Por-15 awesome product! Requires additional products...marine clean and metal ready. It is not UV resistant and will chaulk over time and is used in the automotive restoration industry for things like chassis, frames,... I topcoated with a poly urethane for substrates that were not under the chassis.

Yes. This is 2 hours after application. Have to let it cure 48 hours before I can paint. It continues to get more black.

I just use roll bar and frame paint that comes in a rattle can after treating rust.

Same question as above. Also, if you have cool recommendations on how to paint the differential another color/design, that would be cool. Any ideas?

Do you just spray until the cows come home? Coat everything and anything?

For the most part if it came black from the factory I spray it. Anything more would look tacky. Again, I treat any signs of rust first with reformer. I also did the frame internal with Eastwood.
