Oh damn!!!! I was under impression that epoxy primer was the chit!!! I honestly had no idea it was so porous and the local paint supply was telling me it seals. I am assuming that the moisture it allows in due to its porosity will affect the 911 chassis like the tubes? I was considering this as an interim as I sporadically had spare time to work the rust patches.

Love the filter selfie!!! I’m guilty of the same shot, lol [emoji23][emoji2957]
This of course, was before I invested in the 3M full face mask that seals all facial skin from the nasties… as well as a head to toe Tyvek hazmat coverall.
