Anyone ever paint there engine bay here with por15? would anyone recommend it. if so, did you spray it or brush it on? and what would i need to do to get the best results?

 

No one has ever done this here? I have seen it done before someone has to have some information about this.

 

I never had the ***** to. I always thought it would be interesting to do the exterior with it... I mean, it's pretty glossy...

 

I used to spray POR-15 every day on military equipment. It is serious stuff, but VERY toxic...be careful. Once it dries it is rock hard and it loves to kill surface rust, that is actually the preferred substrate is a 'seasoned' (lightly rusted) surface. It also has to be de-glossed before being painted over and is not UV resistant. If it gets hit by sun for more than a couple of days it will essentially be ruined.

That is with the basic POR-15 of course, I don't know what other varieties they have now...

It should be sprayed for best results.

 

Certain varieties of it are uv resistant if I remember correctly now, but there are some colors that are NOT, and say so on the website.

 

I did a bay with it, rolled it on looked great...only warning most are not uv protectant so dont use it where the sun will hit it, as it tends to look milky
