This is excellent to know, I'm about to POR15 the 70 square pan I just
ground all the surface rust off of... I guess I'll have to tone down my
messy as hell application style.

Is there any reason to pull the tarboard off the tunnel and POR15 that as
well?  I figure it's "above ground" level and there won't be much danger of
water settling there.  Though I did notice on this pan when I pulled the old
tarboard off the passengerside floorboards that water had been trapped under
it.

Also, on the undercoating.  Should I melt/torch all that off and POR15 the
underside? (ugh)

Thanks,

I will second the recommendation for brushing on the POR-15.  It self-levels
nicely and leaves a nice smooth finish.  It is not particularily heavy and
could be sprayed.  There are thinning instructions on the can for spraying
if your equipment needs it thinner.  I also was able to fill small pin holes
with it by taping behind them.  For larger holes (1/8" or so) I have
successfully used fiberglass fabric and as a reinforcement for the POR-15 to
fill these in.  It did take a couple of applications to fill in all the
pinholes in the fabric that result.

Also can't be stressed enough.....wear old clothes, gloves, and eye
protection.  The stuff stays around for a long time if you get it on your
skin.  Doubt that it will come out of clothing.
