POR 's Finish, How dose it Dry
 

POR 's Finish, How dose it Dry


I Am about to paint bumpers and Roll bar black. I understand that POR is a
hard almost powder coat finish. In the past I have felt that Rattle can pain
scratches and peals to easily.

So is POR Hard? Is it Flat or Mat Finish? Or more of a Hammered?

The POR 15 that I have used had a gloss finish, but I believe it is
available in flat and semi-gloss versions as well. Be advised that UV
light will cause POR to deteriorate, so it has to be topcoated with a
regular paint in any event if it is to be exposed to sunlight.

yes the primer will lose it's solid color but not it's protection. The
color will lighten and may show signs of blemishing. It is a little hard to
rub off but will scratch. It has some bite to it and sticks to a good
surface!
The POR-15 topcoat that I applied to my trailer seems to either rub off or
erode away leaving the primer exposed.

You might do better with an epoxy type paint, but POR-15 might be easier to
apply.
I would use POR-15, but that is me! lol

good luck!

I have failed to topcoat in the past and the POR itself eventually
deteriorates to the point where it goes away entirely.
