Did you have problems with the Chassis Saver or POR15 on those fenders?
So far what I applied over two years ago seems fine and shows no problems. I cut off some parts last fall that had overcoats of Chassis Saver around some rust I wanted to cut out and I was checking it out and I did a lot of things to try and take that stuff off to get under it and it wasn't budging.

Now that you mention it...I think we used Por15 on those fenders. I stand corrected.

But I will still say that on our next build, we will not use any of these products. Only epoxy primer.

That video is good. I will say from experience though, that the best stuff to use and the biggest bang for your buck is to use a two part epoxy primer. To do that requires the use of more paint equipment, usually a paint gun and a compressor. Those two part epoxy primers are damn near indestructable when applied properly.

That's why NoReins is probably only going to use epoxy primer on her next build. The rattle cans can do ok but if your doing hours of prep work and minutes of painting, you'll want the best protection you can find.

I used a two part epoxy primer as well and that stuff is awesome.
