Is it possible to paint over POR-15 and still have a great looking paint job? Or do the body/paint guys just hate this stuff?
I would suppose that you could paint over POR-15 on the inside of the car (under carpets for example) because no one normally worries about a great shining paint job there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) boxsterfan |

it is not uv stable, so it must be topcoated or kept out of the sunlight. |

Not sure I have a recommendation on topside, but for the underside/floorpans/trunkls/etc, they make a primer/topcoat that helps get regular paint to stick to it. Otherwise it's too slick and paint will not adhere.

Or do the body/paint guys just hate this stuff? they make a topcoat primer that's supposed to allow any paint to stick. but (per the instructions i read just last night) you can also hit it with a dust coat of 'regular' paint while the POR is still tacky and that will form a layer new paint can adhere to. |
