Default Re: Paint warning!

Maybe not as easy for undercarriage coatings; but because of high humidity mainly in Spring and Fall, with lots of condensation coupled with a non-air-conditioned garage, FWIW:

Quite a few years back,I prepared and coated the undersides of my Model A Town Sedan fenders and running boards, brake backing plates, brake drums, brake rods, axles, and "entire" under carriage with (2) coats of POR 15 & (2) coats of POR Chassis Black, after providing all metal preparation in strict accordance with POR instructions.

In my opinion, after testing and trying to wear out similar POR coated metal on different metal surfaces with an electrical powered steel wire wheel, this POR 15 coating process is tougher than any paint or coating I have ever experienced.

Always looks like I coated everything yesterday ..... should last quite a few generations.

My other coupe chassis and parts that I coated 20 years ago still look new.
