millsn Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Ordered some of this by mistake. I should have ordered the rust prevention paint - equally dopey buyers take note. However, has anyone used the chassis paint and got any feedback as to their experiences with it. Why would you coat the rust prevent paint with it as suggested on their blurb?

sjmmarsh Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 The chassis paint is UV stable, but the rust preventative isn't. My solution - slap another coat on as it will need redoing by then. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h_____ Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 As stated POR15 needs to be top coated, as degrades in sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Day Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I need to buy some of this as it is now top of my winter job list. I know I can get it from Frosts, but what is best to use as a top coat? and how many coats do i need to paint on?

Alba 7 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 As I understand it, POR 15 degrades in appearance but not performance in sunlight (so for bits that no-one sees you may not need to do much else to it). I overcoated some components with normal matt black spray from Halfrauds (after having roughened the surface slightly with medium wet and dry) and it looked OK and seemed to last . A couple of fine coats was all that I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alias Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 IIRC POR do a topcoat for POR15. Should be next to it in the POR catalogue. Theoretically, POR15 degrades with UV, however the chassis doesn't see much UV. If it's any helps, I applied POR15 about 3 years ago on my car and its still in place. A WORD OF CAUTION On the POR15 tin it notes that if you get the stuff on your hands, it will only come off with time. This assertion is absolutely correct. No amount of scrubbing got it off my hands and it took about 2 weeks for the last traces to disappear. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1800 Supersport with 6 gears and clamshell wings.

sjmmarsh Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Nitromors brush cleaner will shift it if it hasn't set too hard. I got some on the back of my arm, so did not notice for about 30 mins. It just wiped off with Nitromors. I don't think it is good for the skin though if you read the tin....
