       I have used POR-15 quite extensively on my British car restoration
jobs.  I have had mixed results.  It seems that on some types of metal it
does not want to bond.  You must follow all the instructions on how to apply
this stuff.  YOU MUST WEAR GOOD RUBBER GLOVES !  It cannot be cleaned off
your hands after it sets up.  It'll take weeks for it to wear off.  If you
use and spray equipment, clean it up IMMEDIATELY after use or you'll be
trashing your spay gun.  IF the POR-15 makes a good bond to the surface you
apply it to than you got some good long lasting protection.  The surface
becomes very hard and close to impervious to scratching.  Always a good idea
to top coat it with a normal paint for added protection as POR-15 is
ultraviolet light sensitive.  Even when used under the car I've top coated it
just to be on the safe side.
