[DeTomaso] Rust - does it go away?

[Erik Anderson]

The procedure for using POR-15 goes something like this ...

1) Use Simply Green, Marine Clean, and scrapers and brushes to get all dirt and grease off the metal surface. 

2) Use Metal prep to etch the surface. I found this step to do little, but I did it anyway. 

3) Paint on the POR-15 (with brush). 

4) Paint on Chassis coat. This is good for exposed surfaces (frame rails, inner fenders, under coat) but not required for interior metal. 

After a full season of driving - around 4500 miles and, yes, a few times in the rain - my POR-15 still looks like new. If I wanted to remove it, I am not sure how I would do so without using a grinder. I even painted a little bit on my under body (without cleaning the surface) and it held just fine. 

That's just the truth according to me, however.

Hi Erik,

Are you painting POR-15 like they say too? I bought all there cleaners and
acid. It still did not hold well on clean metal. It was looking for a better
"tooth". If you paint it on top of paint it dose nothing to seal the metal.

I have a friend that was working on the painting crew (truck driver)
painting the "Big Mac" bridge in Mi. They spend big $ on that project. It
does not last very long. You would think they would use POR-15 if it lasted
longer...

Do some research on POR-15.

I used it for some non-rusted areas last winter: inner rear fender
walls, frame rails, engine-side firewall, etc.  It is killer shit.  

This winter (I'm Canadian, eh), I am planning on doing my cabin-side
firewall, floor pans and doors.  A nice coating of Dynamat (actually, I
use B-Quiet) and you have a rock solid rust-inhibited beauty that will
last several more decades.  I am even considering splashing POR-15 over
my entire under-body - just because ...

Best of luck,
EA

In general:  if you have a rusted piece of metal, and you take it from
the wet area, does the rust continue to form and eat away the good
metal?
Same question, but a piece of wood?
Same question, but Black Mold in your home?
