por15

[67RED]

i was wondering about the por15 does it come in colors or is it just like a clear coat. i have removed all paint from the grill on my 67 and was wondering if i sould use this. i want to go back with the ivory color.

You could try your local parts stores.

I know here one of our stores carries it. If they don't have it on the shelf they will order it.

If you stripped all the paint off your grille, you might want to use an epoxy primer as a first coat. I think you can get that in a spraycan - probably at a parts store that carries autobody supplies. Either 'epoxy primer' or 'self-etching primer' is probably your best bet. Then you can get the Wimbledon White in the 'Truck and Van Paint' line of paints for the finish coat.

I don't think you'd want to use POR-15 on the grille, unless you have the proper color to topcoat it with at the same time. POR-15 by itself is sensitive to ultraviolet light, and within a week or two will turn kinda flat/chalky. For an exterior finish like what you'd want, you'd have to topcoat it (with a gun or rattlecan) while the POR-15 is still tacky, since the paint ain't gonna stick once the POR-15 dries. (Well, unless you do a lot of sanding....but it's some hard stuff!)

I think you'd be happier by priming/painting it just like any other exterior body panel.

thanks a lot for the help guys. looks like it would be best to just prime and paint it.

They also sell a "tie-primer" that you can put over the Por15 whether it's wet or dry and then topcoat with any paint. It's in their catalog. They also sell filler, seam sealer etc.
