off, and the sheets were smaller.
My experience with POR15 has me SPOOKED to the point that I will no longer
use this product. The original paint has proved the toughest to remove and
that is what I will be going with.

I will second everything you say, including the peeling off of Extend. It
was
almost as if it was more like a rubber cement than a rust killer. Now
POR15 is
another story. It truly lives up to its reputation. You can't remove it
if
your life depends on it.
