The one thing about por15 that i have come to known is once sprayed and cured, it is verrrrry hard to get off, what I did with mine was take a wire wheel on the end of a drill and hit all the spots to get rid of the surface rust, etc etc. Sprayed one coat of primer and then painted it and cleared it. In my opinion it came out looking good. but if you do decide to do the kit let us know how it turned out and post pics!
