How much Por 15 do I need for my 77 911 ?

To do what? Float it? Paint it? Fill it up? Touch up a rust spot? I would say somewhere between a pint and a 55-gallon drum.

Apologies for pulling your chain, but you do need to be a bit more specific. What are you trying to do with the POR-15? My quart has lasted me for two years now. Your quart might be gone in half an hour.

Yeah , I should have been more specific. I just want to coat the cockpit pan , inside the car . It is rust free now and I want to keep it that way.

A quart would be more than enough, and you'll have some left over for future this-and-thats. A pint would probably do, in fact, if you're just doing the inside. Maybe buy a pint and see if it's enough, if not order another can. Unless you figure that two shipping fees plus the economy of a quart versus pints is a major factor (whcih I probably would).

The stuff keeps very well if you store it in the refrigerator, way in back so the War Department doesn't easily spot it, and seal it well. Put a double layer of Saran Wrap between the can and the lid, else you'll glue the lid in place. Also, don't paint from the can, pour just enough for your use into a catfood can or something of the sort, and don't put any unused POR back into the original can. The less time you leave the original can exposed to the air and humidity, the better; open, pour, close.

The most important thing is that the stuff grips well to a rusty surface, but if there's smooth painted metal remaining, be sure to clean it very thoroughly and rough it up a bit to provide some "tooth" for the paint. POR-15 is incredibly strong, but it will also peel off in [incredibly strong] sheets if it can't stick to the surface,

I'd buy a qt., but 2 pints makes some sense even tho it's more expensive. Once opened, the self life is rather short.

Mine, which as I said I keep in the reefer well-sealed, is several years old, and on the occasions when I open it, there's not the slightest hint of "skin." I think the trick is opening it for seconds at a time.

Thanks guys. I will order some tomorrow.
