They both seem like alot of money for rotted out 1/2 tons

 

2100 is way too high. 1300 bucks

 

alright thank ya!

 

none of them look TOO bad. i guess every 150 i had rusted out in the back wheel wells. i even fixed the one i have now one time. good aftermarket sheet metal thicker than the original stuff spent big cash matching paint..... only to have it rust out 9 months 19 days later and look pretty much the same as i did before i spent $1121.23 on the thing to get it fixed. morale of the story these things rust out real easy on the rear wheel well and the fronts a little bit to.

 

i was thinking on getting the blue one... bigger motor..... and just get new quarters completely and then bed line the bottom 10 inches or so and the wheel wells

 

POR15. Way tougher than bed liner. More expensive and more prep but better results. I'd recommend you prep the metal before putting it on the truck (easier than working under the truck)

 

ok would it look good for like fake fender flairs and rockers

 

how much prep work do i have to do to put the por15 on?

 

POR-15 APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Surface preparation:
Rusted surfaces are best; seasoned metal and sandblasted surfaces are also good.

To coat smooth metal surfaces:
Use POR-15 METAL-READY to prepare surface before painting. Surface must be dry and free of grease, oil, or other foreign substances. Use of 'rust converter' products is not recommended as they may affect bonding of POR-15 to metal. POR-15 likes to adhere to surfaces with 'tooth' rather than smooth, glossy surfaces.

STIR CONTENTS GENTLY AND THOROUGHLY before painting.
Do not shake.
Refrigerate unused portion of POR-15 for longer shelf life.

Apply in thin coats, 1 to 2 mil thickness. Minimum 2 coats.
Topcoat when first coat is dry but with slight finger-drag remaining, usually 4-5 hours.

SPRAY APPLICATION:
Use 30-35 lbs pressure for normal gloss. Reduce pressure for lower gloss (20-25 lbs). Thin only with POR-15 Solvent, if necessary, but do not thin more than 5%.

TO TOPCOAT A FULLY CURED POR-15 SURFACE:
Wet sand with 600 grit until gloss is dull, then paint, or use POR-15 Tie-Coat Primer directly on the cured POR-15 surface, then topcoat as desired. NOTE: Never topcoat a POR-15 surface that hasn't dried, as this will ruin the coat already down.

Use POR-15 Solvent or lacquer thinner for cleanup, which must be done before POR-15 dries. NOTE: Organic vapor particulate respirators, NIOSH/MSHA approved, must be used when spraying POR-15.

Moisture will shorten the life of unused POR-15. See our 'Residual Moisture - Little known Facts' page to learn some little-known facts about residual moisture.

Seal can or jar immediately after using. We recommend placing plastic wrap between lid can and storing in a cool dark place.

APPLICATION OF POR-15® TO NEW METAL

For proper adhesion to aluminum, galvanized metal, and smooth steel surfaces, prep with POR-15® METAL-READYT Rust Remover/PrePrimer. Keep surface wet for 15 minutes, then rinse off with water and dry thoroughly. This process will leave a zinc phosphate coating on the metal and insure perfect adhesion.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Use as a primer or finish coat
Automobiles: fenders, floorboards, bumpers. trunk areas, engine compartments, rockers
Trucks, trailers, agricultural equipment, snow removal and highway equipment
Storage tanks, bridges, boats, factory machinery
Outdoor sign supports, fencing, metal roofs, fire escapes
Use to waterproof insulation or wood
As a filler for metal
Use as a bonding agent on wood or styrofoam
Prevents rust in refrigeration units where moisture corrodes metal
Use on lawnmower housing to prevent rust; keep grass from sticking and clumping in wet weather.

WHICH FORMULA TO USE?

POR-15® SILVER contains metal filler and should be used on badly rusted steel to fill small holes and pitted areas.
POR-15® BLACK is used on frames, floorboards. under fenders, engine compartments. trunk areas, etc.
POR-15® CLEAR dries to a perfect satin gloss, used on exterior surfaces before painting. Excellent for "touch-up".
POR-15® GRAY is ideal for use on concrete.
