Por

Is everybody still using POR or is there anything out there new that will hold up as well. Really can't afford to get everything powdercoated.

Re: Por

POR is still the best I've used. A good two-part epoxy is a close second, but you'll need a gun, compressor, and the components add up quickly.

I wound up powder-coating everything... the batch of "all brackets and pulleys and everything I could find" was $300, the frame and control arms and suspension (even discs and drums) was $900. Sounds like a lot but POR-15 isn't exactly cheap either when you're using it by the gallon.
