Referring back to a set of threads that I uploaded back in the summer, when i did the frame under my S-10, once I had chipped and stripped away all the loose rust and klingons, I first applied a coat of SEM Rust Mort and let that dry. Then I applied a good thick coat of POR 15 using both a brush for the tight places and a roller for the flat surfaces. The thing to understand and appreciate about the POR 15 is that it is not a rust killer, it is a rust encapsulater. All this means is that, when applied over a surface, it acts as a barrier between whatever rust might remain on the part and any moisture or oxygen in the air that can promote rust.
After the POR 15 was applied and allowed to set, the next layer was Krylon Antirust black. Although I could have shot this using a jamb gun, I elected to go with aerosol cans; it took 4, 2 for each side.
The final/top coat was Duplicolor semi-gloss black (I think, have to check the paint booth on that one)
Each coat had a day of drying between it and the previous layer, and it and the next layer. If you search for the thread in the NON -G forum, I also included pictures. All the shots were taken in Bay One of my garage and done during the hottest time of the day. To promote drying. I have to emphasize the time lapse between coats. It has to be there to allow each coat not only to flash but to harden. This gave me the best chance of each product "getting along" with the one below and on top of it. Too soon between coats and the possibility arose that the layers, being from different manufacturers, could have reacted poorly to each other and left me having to re-strip and do it again.
