Great product! Used it 2 days ago for the first time on the bottom and inside of one of our doors and I couldn't believe how easy it covered and then smoothed out.Pain in the a$$ to prep for yes however the end results were nice. One of our doors wasn't quite swiss-cheese but it was getting there, the other was fine. About 12 holes about 1/2 the size of a dime and maybe 15 to 20 very very small pin holes. Used the MIG on low and was able to neatly fill in the larger holes and hit each of the small pinholes also. When finished I ground it all down neatly and then cleaned and PORed it with 2 coats. Checked the dried results yesterday morning to find it filled everything and leveled itself beautifully.

Note that a little goes quite a long way! For my first coat I poured some into a container and after doing the bottom and inside of the door I still had 1/2 it left. Grabbed a few smaller items (large bracket over steering column holding clutch/brake pedals, etc) and did those also.

Now I had plans on doing the inside floors, undercarriage, inside and outside the engine bay (everything forward of door pillar), the front and back window grooves, topside of the drip rails, inside the fenders and rear quarters, etc. Possibly the pillars and top of roof as it'll have a black vinyl roof and I hear the moisture issues regarding those all the time. Its going to be a year round driver for the wife in Jersey and stored outside so I want it well protected.

Yesterday my father was reading up on it and said "Hell why not just spray the whole damn car inside and out once we get it on the rotisserie and the suspension off". I hadn't even considered doing this and still not sure about it. Figured I'd ask here and find out what you all thought about it? Looking for both PROs and CONs for and against doing this. I'm leaning towards going with my initial plan but wanted to ask here.

Throw out your suggestions! Thanks

 

A friend of mine just used it on the engine bay of a 67 S code. Sprayed it on and it turned out great. I think it would work very well sprayed on the whole belly of the car as long as the prep is done correctly. It does dry hard and levels itself up verywell. If you plan to use a different color paint or adheisive, you need to spray a little2k on it as soon as it tacks up. Otherwise nothing likes to stick to it once it cures.

 

Acid bath your car and have the whole chassis powder coated...

Well, that would be expensive, but it would be nice too

 

Yes I read that you needed to spray a mist of primer over it as it tacks up if painting over it. Thanks for mentioning that though. The car will be painted Dark Moss Green (ext) and will have the lighter Ivy Gold painted interior areas. I was told I should use either gray or black primer outside and gray inside. Guess the gray POR-15 would be the stuff to use then or should it matter since it'll all get primed over anyways?

Another thing I was wondering was in regards to body fill. Should 'bondo' go on first or should the POR-15 be sprayed to bond to the metal and then sanded, filled, sanded, and then primed? Think I'll email POR-15s support with a few questions. The idea of doing the entire car and sealing everything might sound good but I'm still leary of it and have a lot of questions. [&:]

Thanks


I'd love to have it bathed however here in Nova Scotia, Canada that would cost an arm and 2 legs! *IF* you could find a place to do it which is unlikely. I know a guy here doing the powder coating but unfortunately his oven is too small to push the car in lol.
