Does anyone know if POR-15 will damage electrical wiring? I am preping to POR my entire cockpit floor board and am wondering if I need to avoid the wire harness running down the center of the floor toward the engine or if I can paint right over it.
thought I would check here before I call them directly thx |

Personally, I would avoid doing this...If you EVER have to remove the wiring harness,
I would think you would be screwed..i.e. you would end up having to either rewire, or get a new harness completely.... But that is just MHO... Thom |

Why do people always wanna cut corners when they're doing resto / repair stuff to their cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
It would be very little extra effort now to do the job right, nice and clean If you don't you'll regret it for as long as you own the car, and you will be the famous DPO once you sell it... cheers, Jeroen |

To answer your question, NO it will not damage your wiring.
Now wasn't that easy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

but, think of this. POR dries very hard....so moving it or taking it out at a future date will probably crack it if you paint the entire harness. Likewise if you are tracing anything you'll loose the ability to look at the different colors cause you'll have a nice coat of POR over the entire thing. I'd move it around and paint around it if you don't want to take it out.

Thanks all for the input <_<
I hadn't considered that POR would make the harness unaccessible. But I have no desire to remove and 30+ year old harness - could be just asking for trouble. will work around it thx |
