First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Thanks, Bob and Hugo. I used POR on the bird (trunk floor), but it is in my nature to check into everything further (and get too many--and opposing--opinions). And I needed to order more POR, so read everything on their website when I went to order. They (the POR 15 company) want you to use the wash and the metal prep even for painting over rust. I didn't on the bird. But that metal isn't seeing rain at all in the garage (in pieces).
By the way, I must be crazy with an unfinished project in the garage, but I feel a little jealous when I hear of someone on the list getting another bird. (I know, just finish the project!) Thanks all, Dan 68 Sprint Convertible Subject: Re: [FGF] RE: POR 15 Question From: "hugot" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 12:04:28 -0800 POR 15 likes rust to grab on to. You need to wire brush the loose stuff but don't take away the solid rusty surface. The marine prep is to remove any oil or dirt. The metal prep is for good clean metal and it gives it a nice place for POR 15 to bite into (since there is no rust there to grab onto). The stuff basically encapsulates everything and keeps any oxygen from reaching those areas so it stops rust from going any further. I used it on the chasis and axles on a 23 Model T as well as the trunk of a 41 Pontiac and they came out really nice.
