PSA about POR15

[FoxyRoadster]

Well been using it on the roadster and so far this is my findings:

 

One: Don't EVER get it on skin, it will not come off.. I've even poured paint stripper on my hands to try to get it off.

Two: Thinner the coats the better, if you get it too thick it will bubble like no tomorrow and you'll have to cut them off with a hobby knife.

Three: Even in a open environment you might take a break every 10 minutes.. I was stumbling around after an hours painting session and it wasn't the brown party liquor either.

 

Thats all I can think of so far, but on the good side I can tell you it fills in the pinhole sized holes in my body and sticks quite well to old my old rusty ratsun.

 

 

While painting I even came up with a name for my roadster, I proclaimed it the rustster. (pronounced ruster lol.. I blame paint fumes)

Are you spraying it? I never got dizzy off it before. Never had the bubble issue either but thin coats are def better I agree, thick ones (bubbles aside) are more susceptible to that peeling por can and sometimes does.

 

To get it off your skin use a pumice stone in the shower. Takes it right off.

been rolling it on with the roller they supplied and got dizzy when doing my trunk lol I'm thinking it was too much, going to just cut the bubbles off and apply a second coat. Going to be using a sprayer soon to get it in those hard to reach spots though

Ah ya a trunk might do it lol. I did my interior but it had no doors or glass in so, pretty aired out. Spraying it is more a pita but you get such better results.

just hopping the bubbles I can just cut out and paint over.. I'm like dang its not going to seal as well now

 

 

I kinda am just taking my bf's advise, he said "Leave it ratty, we'll get you some fiberglass fenders later when its driving" lol

Wear a respirator or you are going to end up two brain cells short of a talking monkey.

Get it on the right spots of your fingers and it will certainly hide fingerprints. ;)

Pretty sure I used acetone to get it off my hands. Do it soon after you get it on you.

As previously stated, best to get it off right away. I've got some POR-15 thinner for spraying that works well, but most any solvent will take it off (mostly anyway :D ). What's worse is getting that shit in your hair! I was working on the inside of my cab in the hollow spaces with a coat hanger, gauze, and bailing wire and that shit dribbled everywhere :lol:, most inconveniently being the top of my head :lol: Had to cut out a few chunks of hair, but no biggie.
