here's some of the bits I collected from this forum:
Hey Herbie,
Have you ever used POR 15 paint before ?
If so then I am probably telling you stuff you know so you can stop reading now, otherwise, I have a few tips :
1. Always wear gloves as if this gets on your skin it is there until your skin comes off.
2. Always get paint out of the tin and put it into something else to paint from otherwise the next time you come back to use the tin it will have gone
hard...bad experience ( I found that a syringe works well for small amounts and cost about 30cents from the chemist).
3. Always seal tin lid with glad wrap between the lid and the tin as you are stuffed if the paint dries between the 2.
Not sure if you are going to use Rust preventative as the first coat and then chassis coat over the top, but the chassis coat runs very easily I found
(or I was doing something wrong ).
Anyway, good luck, it is great paint and will make your pan look fantastic !!!
Mark.

pat, i was told that the normal coat (the shiny stuff) fades/discolours with sunlight so it mightn't be the best as a topcoat.
another point. they recomend using thier "marine clean" on the bare surfaces first. i know that i didn't and had a few issues with my
preperation and hence top coat.
thirdly. try using foam brushes when painting with it. i got good results using them. mind you you use alot of brushes, but in this case i put my car
ahead of the enviroment.

I am using this over my entire body shell as I'm going bare metal. I will Metal ready the bare shell, spray the shell in por 15 rust preventative
paint and tie coat it. All body filler will then go over this and then be sealed with another few coats of por 15 rust preventative paint to ensure no
moisture penetration will ever take place (unless of coarse it is scratched.....which this product is pretty hard to scratch when cured). Tie coat
will then go over this and normal priming etc of the body will take place. Will be interesting to see if it goes ok given the additional cost
involved. Being in the tropics you want to be sure of moisture sealing.
