Hi guys,
I just purchased a few cans of POR-15 to put on my frame and I have some questions...
1. I know that I have to scrape off the flaky rust with a wire brush to prep the frame. Once the POR-15 is put on, do I have to paint over it with regular paint? Or should I put multiple coats on once the first coat dries?
2. I was not going to touch the good parts of the frame, but is it worth me painting over the good parts of the frame too just to put a layer of rust protection on there? I am not sure if it is worth putting POR-15 over the original black paint unless the POR-15 will seal the frame for good. What do you think?
3. My tub isn't rusty but the seams are showing a little surface rust. Similar to the question above, is it worth painting the under side of the tub to seal it from rusting? or is that a waste of paint?
thanks.
Dan
