Thread: Anyone use por 15 to paint their frame?

Tweet

I used it on my bush bumpers for my Jeep TJ where they're exposed to a lot of abuse and gravel being shot up on the roads. It does fade if you just use the regular black stuff but it is strong as heck. The day after I painted it I had to use a steel hammer to get the front bumper lined up on the mounts and it didn't even scuff it. I've had it for about a year and a half.

I used it on new metal that was ground clean and I thinned it with acetone, just like they say not to but it was all I had and didn't really care. I can snap a picture of it later.

I also used it on the rusty parts of my car that I couldn't get at and then covered it with a tie-coat primer they have so you can paint or epoxy prime over it otherwise it won't stick. I haven't got my car done yet so I can't tell you how it would hold up.

From all the reading I did about it, it seems most of the body guys suggested Zero Rust instead. I've never used it though.

The pictures are the tie coat then epoxy.
