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 used this instead of POR-15, it turned out really good, but it too will yellow unless it has a top coat;

Any idea how much of this it takes to do a rear trunk floor? 200 square feet per gallon sounds like you could probably get by with a pint.

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.

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 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.

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.
