Por-15 frame prep?
I bought some Por-15 that Im going to brush onto my frame. What does it take to degrease and clean it all. Where can I buy some degreaser that will really work and maybe some metal etcher too? Do I need to do all of this? I read on the website but dont really want to buy the prep stuff from them. Thanks for help.

go to the dollar store or supermarket buy the cheapest oven-cleaner they have spray it on wait an hour spray some more on let it sit another half hour or so and either pressure wash it or use a hose on it and you'll be ready to paint

after doing what cdowns said, i also used a wire brush on a grinder to remove all the loose rust. I used por15 after that and painted and clearcoated the frame, its help up great so far. good luck!

What about paint that is still on the frame? Does it really need to be removed?

I second the oven cleaner trick. I sprayed 2 heavy coats about an hour apart on my 250 motor that was completely black from grease, then let it sit over night before spraying with a hose. I only needed to do some touch-up cleaning in the hard to reach areas, and the motor looks new.
Por-15 needs rust to fully bond, so just use a wire brush to knock off the loose scale before using this stuff. Wear rubber gloves and a vapor mask as the stuff is a carrcinogin, alao will not come off of skin for several weeks. |
