How many of you guys have used Por 15 on your axles? Looking at that product to use after I clean up new old axles.

Re: Por 15
I used it on my rear axle - learn from my mistake and make sure you clean it extremely well first - their cleaning products work very well though others do too. I got in a hurried mood the day I attacked that project (with the axle still under the vehicle) and my results show my haste. I have always meant to pull the whole axle out and do it right... but never have.
Less is more with that stuff too... thin coats work better than thicker coats. You kind of get the feel for it as you work with it.1970 Bronco

Re: Por 15
X2 on the "use gloves" comment. Also the recommendation to pour small amounts of the stuff into a second container in which to dip your brush is important as well.1970 Bronco

Re: Por 15
I POR 15'd the frame, axels, and the the underside of the body. Made a huge mess but it is amazing stuff. I too recommend using their prep products. They made a good degreaser, prep, and paint kit. The stuff is expensive, but worth it. Another good product is Zero Rust. They are similar but cheaper. And they have a good aerosol paint. And make sure to wear gloves and mask if you have one.

Re: Por 15
Yup. A little surface rust is good bonding material. I put it on clean smooth metal and it was pretty easy to flake off in big chunks. Just not enough for it to grab onto. Needs rough texture. My daughter helped and she had black shit on her hands for three weeks. Mom wasn't happy.sigpic68' 351W ,Nothing stock except transfer case:

Re: Por 15
Love the product. I used the metal etc so I'm hoping my effort pays offs. One downside to staight POR15...its not a top coat so is not UV protected. I top coated with their CHassis Blac POR15 and it seems to be the same product as straight POR 15 but has UV in it. I might just do chassis blac next time.Don't worry about it...its mostly glass...will be fine...

Re: Por 15
My Father-in-law used this stuff by the book, including metal etch, it all peeled off after one year. Not happy at all. Hope maybe it was a fluke for him but I'll never use itLast edited by ThrillHouse; 10-04-2012, 06:16 PM.
