Vette(s): 1972 coupe/350 cid/mild cam/4 spd/20 ft. paint (looks perfect from 20 ft.), but it sure runs nice.

For those who have used it, what was the product type (name) used and were you satisfied with results. There seems to a choice of what to buy. Certain areas of my chassis have mild flaking (rear-near the gas tank). Thanks.

Hi jredding,

I have used the POR-15. I have found that if I follow their instructions to the letter the product is outstanding. I took a few short cuts on my GTO and found that it does not adhere properly. I really think that the marine clean is the key since it will remove and residue. Rinsing with water afterwards is also key. I use distilled water just to eliminate one more potential for contamination. Tap water tends to have a lot iron and other stuff that may or may not cause a problem. I decided that I would not take a chance on the vette.

I highly recommend the product. Also make sure that it is warm enough and that the product has not been sitting around on a shelf too long. They do not recommend that the product be used directly out of the can.

I have also used their chassis black with good success. I really like the durability versus the spray bombs.

Their website is excellent and they have live on-line support to help.

Good Luck!

jredding,

 I have used the POR-15 on several projects always had good luck. I used it on my 75 vette's rockerplanle covers as they were pritty beat up the satin black looks great and wears like iron. NOTE: Wear rubber gloves because it won't come off untill it weres off!  Have fun. Now back to trying to figure out this sig.thing????
