POR-15 horror.

I pulled the interior out of my 68 GTS to look at the floor pans. Very nice shape, but had some surface rust, so I decided to paint them with POR-15.

After doing the job, it was starting to get dark out, and I dont have electricity in my garage, so I cleaned up and left.

The next day, I went into the garage, and much to my horror, saw a large splash (about 4-6 inches across) of POR-15 running down my door. I realized that in the dim light, I must have tilted the can a little when getting out of the car, and the liquid around the rim of the can had poured down onto the door.

So anyway, I was really pissed, because the paint is fairly new and still pretty nice. Not knowing what else to do, I experimentally scratched the dried POR-15 with my fingernail, and some of it came off. The paint underneath looked unharmed, so I grabbed a razor blade and worked it under the splotch. Carefully, I lifted the POR-15, and slowly pulled it off. It came off in one big piece, leaving the paint underneath unharmed.

Must have been the wax that kept it from bonding, but makes me wonder just how well it protects the metal it is applied to, if the metal already has paint on it.
