It goes a pretty long way though. I painted my subframe with it and used much less than I originally anticipated.

Oh and the car look great! Love the dual gate shifter! I had one in my first car and loved it.

Got some more done the last couple evenings. All my components are at the sand blasters, Frame is cleaned and por15'd, Firewall is done. Waiting for new suspension bushings and stuff.


 
POR 15 is the poop.  Just dont get it on your hands and forget.

the Frame was wire wheeled to bare metal. The firewall was scuffed and sprayed.

ok so i'm now totally confused haha. i spoke to guys at Eastwood and POR15. they both said thier products are only to be used on bare metal!!! i wasn't going to take my firewall and undercarriage down to that. i was just gonna scuff it up with a scotchbrite pad or something- ugh...
they said if i didn't the product wouldn't stay on permanently...

I didnt use POR15 on the firewall. Only the frame. The frame was down to bare metal. Not too tough, just dirty.
