Just a note, don't use POR-15 anywhere the sun
shines on it unless you are topcoating. POR-15 is great stuff, and I use it, but
it degrades in the sun. Also, I know a few people who have sprayed POR-15 with
success.

POR 15 does not need a top coat can not be sprayed. Use foam
brushes and throw away. I have used both and the Eastwood products need more
prep to look good if you won't see the end result but want protection go with
POR 15.

Thanks Eddie. I was looking at
the Devilbiss (sp?) spray guns because they say that you can spray upside
down with their gravity feed guns as long as you use the cup liner. I would
imagine that being able to spray upside down is important when doing an
undercarriage. Is there a reason that most people seem to use gravity feed
rather than suction feed? Do you get a more uniform flow of paint or is it a
price issue?
I also read that you get what
you pay for with these guns, and if you want to do good quality exterior
paint work, don't buy any gun under $200, but if you are just doing
undercarriage and/or industrial surfaces, guns around $100 are fine.

Yes, eastwood has what
you need. Im doing the frame and the underside now. They have spray cans in
everthing. But I prefer the sraygun. Goodluck Eddie Bumgarner 66ss conv.

I am going to be pulling the fuel tank
out of the '70 this weekend, and as
much as possible I want to clean up
the underside and paint it with
corroseal as I work on the car.
Corroseal is a primer that turns rust into
magnetite. It is similar to
POR-15 but it's water based and non-toxic (and
it can be sprayed). Do you
guys have any recommendation for a topcoat? I
don't have spray
equipment, so something that would flow nicely from a brush
would be
ideal. Otherwise I do have a compressor and I could buy a
spray
gun...
Thanks
