POR-15 over paint is wasted $$ IMO. It is really for
treating metal and thats what i used it for. What do
you mean by "diaper"?

My westy has about a half gallon of POR-15 in its
seams (they ALL were rusty) I sandblasted first(used 6
bags of sand!) Used "metal Prep"(acid etching
compound) then POR-15 and primer.......Its been about
a year and a half and some areas are starting to rust
again(where water accumulates, like the seams below
air intake holes)

If I were to do it again I would have used a two part
epoxy paint instead, REALLY THICK stuff

My 2cents
