I do know that it is impossible to do body work or paint over the stuff at least
at home with basic tools, nothing sticks to it no matter what the instructions
say.
The POR 15 works to some degree, the other stuff Master Coat or whatever, does
not work at all.
I never used Coroless.
Maybe Patton is on to something with British iron?
Look at the bonnet on PIECES, those seems were done in POR 15 2 years ago, what
a waste of time and money.
Been there done that, still looking for the miracal rust cure.
