I am just about to paint my firewall and i was just looking through the archives, noticed that alot of you used POR-15. now i was wondering...when you say POR-15 do you mean the same stuff i used on my frame for the rust? or do i use their hi temp?? I was originally going to paint it with a spray can but with everything i just read about it not holding up i dont think i will. I want this to last.
so is it POR hi-temp or the normal stuff? :confused:
thanks for your time

Well, so far the best firewall/inner fenders I've seen at shows have been done with good ol Rustoleum 7777 ( satin black ), and I've done the same. Many coats. Cant see why it wont hold up well.

Steve- When i did the engine bay in my 69 elky- I sanded it all down- sprayed 2 coats of rustoleum gray primer- followed by 3 coats of Krylon Sem-Flat (same as semi-gloss i think) Turned out great- I drove it as my daily driver for a year and saw no fading or peeling! :cool:

Just rattle can it & save the POR15 for rusty stuff! ;)

I discovered some pretty good paint in a rattle can called Chassis Black. It is packaged by Martin
Senior for NAPA. Not too expensive either.
It comes the closest I have seen to factory chassis color, texture and shine.

I did mine in Dupli-Color semi-gloss black. It comes extremely close to the factory original color. It went about 5 years ago for about $4.75 a can. No pealing, dulling or flacking after these 5 years. (about 2500-3000 miles a year).

alright sounds like using the can isnt such a bad idea. gonna get another coat of primer on today and then maybe a coat of black. Ill post some pics.
thanks again
