Wow that looks great! It's so fresh, I could swear I could smell that paint. Downhill slide you are on.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
went through this entire build. very impressed and hope to be as good as yourself with sheet metal one day. one question though, what did you use to prep the axle housing for the POR15? i ordered some for my frame but all the info about prep for it i've found is about rusted metal not clean raw steel. thanks in advance sir.
also what types of brushes would you recommend? any additional tips/tricks you have for the painting process please share.

Good call on the gloves and the foil. If you get POR-15 on your bare skin, that stuff will stay on forever.
I also agree with Bluejeep's suggestion about using throwaway cheapie brushes, too. You'll kill a good brush because you can't clean the POR-15 out no matter what you use.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Went back and added some comments to the pics.
Blue Jeep is right. The "Metal Ready" prep product leaves a zinc phosphate coating for better adhesion. I'd also recommend scuffing up smooth metal with something like heavy steel wool. I've had POR15 peel off from super clean/smooth metal even with all the prep they recommend. DO NOT use dollar store foam brushes. I'd say don't use any foam brushes. They can shed little foam particles and leave a terrible finish. A cheap bristle brush works fine. The brush strokes will level out if you don't keep going back over it. |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I got the POR-15 on my elbow doing a trunk pan, NOTHING would take it off. I wore it for 2-3 weeks.
BTW- How far are you from putting the Beam on the street?

Any time. Another tip: Do at least two coats. I just did a second coat on the rear. |

BTW, I showed the POR15 can so you can see my method for opening and resealing with two screws. I never remove the lid. Works awesome.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Seems like a good idea, the only question I have is POR recommends stirring before every use, what's your innovative solution for that (asking because I know you have one )?

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
My old boss (who sells POR15 on the side....he's into Studebakers) told me the same method. Seems to work good.

Shake it up in the can and stir the portion you put in another container.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I've never used any POR products. I understand it's Paint Over Rust right? So, I'm wondering how well it adheres to bare metal? I know you said you scuffed it good. How durable is this stuff? I have been using rusteoleum products on my frame and it scratches pretty easy. I think it's acrylic enamel?
I assume that stuff is pretty thin too if you can pore it out of a screw hole? Keep up the pictures and great information. |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Started bending up brake lines (no pics just yet). Came to the conclusion that a decent double flare tool will be more than justified for this project, not to mention future use. So I have the Rigid 345-DL kit on the way.
With the brake system on the mind, I ordered an adjustable prop valve which will be mounted for cockpit accessibility. Also ordered the POR-15 fuel tank seal kit. Since I did weld on it I figured better now than later after being stranded by a clogged fuel filter... |

I can't believe I am just now finding this build thread. This is one of the most impressive build I have seen. I have always thought the S2000 motor would be a good donor for any rear wheel small car. I commend you on your work. Wow.
