Anyone used POR15 Hardnose or Sterling Silver paints ?
I've been following various threds in this area regarding paints - saw some info on POR15 and looked at the stuff on their website. They also do a
range of paints called Hardnose (various colours) and Sterling Silver (which is, naturally, silver). I'm now getting to the point where the panels on
the buggy need to be sprayed, and am wondering about the Hardnose and Sterling top coats and whether anyone's used them ?
What I'm after is paint that'll take pretty much anything that's going to gert thrown at it, easy to touch up (if necessary) and can be sprayed
without the need of a nuke suit and full pro paintshop ventilation (although obviously a mask will be used). I'm not looking for an award winnning
showroom finish, 1) coz I'm not that good with a spray gun and 2) coz it ain't necessary, this will after all be a race car, not a show car.
Any ideas/recommendations will be gladly accepted
The attached shows something along the lines of what I'm thinking about (original photo with a bit of Paintshop Pro added over the top) in terms of
colour

Thanks for the info Andy and the comment on the colourscheme - spent many hours "playing" with various patterns/colours and I'm still not
convinced, but it's the scheme of the moment.
I'm not sure that rustbullet's really what I'm after, as the bodywork's fibreglass and aluminium, and that's what I'm trying to paint, and,
given it's composition, rust shouldn't be a problem. Or, are you suggesting that applying rust bullet as a psuedo primer and then enamel or
something similar as a top coat would have the same hard-wearing chip resistant finish ?
