millsn Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Just applied this to the car so I've some pertinent advice to those considering the same: 1) Buy yourself some latex gloves before doing it (I write with black hands that will still be black in a week). 2) Don't buy the 'chassis coat black' by mistake if you order it on the net Nigel Mills - My next car must have xenons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerBrain Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 3) If you get some in your hair it will wash out if you're quick. However, remember that using your ungloved hand to check, then using the same hand to turn the shower on will result in a number of POR15'd fingers and a replacement shower valve knob! Not that I found this out myself, you understand... 😬 cheers, Darren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlymoFraser Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 A job for the next few weeks, noticed a few bits that need doing while under the car doing an oil change, so it's staying up on the ramps while I wait for the POR15 and Dinotrol to be delivered.

old captain slow Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Wher's the best place to by it? What do you use to de-grease and neutralise the rust as mentioned on the POR15 US website? Ta. C7 CDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmmarsh Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 POR-15 comes off quite easily with acetone or hammerite brush cleaner if it hasn't set hard - I can normally wipe it off up to 30mins after finishing painting. I'm not sure that I'd use it on my hair though..... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millsn Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 I started off with hammerite, abraded down to bare metal and degreased, then paintd over it with two coats. It took me ages and I did it a few months back .haven't driven the car since and it's already rusty. Can't believe it here's hoping POR15 will do the trick. I don't suppose the connected battery protects the car from corrosion does it? given I've disconnected the battery it could explain the sudden accelration in corroded bits?
