I sandblasted the metal, used metal prep and marine clean before applying
3-4 coats of POR-15 to my beetle.  I accidentally hit it once with a Dewalt
grinder with a braided wire wheel at full speed.  It barely dulled the
POR-15.

I ended up covering the POR-15 in the wheel wheels with the nice 3m stuff
(body shutz maybe???).  Don't know how well the stuff will stick to the
POR-15, but I had to do it.  The front left wheel well was messed up because
the parts place gave me the part and the body guy couldn't get the metal
perfect and had to use a small amount of bondo (Note:  SMALL amount, all
other wheel wells where 100% metal, no skim coat).

So, I did all the wells with the body shutz to make the match.
