What kind of surface does this product leave? Is it smooth like a normal paint or is it like a rhino lining type of texture?

I remember someone said silver will fade to a yellowish-gold. The context was that it was painted on a roll bar, and the exposure to the sun faded it.

POR's website says direct exposure to the sun requires some post application treatment.

I did both the entire engine bay and rear trunk (about 2 or 3 coats worth) with a quart of POR-15 and had a little left over. So I'm sure a pint would be enough. It dries very glossy if on a smooth surface. Parts of my floor pan actually look like they have a pool of water on them because of the POR-15 paint look. But when the paint is exposed to the sun it loses its glossy-ness and gets flat black looking. QUOTE Where does one buy Por15? /end I found some at an automotive paint supply store. |

yeah they are in indiana-ok close to me- and ship super fast. Last time i bought some it was around $30 a quart. WILL require uv protectant coating if in direct sunlight. I did the bottom of my teener and undercoated over that- and the floor pans.

i bought a gallon of it and had enough to do two floor pans. still had two quarts left that i donated to MattR and Skline. i think MattR used his. I bet Skline put it on his fruit loops.

I bought the four pack, 1/4 pint each can, I opened each one as I needed them, I think there is a shelf life once its been opened. |

QUOTE I think there is a shelf life once its been opened. Yes buy the pints in a 6 pack and open them as needed. Dont open the larger containers unless you have a large area to cover, the leftover stuff will set up like a rock in a closed container. Storing it in the fridge helps prolong the life of opened and resealed containers. Also dont get any on your hootus |

I bought mine from www.rustymetalpaint.com. Free shipping for orders over $100, so I went with them. They're pushing new(?) products from KBS Coatings (www.kbs-coatings.com) and they gave me an 8oz can of Rustseal to try. Will report on the difference after I've tried both products.
