After getting the crate home the first thing I noticed was that the rear brake drums I sandblasted, and gave 2 coats of POR 15 to were covered with a thin layer of rust! Since I did the best I could to prepare the surface by getting all the rust OFF, and the following the directions with TWO coats, I have to conclude that with Cast parts anyway the POR 15 is a miserable failure. Im a bit concerned about what I see when I crawl underneath and check the pan part I did but I rather expect that it works better on stamped steel where it seems to have done OK in the past. Im going to switch to the Eastwood product this year, if my trailer says its OK as that is the test bed for the eastwood stuff.
