Given this former Cali car is coming up on 50 years and probably not always taken good care of, I am lucky to have this level or rusting. I went after it with Ospho, wire brush and clean rinse. Will be applying POR 15 to this area. Question: my gut tells me the well adhered tar is sound and is not hiding any rusting. |

Por 15 is trash.
You’re on the right track but once it’s all clean then epoxy primer then body color. Por 15 is well marketed junk just like k&n air filters which is another rabbit hole. |

I have wondered that for years. A year or so ago I bought a couple pint containers and go between POR or basic oil based DTM from the corner hardware store. Funny how us Americans are easily sold a bill of goods by the marketing folks. I have some epoxy primer that I am using on the entire body after paint removal. Does anything stop the rust in it's tracks, my thought is to keep it sealed and dry. |
