but the 15 stuff is still more to my likeing.

T-Man, great idea for the welding wire, But why don't you fab up a mount for that ten pound wire reel on the back of your welding kart an drill a small hole to feed the wire through. Use what you got now to weld up the mount.

You can refill smaller spools...
Use a couple of bolts and washers ....Use 2 washers and a bolt and use the smaller and place that in a electric drill .. Use the second bolt and washer for the bigger spool and have mounted to something and use the washer and the nut to keep tension on the the bigger spool... oh use a thick glove to control the wire as it spools up ....

I made a custom made bumper for myself and use por15 with chassis coat for uv protection.... This stuff hates an kind of smooth surface when painted on.. I knotted wired bush my bumper to get ready for paint and which in turned made the surface clean and smooth.. So after a little while of the paint drying the stuff would just peal off like nothing .. So always make the surface is rough so the paint can grip...

Yep that why I say let it rust for for awhile a few pages back. Or sand blast. I like to sand blast and then let rust for a week.

TR did you use the chemicals that come with the POR15? The 3 step process.

I bought everything online from quadratec
1-gal-marine cleaner
1-quart-chassis coat
1-quart- por15

I should of etch the metal with phos but didn't , my bad but i have learned my lesson..

 

[T-man]

does the por15 company make any flat colores or are they all gloss/shinny
if I go with the POR15 black then I'll leave the engine the blue. But if I go with the military green then I'll pull the covers off and paint the engine the same green.

In black starter kits you can get simi gloss and gloss.

What about HardNose? Isn't it tougher than POR15 and comes in more colors?

 

[gokart14]

have you seen the price for hardnose holy crap

Hardnose does claim to be tuffer than POR15 black. But if you read the intructions it says it works best if you por15 black first. On my moped I did not por15 black first. No rocks chips as of yet after 2 years riding on the front of my van.

As of most por15 products they are not cheap. But what make them cheap to me is that I do not need all the mixer cleaner hardner filters spray guns and all that other stuff. So for me it is way cheaper and easier to just brush por15 on. All who see it think it is powder coat. And it is stronger than powder coat. Also have you try to repair powder coat like when your frame breaks a weld or something? With POR15 just fix and brush some more on. Also you get a paint that will last forever. Gas brake fluid and even paint stripper will not touch it. I can paint any of my Ody projects for under $100. So it pay for powder coating. Or por15 myself and have the best job I can get. Look at it this way friends. I can wrape a chain around the front bumper of my Ody. I can be towed a few miles back to camp. Unhook the chain and have no damage to my paint. Thats what I call the best I can get. Like the above poster said, it has to be done right to get that tough.

Here is the hardnose color chart. The hardnose is stronger than por15 black in my testing. If you want white it is called whitcote. They market Whitcote to folks that paint boat hauls and kitchen sink paint. It has that pocilan look and last forever.

Also a Moped I painted with hardnose.

Now, are all of the HardNose paints gloss only?

 

[T-man]

red: I guess gloss and semi gloss
Big: someone posted on this video that the por15 should have a top coat of paint afterwords, do you know what he is talking about.

Lol The chassis coat i posted before is the top coat because por15 is not uv resistant and chassis coat is and that's the difference..

Ranger: you posted that . ok
