I'm in the midst of yet another chassis rustoration on the 3A;   I've been 
using POR-15 this time in the ( naive) hope that it will outlast the 
Rustoleum that has been previously applied.  ( Yes, I am stripping it all 
off....  no overcoating allowed.)     POR-15 seems pretty good so far,. it 
is tenacious,  goes on easily ( but messy!!!) and looks pretty good on the 
chassis.     But, it is quite expensive,  and has a pretty short shelf 
life after the can is initially opened. 

I received some spam about a new ( to me, anyway) product that seems to be 
similar in many ways to the POR-15 regimen-  a degreaser,  an acid etch, 
and the topcoat.    It is sold by KBS Coatings,  ( kbs-coatings.com) whom 
I've never heard of before.   They have a pretty good offer  going on, 
cleaner, etch and paint  kit 
for a pretty good price......   POR-15 seems to have recently raised their 
prices big-time ( 70$  qt !!)  and their shipping $$$ policy is totally 
bogus- 

Anyway,  any valid reason to steer away from KBS?

NFI, of course.

thanks
