<x-charset iso-8859-1>Quick question, Does this mean I have to remove all paint from the pan, or will the metal ready take care of that?

This is so incorrect. POR15 directions state that rusted or sandblasted metal is best (surfaces with "tooth") to paint w/POR15. Smooth metal should be treated with "Metal Ready" before paining with POR15. Metal Ready is an etching solution w/zinc phosphate. BTW, I'm using POR15 products with my restoration efforts. The stuff is AMAZING. It self levels when brushed on and dries hard as rock. I was attempting to install the pedal assembly in my Square, when I dropped my ratchet wrench onto my newly POR15'd floorpan (which was stripped to bare metal and treated with metal ready). I thought "damn, there's the first chip." NOT. I couldn't find a scratch, let alone a chip. The stuff is incredible. No, I don't work for the company. :) Hope this dispels any myths.
