As with any POR-15 product, this one exceeded my expectations once again. I bought this as a one-step external coating to protect a fuel tank on a 30 year old Japanese mini truck I bought to protect it against further rust damage. All I did was sand the tank down with 120 grit pads with a woodworking style plug in orbital sander to remove any loose paint and loose surface rust and scale. I blew it off after with compressed air, then started laying paint. The coverage of this paint is excellent. Trick with POR-15 is lay it on thick. Don't be afraid, I laid this stuff in a virtual waterfall fashion on a vertical surface and didn't have a single sag problem. Make sure to coat any areas that were rusted heavily with slightly more coverage than smooth areas, this will ensure the heavier porosity of the rusted area gets sealed tight. You want coverage to lay on wet- more coverage than a more satin or "dry spray" condition, if you don't cover it heavy and evenly so the entire part has a high gloss, the paint will have a different appearance when cured in the areas you "dry sprayed." It's just a characteristic of the paint, easy to work around as this paint doesn't develop sags easily at all. One can was more than enough for 3 heavy coats on a tank that I'd guess has about 10 square feet of surface area, and I still have several ounces left in the can. I allowed it to cure for one day before remounting the tank. I wasn't as careful as I could've been putting the tank back in, I bumped and scraped the new finish on several sheet metal edges and protruding bolt ends while lifting the tank back into the undercarriage. To my surprise, there was no evidence of my carelessness. No scratches or chips, this stuff is a serious chassis paint that's extremely hard and durable like POR-15 in the brush on can, but this chassis paint won't age quickly in UV light like the brush on type. Note: this chassis paint also won't fill pits or cover up rougher, rust damaged areas of a part like the brush on kind either. I'd recommend using both products where premium finish is desired, in my case it wasn't necessary. I think the negative reviews about this product may have come as a result of over preparation, it's been my experience POR-15 products work and adhere better on parts that have a rougher surface, rough but free of loose paint and rust, dirt and oil of course. Over prep will diminish the adhesion of POR products. 120 grit paper leaves too rough a surface for normal paints to cover up, POR-15 eats it up. It loves sticking to parts that were sanded with very aggressive abrasive. Worth the money! Happy many-time customer. Will use it again. UPDATE: 8-8-16: This paint will lift and peel immediately with gasoline exposure. Doesn't tolerate fuel spills or exposure well at all. Still a great paint for its intended purpose.
Did the prep like other told be to with the course scotch pad and 330 sanding. seems as of the scotch pad was easier to use, the photo on here is only the first coat, I was able to do 3 good coats on a 54 inch deck with light sanding before the next coat. turned out very well. not sure what others are getting but my can is a really high gloss black. this should help my mower deck last a long time now and cleaning should be a bit easier as well I am hoping. :-) I paid a lot of $$ for my new mower and saw what my old ZTR looked like when I traded it in not gunna let that happen again.
Based on the reviews I was kind of hesitant on using the aerosol top coat. I've heard the paint on stuff is very good so I decided to try the aerosol ( in saftey RED) on a quad frame that I had stripped down back to bare metal. I used a basic aerosol primer gray and gave it 3 Coats with a small sand in between coats. Then I proceeded to use about 4 cans of the aerosol top coat leaving about 3 days of dry time between each coat. I also left the frame outside for a couple hours A-day to Sun bake. Each coat i did for the frame used about a full can. The results are amazing. very glossy and a nice even finish. Paint is very druable after it has fully cured. At the end of the day paint is paint but I was pretty impressed
I have had quite a few scratches on my Ford Edge, some deep and some cosmetic. I went to a body shop and was quoted $3000 to fix them all. I decided to take a chance on this $15 can and I have to say, I am amazed. Most of the scratches are completely hidden and the deep ones are visible only on close inspection. I wish I had taken before/after pictures to corroborate my experience, but being skeptical, I didn't. Big regrets on that one, else you would have been able to see the amazing difference that this product has made! Very happy ( and relieved)!
After I coated a rear subframe of an RX-7 I applied the Top Coat with 2 to 3 coats. I still have some left in can for touchups. I expect this to hold up pretty well. POR-15 is known to be tough as nails.
Bought 2 cans and I feel like I needed 1 more, I repainted the entire under chassis of my 99 Dodge Ram both front and back differentials, shocks, springs, arms, and it looks brand new again. One thing I did do before paining was taking off the entire tar and gunk from old oil by pressure washing and using a degreaser with a wire brush. The spray can gives you about 5 inches of spray so it covers a lot without using too much paint, dries within minutes and the coat looks great- definitely a great buy.
I was replacing my body mounts on my 1983 Jeep CJ-7 and discovered a ton of hidden rust. I'd never heard of this product before. After cleaning the area and using a wire brush, the POR-15 was applied and you can see the results in the pictures. Pic 1 is the body mount completely rusted and stuck in the hole. Pic 2 is the cleaned area ready to be painted Pic 3 is the final after 3 coats of POR-15 Totally recommend this product.
I bought 3 spray cans and also added some special effects chameleon color shift so you may not achieve the same results as I did. The last picture is before applying special effects. This top coat covers well, seems durable so far and has a pretty good gloss to it when dried and cured. I didn't have any problems with how long it took to dry or become tacky. I did apply 2 coats however I feel that 1 coat would have been just fine I was going for some thickness to hopefully achieve some extra durability.
This paint turned out great!!! I sandblasted my 4 wheeler frame and sprayed this direct to the steel. No primer. One or two coats dont look the greatest, I did 3 coats with the 3rd being pretty heavy and it looks great! Hopefully it will hold up well! Used almost 2 cans for the frame and tail section. I did a little testing on 2 pieces of steel sandblasted and rustoleum primer, then black rustoleum paint on one. And this on the other with no primer. Well the rustoleum will chip off. This will not.
This is pretty good product specially have a white car he see a lot of the Chevy trucks and vans with peeling white paint lots of por-15 to fix the rust spot touched it up with this looks pretty good

Another unbeatable product by POR-15, why am I not surprised?
