My buddies and I
have been using POR15 for years fixing vintage motorcycle tanks. The stuff
rocks! We tried the rust product on the seems of a 1970 Ford Bronco and
Truck. Turned the metal into a useable, sandable, sealed foundation. Then we
restored both Trucks. I 'am always in the market for products that work.
Twenty vintage dirt bikes, two vintage trucks and one 1956 Piaggio Ape Vespa,
can't be wrong. Thanks POR15 !!!!!!

I am a constant complainer but I
also give credit where credit is due. So far, your product is working
exactly as you claim. I cleaned and prepared as you indicate and
I applied two coats. The product has dried to a hard covering unlike
any paint or primer I have ever used. I look forward to the next few
years to see if it continues to work as you claim.
Thank you,

I
have repeatedly referred to my use of
POR15 products for sealing chain saw fuel tanks and gear boxes on the
Arborist web site, Chainsaw forum.
A few
others have used your products as well and agree with my assessments.

Dear POR-15,
Your POW-R-LINER
bed-liner is one of the most versatile products of its kind on the market.
It stood up to wear, tear, and abuse in my truck, on my wheel rims, and on
the luggage racks on my ATV. Not to thick, not too thin, easy to
apply, it's the perfect bed-liner (multi-purpose liner!?) around.
Thanks.

Dear POR 15
Just
wanted to say thanks for coming up with such a great product. I used it to
seal up a 68 Camaro that I totally restored for my first son when he
turned 16 and now I’m using on a 69 Firebird that I am restoring for my
second son’s 16th birthday. It’s the only antirust sealer I
will ever use.

Hi,
My names
Joe I’m a maintenance mechanic at a Mfg. co. in NJ. My boss bought a 1952
MGTD a few years back and it needed a little love. One of the problems was
the state of the fuel system, the tank and the sending unit were fouled with
a combination of bad gas and rust. Now the paint on the car was very good
having been previously restored by it’s former owner, but it had sat for
years and the internal workings were fouled ie: the fuel system, and the
brakes etc. If you know what an MGTD is then you would also know that the
fuel tank is mounted on the rear of the vehicle and is painted like the rest
of the cars exterior so “ boiling out the tank “ would mean re-painting and
matching the color which is not so easy to do and is costly as well, so I
suggested using POR 15’s fuel tank cleaning system. It worked perfectly and
really surpassed my expectations, there was no need to re-paint the tank and
the marine clean cleaned the original sending unit so well that I didn’t
need to replace it. So in my situation where the fuel tank is a finished
painted piece POR15 was a perfect fit. I have since used it for several
motorcycle gas tanks and have recommended it to others. Great product and
the MGTD is back on the road , looking and working great!

I have an
issue with the rear quarter panels on my 01 Mazda truck. The panel flares
out just a little in front of the rear wheels so that road debris thrown
up by my front wheels when they turn spray back and take the paint off. I
have tried many products to deal with the rust film that forms. The road
debris would just take these right off. I used the POR15 system in
September of 2010 It is now mid March 2011 after a very harsh northeast
winter and there has been no damage to the POR15 treated areas. I plan to
purchase more POR15 products to treat other areas on the truck. THIS
PRODUCT WORKS.

I have used about 3
gallons of por-15 on & In the frame & the inside & bottom of my
36 dodge silver on the rear end housing & upper & lower A arms
& recommended it to a buddy with a 32 roadster he has used about 2 gallons
thus far
I have learned to
buy in quarts as some has been wasted now but in quarts I will be needing
engine paint soon.

I own a
restaurant service company and we coat the rusted floors of our walk-in
coolers. Your silver POR15 generally last 4 years before needing a re-coat
in a heavy traffic and very harsh environment.

My story with
POR15
I've used your product numerous times since I first discovered POR15 back
when I was in the US Military Stationed in Germany in the late 90's. First
time I used your products were on a 1978 Firebird I restored, I don't
remember everything I bought but i know I used the cleaner's, metal prep and
the black rust coating, best thing was you shipped to an overseas military
APO address, lot's of company's do not do that. My latest project was last
year, I used your products for a very rusted motorcycle gas tank, thanks to
POR15 I was able to remove/clean and coat the inside of this tank that
otherwise would have been useless to me. I have told many other biker
friends how great this products work.
Thanks

I am a member of
clubhotrod.com . We discuss the merits of POR15 all the time, log in there
and search POR15 I’m sure you’ll see many praising your product including me
(stovens) on the site. Great Stuff used it to treat my chassis and floor
pans, and interior sheet metal in my 1948 Ford F1 truck. Thanks, would love
a small bottle to treat the rusty metal on my 1875 Apple press that still is
in use!

I first started to use POR15 several
years ago when restoring my 64 Impala convertible. Because of that
success I've found other uses. I live on the banks of
Lake Erie and we have severe storms.
I coated my rusted iron railings surrounding my lake front deck with great
results. I treated a rusted old family wheelbarrow. I have a "Endless
Pool" whose galvanized steel panels were severely rusted at the base under
the liner, these were also treated which probably saved me from using
"patch panels". Presently I'm doing an old rusty iron park
bench. If it's rusted metal use POR15. Thank you for your great
products.

I used POR15 and loved all your products
including the epoxy putty. Have a car website and would be glad to have you
advertise on the site or become an affiliate and promote POR15 through my
email list.

Dear Por15
I love you more than anything, because
I'm a sculptor who cannot live without you. I invented a method for making
sculpture from painted bronze mesh. In order to 'set' the shape after I
sculpt it I use Por15 and then paint the piece with acrylic. It makes for
very unique works of art which has garnered many awards thru the years
thanks to your wonderful product. Unfortunately the only store which carried
Por15 in Hilo, Hawaii is now gone, so I'm hoping I can order it from you and
have it shipped to me.

Rusted Oil Pan Still OK 3 Years After
POR-15 Coating I did
a POR 15 coating on my rusty oil pan about 3 1/2 years ago. I did a quick
check a month ago when changing my oil. I saw some, what I thought was rust
on the pan. Got under the truck today to do a repair of the POR 15 job and
discovered the rust was some dried up rusty water that left a little orange
on the black coating.
I cleaned the pan with POR 15s cleaner and did a close inspection of the pan
and the coating was 100% intact with it being in the same shape it was when
I put the coating on.
I had some bad rust on the pan 3 years ago and I'm sure with out being
treated, it would have rusted through by now. I'm sold on the POR 15 process
and would like to urge everyone with a 7.3 to check their oil pans and get
the rust stopped before its pan replacement time. $1800-$2000 job. I think I
paid about $20 or so for the kit. Took me about 3 hours to do.

I have a Kohler powered Gravely tractor,
which had a rusty fuel tank. Replacement tanks are rare and quite expensive,
so I decided to use POR-15 tank sealer rather than pay for another tank. It
has been well over 10 years ago and the tank is better now than it was when
new. Similarly, on the snow blower attachment, I had some surface rust and
the impellers had been stripped of paint by 30 years of ice, gravel and wear
from snow. I painted the rusty and bare areas with POR-15. After surface
prep as in your instruction sheets, then painted over it with polyurethane
paint. Five years later, it still looks the way it did the day I finished
it.
Thank you for a great line of products that do as advertised.

I
have a 1971 Ford F-100, 20,698 miles, which sat in a barn in Indiana for a
while. There were no real major issues for the truck when I purchased it,
but the surface rust on the underneath, from the cab backward, required
attention. I attacked it with sandblasting, Metal Ready, Marine Clean, and
POR-15. I am currently dismantling the front portion to clean and paint with
either POR-15 or POR-15 Classic Black paint. So far it is an excellent
marriage for the truck. I am very pleased with the results and will use
those products to finish it out.
What
I really need is a long, flexible sprayer device (hose with small spray
nozzle) for getting into support channels under the truck and truck bed.
Some places just can’t be painted with spray cans, daubers and brushes. So
far, nobody has invented such a device, that I know of. An longer 18-inch
tube that would connect to a spray can might work.
Actually, I provided a statement similar to the one above, posted at My
Garage at the forum you visited.

I'm a big fan of your products. I had the
opportunity to tell someone about it in an auto parts store the other day.
They are doing a frame up restoration on an old truck. I told them I swear
by the stuff, brought the guy outside to show him my truck. He was sold
after seeing how clean my frame is after two salty Vermont winters. Again,
great product! I wish I could have my entire truck painted in POR15, then
painted with normal paint again. I don't think I'd ever have to worry about
rust. Liam F.

I have used the por15 paint on my restoration project. I'm
using it to paint my trunk, floor pans, and other body parts. This stuff is
amazing and the only product that I will use on my car. I also use the fuel
preservative, metal prep and marine products. It is turning my old rusty
1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Hardtop from ashy to classy.
