Por-15

Howdy Y'all

So i searched around for painting bumpers, and ive read about this por-15 product

I really like the sound of it and i think i'll go with it instead of powder coating my bumpers.

But how much paint is required to paint a rear tube from Trail Gear and a front from badland do you think? as at ~150$ a gallon, that gets expensive!!!

who has used this product? do you like it? or suggest anything else?

Bird check out Rustbullet instead of por-15, pro's to long to list, but looks like a better product to me.

You could pick up one of the small 6-packs, I think they have a mix-n-match option. I find I can prime a couple of pairs of sliders with a little 6 oz. can or POR-15 primer and do maybe half a dozen pairs with a qt. of top coat (2 coats).

I use KBS coatings: http://www.kbs-coatings.com/

Very similar to POR-15. A quart goes a LONG WAY. Use a foam brush instead of a regular brush.

If you're painting clean metal, there's no real advantage to these products, however, if you're painting over rust, they are priceless.

A quart did pretty much my entire frame.

Hmm, ok

I think i might just rustoleum paint it, and just touch it up every so often when it needs it...

Because if i keep that up, it probably wont find a way to get rusty, as TC said, it is painting clean metal!
