Before:


After:


Its only junk if you don't do the prep right. And yes the prep is killer but like all things you get out of it what you put into it. I can hammer, and wipe down with Lacquer thinner any of those surfaces, try that with anything else short of powder coat.

I am planning on doing my floors too and I'll use the same 10c foam brushes from OSH to do so with Por-15 + Chassis black.

As far as the prep goes, get as much as possible off down to bare metal if you can. Get the metal as clean as you can, use Marine Clean then Metal ready, then apply Por-15. I can't stress "as clean as possible" enough. Repeat cleaning steps at least 2-3 times to make sure you have a clean surface. Even the slightest oil and Por-15 won't stick / bond.

If POR-15 is junk -- I sure wish someone would come get that junk off my concrete floor 'cause I can't!!

Here is the cageI did with por 15

before



And after



I did all the steps, and yes it took a long time.

I did not care for it so much on larger flat surfaces. I had a hard time getting it as smooth as I would have liked without spraying. I only used it on large flat areas where it wouldn't be seen or would be covered. It did self level very nicely on the bars. Maybe with some more practice the flat areas would have looked better.

I would wear a filtered face mask, also you get that stuff on you it will be there for a while. It is good stuff though.
