- In this video, my dad helps me lay down the Pro 15 on his old 1951 chevy truck. We go through the proper preparation of the metal and end up with a cab with will be sealed from rust for many years to come!

Helping your dad work on a project he's had for 45+ years = Priceless.
The slowest brain cells get killed first, collectively improving the herd of brain cells. You're doing the right thing! Thanks for showing the process; it's quite amazing to hear someone say, "I put that mud on this truck myself 45 years ago." Rock on!
id actually rather just wear a proper mask
Truck is looking good. Paint really took the cab up a notch and makes it look finished
Boom.
Good video, great explanation. Dad knows his stuff 👍🏻
Thank you! He sure does!
Awesome, I love it too
Thanks man!
Great sweatshirt! Class of 2002 here.
Maybe a dumb question (sorry), but why are there sections inside the cab that you didn’t cover with any POR15? Are you just focusing on areas that already had surface rust?
Can you do a little bit of an overview on how you mounted the cab and core support onto the frame? Very interested in doing something similar!
Sure, I'll show better detail on the cab mount and core support mount that I fabbed up on the next truck update. Thanks!
Been looking to do my trucks frame, good video, surprised how little will go far
You and me both!
I READ A LOT OF GOOD ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. I HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET.
How would you suggest using this on a car when it’s not able to be rinsed with water ? 1980 Trans am already redone (mostly), Trunk areas and below the door frame. I don’t want to get the car wet on the inside or have water leak into the frame .
Good question. I'd recommend using a spray bottle and wiping down the surface with towels. It will be important to clean the solution off before applying the product, and it's certainly possible to clean it off without a full on rinse. I hope that helps!
How many can 4oz cans did you use on each application?
I loved the old fashioned proctologist bit, colon cancer sucks.
Thanks for the video 👍
I miss Petaluma 😢
Better than linex?
whats the music playing at 6:54 mark?
Did the smell go away?
Thought I was tripping for a moment,,,lol
Haha!
Hey so I’m sure I’m using it wrong somehow but I’ve applied it several times on the floor of my cab and it’s peeling when it’s dry and when I’m applying it it won’t apply evenly it’ll move away from some areas, bubble in others and overall just looks bad
I went oven my floors with soapy water and 320 grit sandpaper as prep but that didn’t seem to do much, kinda beating my head against the wall right now so some advice would be appreciated
I tried thin coats and it was just heading up and looking like shit so I put on thicker coats and I guess that’s why there’s bubbling but still, paint shouldn’t be that hard to work with that’s why I’m feeling kinda stupid because nobody else is seeming to have an issue
With POR15 it is pertinent that you do exactly what the directions say…stick with the products that are recommended and use them as directed and I’m thoroughly convinced that POR15 is pretty much bombproof. I’ve never had it come off of anything I’ve applied it to. Good luck!
@@BigJimBoylesLab any update? Bout to use this crap soon and wanna know what mistakes you might've made? I did all the proper prep.
@@matt.squarebody5427 yeah man make sure there’s absolutely no trace of any oily substance on your surface and make sure it’s 100% bone dry, wipe that shit down super good - I might’ve used the wrong stuff to wipe down my surfaces I think not sure
I thought once this stuff dries it is glossy. The last picture shows it as flat.
Por 15 has versions with Gloss and Semi gloss finish. This was the semi gloss, so it does dry much more flat than then gloss version.
@@ClassicNation how did he finishe it? Clear coat, single stage, etc
PLEASE FLOOW ALL MNUFACTURES DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS.
I don't like the shiny look of that stuff it accentuates all the imperfections.
Nah you dont have to do all that song and dance to apply por15 . I did my 41 Plymouth, ,,65 Cutlass,and 65 Impala 20years ago just wire brush, sand,or sand blast then apply por 15
turn off the damn music
Its not music, its called racket or a bad noise.
Putting water on rusty metal and new bare metal patch’s? I don’t think so.
You have to stop the chemical reaction. If you leave it on your causing problems
Not to mention, if the chemical did it’s job there isn’t any rust to worry from the water. Then the black Por15 layer transformed the rust permanently.
