Has anyone sprayed POR-15 with a HP ow volume air-compressor powered sprayer?
Did you have to thin it? What did you use? And finally, how did it come out? Thanks, |

I remember a thread a LOOOOOONG time ago where Brad mentioned he sprayed POR 15 on some cars a while back. Maybe when he gets back into circulation he can tell you how he did it.....

Yep. I've sprayed it. POR-15 sells a special thinner to use.
It came out okay. Nicer than brushing it. -Rusty |

Dave...
Does it say what the solvent has in it? I think the difference is that it's a slow eveporating solvent (4-6 hrs) unlike Naptha which is very fast. Does it have any ingredients listed? Thanks! No need to spray the inside of your buckets.. I blackened them up with finger prints! |

Its down in my garage, so gimme a minute. You're supposed to use lacquer thinner for clean up, if that helps any (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

por-15 is critical about moisture. spraying on a humid day might screw it up?

Okay.. so what do I do in hot and humid Florida?
I tried it this weekend, actually, with some Naptha, and it worked alright. After 2 hours of drying, I topcoated it with some black urethane (bumper paint). It came out looking good (foglight housings). Regards, Karl |
