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. >>
I've got to agree, as I'm not impressed with it either. The only thing I've
had good luck with it on is my buddy's trailer, and we did that step by step
thru the instructions. I've gotten to the point where if I'm sandblasting
something, I'll coat it in automotive epoxy primer (PPG's DP series). I don't even
have any POR 15 around here anymore, that's how unsatisfied with it I am. For
brake drums, I just normally use a spray bomb for them, as I've had good luck
with that. I don't even sandblast them, just wire brush the loose flaky rust
off, and bomb away. : )
