I'm not very happy with my results from the POR15. I used it on the lower parts of my doors 'cause they had some surface rust on them, that was before I painted it and I followed the directions to the letter, it all went on smooth and looked nice but I saw in the summer where the rust was coming back through, it was probably from the inside that it rusted through but right now I am experimenting with some industrial type rust stop for outside stuff (poles, rails, all that kind of junk) on my 69 stepside (but I'm stripping the frame to bare metal.... or at least most of it) and I also did a section on my daily driver Sonoma so I could see how it holds for daily use and street/offroad/beat the crap out of it use. In the past couple months I put it on it is holding up really good, I just clean the suface off every now and again to see how it is holding and it looks nice. The best part about it is it is $20 a gallon instead of $80 and the lid don't want to seal shut after you open it (I tried the plastic wrap on the lid for the POR15..... it didn't work) Josh Wounded 66SS396 >From: "NoNeck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Underhood Restoration 70 Chevelle >Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2001 17:05:46 -0500 > > >Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List >------------------------------------------------------------ > >Also, as an aside: when I originally detailed my cowl wall over a year ago, >I cleaned it off with lac. thinner and scotchbrite.
