So.... POR 15 metal ready sucks at preventing flash rust. Even in a garage that is ok at sealing.
Spraying a two part epoxy primer is out, and my pans are going to be bare metal for a while since I have to remove the cross brace in the pan and the center tunnel to attack the rust in there. Is epoxy primer available in cans? I need to prevent the metal from flashing and rusting agian while this is done so I can do it all with por 15 excepting the area where the brace/center tunnel mates with the pan, which of course will be weld through primer. Also any reccomendations on a good weld through primer? U-pol I hear is the best and worth every penny vs 3m or the others? Thoughts? |

My tub sat as bare metal for 4 months. Granted they were the cold months when the moisture is frozen out of the air.
When I started painted the following spring, I just went over the entire car with a DA sander and 200 grit paper to remove any flash rust that formed. As humid as it has been lately, this may not work for you. Zach |
