Pour the POR out into another container rather than paint out of the original can. And don't use Styrofoam cups as it'll eat right through. And a plastic cup will soften with it. Oh, and don't use cheap foam brushes.
Yeah, definitely want to use a separate container to paint out of, you don't want to contaminate unused paint.
I got mine right from POR-15 and it seemed to take forever for it to come. Summit is faster but a few dollars more.
Expensive, but you won't be disappointed in the product
big fan of por.
stuff is tuff as nails, expensive but i dont mind because its quality.
best way to prep is to have the frame or whatever you are doing sandblasted, por sticks very well to rusted pitted metal but not to smooth metal. so if it is sanblasted it gives the entire surface a rough texture for the por to bite to.
i usually do 3 coats of por, then 2-3 coats of their topcoat.
have done my 97 frame, my 97 cab and bed and core support. then uncles 84 frame, core support, cab. all the misc frame brackets and crossmembers we just hang up with bungees
sanblasting is best option, its cheap and much easier than wire wheeling and much more efffective.
i have used brushes to apply it, but next project i do i am going to spray it with a cheap harbor freight gun, brushing is very time consuming, but mine have turned out great.
i have ordered all of mine in the past directly from por.
oh and p.s. if if its warm out, wear a pair of old jeans, and old long sleeve, and buy a box of gloves, if using those precautions, if your like me, you'll end up wearin some of it
and they dont lie when they say it doesnt come off your skin oncedry, usually takes a couple weeks
The only trouble I have found with POR15 is that it covers a lot more than indicated, so you want to make sure you have plenty of things to paint. I use a brush and it flows out so well a lot of people think it's been sprayed on. If it's still tacky you can topcoat it with another paint. If it hardens, you need to use their "tie coat" primer before top coating.
Biggreen, thanks for sharing your pics, your craftsmanship is top notch!! unfortunately sandblasting is out of the question. I wish I had time to take the cab & box off to get it blasted, but my wife is pregnant, and we are due in November, so I need to get this wrapped up before then.
I like POR15 too. I have not painted my frame, but I used it for a lot of stuff (painted my wrought-iron patio set and shop equipment, such). I like to spray it if the job requires more than a quart. It's faster and will get in all the right places. So I buy the POR and get two cheap paint sprayers (harbor freight grade) for an extra $20. IMO it too hard to clean up spray guns after using POR so I just throw them away at the end of the job.
I think that would work good for me, I was just looking at harbor freight's website, would this one work?
Looks good. And I'm not sure we told you, but you were wise to mask the threads off. It is a real bear to get the stuff out of the threads and it really takes running a die over them or a tap through them.

I don't think anybody did, but fortunately I thought to do that. I have two coats done on the radius arms/I beams, and one coat on the rest of the stuff in the pic.
