a word on POR-15.. its good (expensive) stuff, but its not a cureall. if you dont properly prep the surface, or redo the seams, or stop the rust at its orgin, POR-15 is useless..just a band aid. POR-15 will not stop rust. its just a epoxy based coating. its a tough coating tho.. only reccomended for underbody applications, or suspension parts, or other parts that dont get subjected to UV rays or need to be topcoated. in otherwords, its fine to use in your wheelwells etc, but i wouldnt use it on the outside of your van where it needs to be topcoated.. chris |
