The Por-15 went on without a hitch. I am letting it dry for now then I will move it in.... I have some small parts to do also...

Looks great. Seems to be a good way to go. Think i'm going to try to do mine.

2ndCIB · 08-17-2008, 03:50 PM

where did you get the dash?!?

mikeoj · 08-17-2008, 05:23 PM

Just curious,how did you mix the por to spray,and what size tip?Thanks

sierragrande71 · 08-17-2008, 05:55 PM

Looks very nice!! I have a spare SWB leaf spring frame and I intend to use POR-15 on it also. GOODJOB!

70C10Step · 08-17-2008, 06:39 PM

Got the dash from summit racing on clearance for $60.00. I bought the gauges from summit also. I used a harbor freight spray gun and I will check the tip size. The Por-15 came ready to shoot. Got it from a guy off of ebay who has a decent price. I used a quart for good coverage...

myoldchevytruck · 08-17-2008, 07:32 PM

Frame looks real nice.

byrd · 08-17-2008, 09:52 PM

The frame looks FABULOUS!! I hope you wore a self cantained breathing apparatous(sp) when shooting the por 15. That is some really bad stuff and will do severe damage to your lungs if the proper measures are not taken to prevent inhalation of the vapors.

For anybody thinking of shooting it, please take the time to read the truck safety FAQ about por 15 and follow all the labels instructions for needed PPE.

Longhorn Man · 08-17-2008, 10:02 PM

I agree with byrd 100000%
This is not the time to call the directions another man's opinion.

Cyclone44 · 08-17-2008, 10:23 PM

Nice job...

70C10Step · 08-18-2008, 01:03 AM

Thanks!!! Yes we made sure to take the proper steps to protect our lungs. Trust me being in the military we get this drilled into our heads.

**Hart_Rod** · 08-18-2008, 12:04 PM

Frame looks great! You gottal love how the POR15 lays out. I've done my last 3 frames like that.

We shot the por 15 straight from the can with a standard HVLP gun with a 1.4 needle. Although they do make reducer if you feel they need to thin it but the idea is to lay it on thick.

MrBeast · 08-18-2008, 07:09 PM

That does look pretty damn sharp. Looks like you have a great foundation going for your project there.

ShowSS12 · 08-19-2008, 12:32 AM

wow thats shot with a gun? I need more infor? Dose it have to thinned? I have also seen Rustolum thinned ans sprayed and it looks real nice a smooth.....

70C10Step · 08-19-2008, 12:53 AM

Yes my buddy is pushing me along on this project since it is my first Chevy project. I am thinking it is going to be fun build!!!

shovelhead · 08-19-2008, 07:27 AM

Thanks, I hope I can capture most of my build to share! Right now I am trying to decide between my stepside bed and the fleet bed I picked up. The fleet requires some bodywork. Next on my scope is to get the frame rolling with suspension parts.

I just finished reading your build thread and I am really liking the engine selection etc... I think I am on the hunt for this combo...

Willys47 · 08-19-2008, 10:13 AM

I think I'm sold on the pro 15 now, that is how I will do my frame for sure.That looks great!!!

You will be more than happy with the results. This is my second project that I have used it on and both times I had no problems.

What kind of prep did you do on your frame? I love how smooth it looks and was wondering how you did it.
Thanks

I went to the local $$$ Store and bought some oven cleaner. i got the idea from someone on this site. I sprayed the engine down with the cleaner and it started cooking the dirt and grease... I power washed it and it was clean.... The process really worked well...

**special-K** · 08-20-2008, 05:55 AM

So,the Por-15 doesn`t need to go onto bare metal?You can just shoot it over the old paint?

Taken from the Por-15 site, they say use it to coat rusty frames, floor pans, farm equipment, marine equipment, or even a heavily corroded battery tray. It has always worked great for me.
