POR 15

[wsgoodspeed]

I have just about finished painting my project CJ 7, as I said befor I had some trouble with POR 15's hard nose paint, it set very fast and bubbled in several places where I had painted the inside of the tub. I called them today and they told me my trouble was caused by high humidity. The hard nose paint is a 2 part paint that is reactive to water when it is wet, it speeds the hardening, any way they were very cool, they are sending me new paint and some extras. I am going to try again on a day the humidity is down a bit lower. I have painted the frame, engine compartment, axesl, under body, fenders and inside the entire tub. It looks AWSOME, I had to cut out several rusted spots out of the floor where the tub mounts, I should not have to worry about rust for a LONG time now (if this stuff does what they say it does). Anyway I thought I would give the company credit, they sounded interested in keeping me happy and treating me right. That is hard to find these days!

Hey Hey, i knew POR had to stand for something, now i dont have to ask. Wats the 15 for . . . 15 SPF??

 

[jhiggins]

LMAO that is a good question and I have no clue....Hmmmmmmmmmmm????

Clean Up

Its a stumper . . i know its not UV resistant so it cant be 15 SPF. So im fresh outta ideas.

 

[jhiggins]

Por-15 makes a top coat that is UV resistant though ....But I have no idea...????

 

[jeeprostyle]

Well maybe they should just call por-15 Paint over Rust . . and call the top coat , " TP-15"

 

[jhiggins]

LMAO you right them a letter ....LOL get more user friendly names ...LOL

 

[jeeprostyle]

Good idea. . . i think i'll email them a nice wholesome letter, give them a piece of my mind. Maybe i'll link them to this post and show them what kind of headache there giving people with this " 15 " they just so happened to throw onto " POR " . Wonder if they'll give me some free product for showing them the way . . . .

I had to do quite a bit of work to the tub to get it where I wanted it, I cut out rust, patched the holes, put a body filler in to smooth it all out, wire wheeled the entire inside of the tub, applied por 15, and top coated with their hard nose 2 part paint, I also did the engine compartment, frame, axels, and under body and I think I am into it for about $ 250. It is expensive but I did not want to worry about rust anymore. I like to leave the top off and just run the bikini, so if it rains, no big deal! It looks GREAT too.
