Also, as an aside: when I originally detailed my cowl wall over a year ago, I cleaned it off with lac. thinner and scotchbrite. (Some really rusty spots were sandblasted.) and POR-15'd it. I was not happy with the results. It had brush strokes in it. The paint held up fine , but that's why I just stripped it all down and re-did it. Didn't like the brush strokes in it. I know a lot of people swear by the POR-15, but I've never really been thrilled with my results from it. I don't know if others are getting better results than I am, or they are just not as picky?
