POR-15 question

[SW86]

alright ive ordered up a quart and I'm wondering if anybody bought the prep sprays they have or what you did to prep before putting it on? my floorboards are pretty clean so really i was just going to wipe it down with a cleaner, let dry, then apply. is that fine or should i just go on and get the metal ready spray they have? :dunno: thanks

Just wipe it down and apply , that stuff can stick to almost anything .

If any of the surface has clean bare metal it will need to be prep with metal ready to etch it or it won't stick.

Doesn't cost much and it will be worth it.

The prep stuff is actually decent,

I use the 'Marine Clean' for plastics, and it works great (especially good at cleaning the underhood coolant/washer fluid containers).

 

POR-15 defiantly can be used without the prep stuff,

but I will say when it fails to adhere to something, it usually comes off in sheets (like failed powdercoating).

 

I've had one, or two sections of POR-15 fail on me, even after using the prep materials,

so even that's not 100% fool proof.

 

But either way,

the paint is so expensive, compared to the prep materials, it's cheap insurance.
