how much POR is needed

[ca1a73]

I want to re do my inner tub with POR. How much is needed? and what kind? I was on their website, and there are so many. Do you roll it on? what about the wheel wells? Roll it on?

one pint is more than sufficient. I did mine with a brush and it looks like it was sprayed.

 

[ca1a73]

any type of brush? paint brush? Do you mix the POR with anything? Was it por-15?

 

[HotWheels]

I use a nice latex brush (one-coater) to avoid hairs and drips. But for general touch ups and smaller parts I use the cheapest one that Ace Hardware carries.

I used POR-15 on my frame. I used less than a quart. That stuff goes a long way. I didn't mix it with anything.

POR-15 on frame, so in the tub should be ok?? Looks like the PO of my bronco did the frame axles in POr, I guess im lucky.

My plan is to POR- over the existing por(some cracking and chips.) the herculine over the POR. carpet the front cab only, leave the back .

i use the foam brushes and buy the assorted pack when the foam starts tearing
i just grab another looks like it is sprayed on as stated earlier

yes you are lucky...cannot go wrong with properly applied POR. All else pales and eventually rusts....

That's a good plan. Prep correctly though!

Can i buy this stuff at a store? or do i need to order it directly through them?

I might consider purchasing a little more than a pint. I use the stuff all the time and I think it may take a little more than a quart if you plan to do the recommended 2 coats and brush the entire inner tub. If it were me, I'd purchase 2 quarts

How do you prep the frame before applying?

im starting with a rusted frame. should i wire brush the thing first? sand blast it? i thought i read somewhere that POR clings to scaley rust best.

 

[PeteO]

also, does one quart do a whole frame? one coat or two??

Sandblasting is Ideal!
I wire wheeled mine with excellent results with my 4 1/2 inch electric grinder (otherwise known as my 2nd saviour).
I would not try to wire brush an entire frame - long, tedious, and difficult. You'll save a lot of work by getting a grinder - IMHO you'll need one anyway for other tasks.

i was goijng to clean everything up and then use herculiner in my interior. does the por-15 look good? i'm never going to have a full top on, so i plan to herculiner the whole thing inside. should i use the por first? i would think that the herc will seal it up just as good. what do you guys think?

If you look in the mass buy section there is a 10% off offer. I just oredered some and chacked around on prices and the mass buy is a good deal. The por15 website is POR15.com if you want some product info.

Just use a wire-wheel to get the scales and loose stuff off. It needs rust to bond properly. Otherwise you have to use a metal prep so it will stick.
