You can top coat it.  There is a specific procedure to follow.  For specifics on the procedure see the POR web site www.por15.com .  But as I recall, you coat it, let it cure for a while, then before it cures hard ( still slightly tacky) apply the top coat. On 9/23/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PR

I used a "Catalyzed" Epoxy Primer from Auto paint supply store. In my case, I want the semi-gloss look that was produced by the factory when they used to use lacquer paint or primer under the car but it was poorly done and often did little to stop rust. This enamel product uses a hardener and makes
