We have the frame stripped and were going to powder coat. That ended up not working out so we went with painting our rusty frame with POR 15 instead. POR-15 is a non-porous coating that protects against rust, corrosion, chemicals and salt. The POR-15 should keep this frame protected for life.

We were able to get POR 15 straight from Amazon.

#por15 #silverado #truck180 paint over rust
I see anything OBS I'm subscribing lol. Nice work guys can't wait to watch the whole build
Keep your eyes out this week for the drop kit video
There’s no such thing as an obs Chevrolet
@@obsnation8453 What do you mean? It's a '93 and the OBS (Old Body Style) is the '88-98 year models
@@Truck180 the only OBS is an OBS Ford. The nickname OBS came from when Ford did a complete redesign of the superduty trucks in 1998 but still had the same powerstroke. The name OBS was to prevent confusion between the 9th generation F Series Super Duty from the 10th generation F Series Super Duty. So in other words there’s no OBS Chevy. The proper nickname would be squarebody Chevy.
@@obsnation8453 Well I'll have to disagree. The term OBS and NBS was used on the Chevy truck way before 1998 and the Square body was produced from 1973 to 1987. The term OBS only means old body style like NBS is new body style so really it can pertain to any manufacturer.
How come you guys didn't use the POR degreaser and metal prep? They are required for a solid bond when you actual go paint it. It's a 3 step process. Hmmm......I don't think the paint is going to hold.
Degreaser yes, they should’ve used it, metal prep, no, metal prep is only required for bare metal surfaces, it’s an etcher, this is a rusty surface so this will do good
@@TheRegretedURL Metal prep is supposed to be used for both rusted and bare metal surfaces....for por-15 application....and especially if one has wire-brushed the rust. It's a necessary step.
That's what I was going to ask.
I would love to a future look at the frame seeing that they didn’t show the use of the step I or II and just went to painting for step III of POR15
I like that I'll be putting some in my truck this year thanks
I’ve been using por15 for over 30 years good stuff my Camaro frame still looks the same
Do you keep it inside or out?
@@tylervoit9447 cars kept inside but used it on my trucks and still looks good but we’ll sun fade recommend light prime while it’s still tacky that way regular paint sticks to it
I did a truck frame and after one winter rust was starting to come through. I’ll have to try it again
@@morganhay859 did u do it right? Is says to use their degreaser, metal prep and top coat too
@@MaddoxMelton honestly I don’t remember because it was so long ago but I know it was taken down to bare metal and degreased
Looking good guys!!!! Love anything OBS!!
Thanks for making this video
I did my entire 69 mustang frame with it after all the correct prep. Had to make a repair to weld spot and that’s when I found that is started pealing off. Hit it with air gun and it pealed off. Spent the next 3 weeks sanding and wire wheeling the entire underside and front frame! Will never tell anyone to use it! Same thing happened to my lawn tractor mower deck that is did while drinking the juice!!
Never again!
That's not good at all. So far there have been no issues on this frame. We cleaned it and wiped it down with a prep before painting it and its hard as can be.
you have to paint over it. uv rays (the sun) kill it.
@@frigglebiscuit7484 car never left the garage was still working on wiring.
Gray is a good color. That way you can see whatever color top coat that needs to be spayed over it to protect it from the ultraviolet rays. But sense it under the carriage it’ll probably get none if any . But por15 will not stand up to the suns ultraviolet rays and has to be top coated with a premium paint that will.
We were going to paint it a different color at first but thought it would be good for the video for people to be able to see the frame. You're right you won't see much of it at all now that the body is on.
I just watched your video June 11, 2022, was wondering how POR is holding up and are you satisfied with it?
Is it holding up or what guys? We wanna buy it too lol
Update fools!
So how did it hold up after two years?
All that work taking it down to the frame just to power wash it? Why not sand blast it and actually get rid of the rust ?
That was the original plan but the places we were going to use we just couldn't get our schedules lined up. And we don't have the setup just yet to do it ourselves. The POR15 is designed to paint over the rust so we figured this was a good example because not many people have a sand blast setup in their garage either.
@@Truck180 I hear ya, and it does look good. It’s just like putting a band aid over it though, I doubt it will stop the actual rusting of the metal underneath. I’m sure you’re not as concerned in Texas as I would be in northern illinois though lol
@@michaelm770 It's supposed to be tough enough to stop the rust since it seals it. And, it self levels so it looked way better than we expected. We'll have a sand blast setup soon but couldn't keep waiting.
@Lucky Jackson maybe we will try that the next time around and put them head to head
Por 15 is a 3 step application....did you guys not read the instructions?
Which part did you mean?
@@Truck180 Supposed to apply the cleaner and degreaser, then the metal prep...and then minimum of 2 coats of por-15. That is the standard procedure for por-15 application in all circumstances.
Is your audio left and right channel depending on the mic?
Make sure you top coat it
you guy's didn't use any of their products to prep it how's it kept up still stuck on there for peeling/flaking off ?
Is the por15 blistering after 2 years?
Man I wanna do a frame off restoration so bad I just need more room and a crain
It's a lot more work than we expected but to be honest it's the first time we've done this. Thanks for watching!
I don’t wanna burst your bubble, but you’re screwed up. You did not use the pot 15 right. You’re supposed to use the metal prep first maybe it has phosphoric acid maybe it has zinc😢
Nyc, friend..
I'm 🤔 of using this to paint my boat trailer. I have heard POR 15 doesn't last in the sun, is that true and should I paint over it somehow?
Correct, it doesn’t have UV protection. It will eventually fade. It would need a top coat.
After one month still good?for life?
Yep we are happy with it!
How’s it holding up?
How long does it last
Mine was black weird
I like your video, I'll watch more. But I'd like it better without that music.
Rado?
You guys do realize you made your video in stereo😂
DO NOT get any on you
Jim learned that lesson real quick. Don't listen to Dougy. He also learned doing touch ups that a well ventilated work area is crucial!
So, I wasn't worried too much about getting it on me. But, I did use the spray can for some touch up and let's just say you need a nice mask on for that.
The music ruined this video,
