- In this video I will show you how to apply POR15 the right way!
I started out by having my frame sandblasted and prepped the frame using POR15 Degreaser. Then I used POR15 metal prep and then I allowed the frame to completely dry. The outside temperature was in the 90's and was very humid as well. There are a lot of videos where the out come was very poor using this product. I had a very good out come and my opinion is they did not prep the surface correctly or the temperature was to low not allowing the POR15 to cure properly.
I personally would recommend using POR15 and also would recommend following POR15's directions to the tee!
Excellent video!! Anyone who wants to apply POR 15 should use this as a tutorial. Thank you for your time in producing it.
You're very welcome!
Best stuff ever. Foam applicators are nice because bristles bend and flick paint spots on you etc. Have Acetone handy for clean up. Lots of old rags and cardboard helps.
I appreciate this video. I'm getting ready to treat the frame of our travel trailer and this was really helpful. Thanks for putting it together.
This is a great video on how to apply POR15 the right way!
What's that frame look like now? Por15 work?
To be honest what attracted me 1st was your CZcams handle. Hilarious! And you did a h*** of a job and thank you!
AR420 thanks! Just having fun with the name.
I am glad you liked the video.
Great video.Getting ready to do a frame on my Kenworth.I used this years ago. Great stuff!
Getting ready to use it. Good video
Good luck!
I think you are correct that POR says not to shake. Stir only to keep the air down. Great video.
This is the best video I've found. Thanks so much
great vid! did a small section pretty much all you can see from rear wheel well of my 1993 bronco when i replace leaf springs and the brackets, had to constantly swap out brushed because this stuff dries pretty fast. bullet proof best on the market.
Great video. I'm getting ready to paint an old dunebuggy frame and I think I want to use the POR 15 now. Thanks
Excellent video. Very nice job of explaining what you are doing. I am about to do my car hauler so the video was interesting. Thanks
Rich K thanks for watching
Good job man! Looks good
Thank you.
Greeting from Alberta and thx, most helpful!!
Greeting from Tennessee
There Ty Coat primer states to stir not shake so no air bubbles form in it. If I were painting the frame, I would have used a cheap Harbor Freight spray gun for $15. After I used it I just toss the gun as there not worth cleaning.
I have a cheap spray gun but at the time I didn’t have a big air compressor.
The frame looks awesome.
Thanks you!
Best thing to do was to get the smaller cans. You can take your time and not have to worry about a bigger can drying up on you. The bigger can is expensive!
Great job explaining how to do it right! Did the 2nd coat go on ok even though it was fully dried?
Geoff240ti by the time I got to it I had layer a pretty thick first coat so I skipped the 2nd coat. I then painted the frame.
@@ThezNutzGarage what did you top coat with? I wasn't sure if I should bother since not much UV will see my frame. Just about to lay por tonight!
I made a video of painting the frame.

Good Job
Great video, Thanks. I am thinking of using this for my Singer sewing machine restoration. Then hopefully I can use a professional Clear coat on top. What do you think?
Pat Frey well you could put a good 2 or 3 coats on it and let it ride. It has a pretty good shine once it dries but it CAN NOT BE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT or it will fade.
If it was going to be outside I think what I would do is POR15 it then epoxy prime it the paint with a good two stage paint or single stage paint. To me it is really slick and the paint I used to paint my frame is easy to scratch down to the POR15.
You also might be able to clear coat over the top of the POR15 but I would do a test and see how it dries out.
@@ThezNutzGarage Thanks so much for that advice. I love the fact that it goes on very smooth and self levels which will take out some other stages if I used other products. I need to put decals on after the paint and before the clear coat. Thanks again!
Great video. Most I’ve found said to brush the metal prep not spray. Why did you decide to spray?
Well my frame was sandblasted so I didn’t have to super soak any areas. I also liked how easy it sprayed on. Maybe people brush it on to save the metal prep, idk. I will always spray it on and if I need to work an area I will go back with a brush.
Thanks good job
Great video! I'm doing my C10 frame now. Did you have to scuff the first coat of POR15 to do your second coat after you ran out? Thanks!
You can go straight to a second coat
Damn, good video man. I want to POR15 on my brake rotors. Not the rotor faces of course but the hat part that sometimes gets corroded and surface rust all over it. a 4oz can is plenty. Do you know where I can buy the pre-treat and a 4oz can? I cannot find just a 4 oz can. Thanks.
I think they sell them on eBay
Did you test the POR later to see if it really adhered? I have seen it peel up with a flat screwdriver like nothing before.
It’s is still on there with no problems
@@ThezNutzGarage way to avoid the question lol. Did you actually check it and see if it hardened and bonded to the metal? Or no?
@@GW2_Live yes it’s is still on the frame. I painted the frame after in applied POR-15. My frame was sand blasted before I applied it to the frame.
Awesome video! How many of those cans would be needed to do a rear end out of a car?
Two or three I would think
@@ThezNutzGarage Awesome and thank you for the reply.
Why not shake the can while its closed
If it has any air in the can it cause it to dry out faster from what I heard. It’s been awhile since I have used it. I really don’t remember if a new can would be effected by shaking it.
Thanks
You helped me out with the job I have to do on my 2010 Toyota Tacoma rust bucket. Thanks again
Thank you!
Why not just epoxy prime the bare sandblasted frame and then scuff and top coat with a couple of coats of single stage urethane and be done with it? I’ve used POR, not on a full frame but on some smaller chassis parts that I had sandblasted. I followed their system as demonstrated here, (very good demonstration video by the way) and used their topcoat for UV resistance with decent results BUT it’s a lot less hassle, less mess and fewer steps to epoxy prime and topcoat with a urethane. If you’ve gone to the trouble of sandblasting a frame to bare metal, I’m not sure there is any advantage to using POR vs an epoxy primer. If for whatever reason you can’t media blast to a clean surface and you’ve needle scaled, or wire brushed a rusty surface as clean as possible, then yeah POR is a decent alternative.
On my next restoration build I may do primer and paint but at this time I don’t have a painting rig set up. I was just trying it out to see how it turned out.
@@ThezNutzGarage It does flow out nicely giving a nice sprayed finish look. Powder coating is another fairly cost efficient option if you have a capable facility nearby with a large enough oven to do a frame. All surface imperfections will show through the same as with POR. I’ve used all 3 methods on different projects. One advantage of epoxy prime and paint is that you can ‘body work’ out minor pitting and easy to repair if needed. What is the song at the end of your video? Good music!
Yes it does lay down smooth and maybe to smooth. I wonder if you primer over POR if it will adhere good enough to paint afterwards?
I could have had it power coated for around $500 but doing it at home was the easiest for me.
@@ThezNutzGarage Not sure on whether it can be painted over with something other than the POR top coat, (which offers UV protection) and I seem to recall a limited window for best results but it’s a long time since I last used it. Usually, it’s best to stay within a product line to ensure compatibility but POR product support can probably give an answer.
It's POR paint over rust. Over why did you sand blast it?
It was covered in oil and dirt. It was also a time issue. It was easier to sand blast and let a little rust appear and then put on the POR15
Question. I have a new bumper I am going to install on my daughter's jeep. It's brand new and is already painted. Do I need to prep the bumper in any way before painting it?
If it’s pre painted I would sand with 500 grit sandpaper then paint. Don’t apply POR 15 over paint.
May ask where you found the Ford V8 logo that big..?
909 designs
Bradford, Tn
It’s a two piece decal.
Thank you... very nice
Can I use this stuff for a metal railing ??
Yes. Just make sure you still prep the area and if you paint it I would use an epoxy primer when the last cost is almost dries. It will fade in direct sunlight
Did you apply a coat of primer or adhesion promoter between the por 15 and the paint?
No but if I ever do it again I will use epoxy primer after the POR-15
How does it look now?
I painted the frame Grey.
