Question source for POR

There are a couple of spots that I want to get sealed up since the completed body work. I understand that POR is what I need to do the job. But where do you get it? Is it a commonly available or do I need to go to a body shop supply source?

Thanks,
Tom

Good stuff. Try the starter kit, it includes everything except a spray bottle for smaller jobs.

I have found that POR 15 dries much faster on wet humid days. I know this sounds weird but it must be due to some chemical reaction.

Not weird at all. Even the instructions mention that water accelerates the process.

I had a few spots and ordered the "trunk/floor" kit for $120. 3 nights ago I sprayed the "cleaner" on there and let it soak per the instructions. The next morning (6:30 AM...i was excited) before work I did the first coat "silver". After work I started messing with the putty they include...this stufff is unreal! I applied it to the spots I wanted, then more and more and more til I had expended half the bars that it came with. Within one hour it was dry and I applied the second coat "black". Yesterday morning I came out to decide if I should take car to work (dry?, etc) the stuff was like steel! Seriously! So then I got excited and took screwdriver and tried to poke the putty part...didn't even make a scratch! I really was jamming it (stupid i know) and nothing would hurt it. This stuff is great! From what i understand i have to put the final "chassis black" coat on or it turns purple but i really don't care right now. Tom email me privately, don't buy the whole kit i will tell you what to get... (don't need cleaner, fiberglass, etc).

Hey master, what's the story on your sportomatic? Find out what the problem was? Don't make me drive all the way up there to find out.

So which cars sells first ?

A car that advertises it has had some Bondo applied in a few locations ?

or


A car that advertises Por 15 applied ?


And don't take me wrong on this as I love Por 15 products.

Well, hopefully the $$$$$ paint job I just got where they used POR on every seam as a preventative will get a better review than the bondo car.
