I must admit, Nolan, that I did not use POR-15 on rusty surfaces. All my rusty
surfaces were cleaned to bare metal as best as possible, thoroughly washed in
Castrol Superclean, rinsed in very hot water, and then air dried. This left a
dull finish that took the POR-15 very well.
I have never had a problem of peeling or chipping. POR-15 has been on my upper
and lower A-arms, sway bar, front brake dust shield, and wheel spindles for 2
years. Am I just lucky, or was it good preparation? I think it was the prep.
I have no interest in the company, nor sell the stuff, but I will continue to
use it in the future.
So there you have it folks... some like it and some don't.
