Thanks Marty.
Just got the Skinks painted with 2 coats of POR-15. 2 coats of HARDNOSED POR-15 next then they get mounted. Those plastic quarter moldings look like they have to get lost. Thats why I need the instructions again.
These things will go on with the plastic still there?
Did you brush the PRO-15 on or spray it on?
After all the degreasing and metal prep (had good warm temps and high humidity which, believe it or not actually makes it dry FASTER) I brushed on two coats. Looks great as is, but the POR-15 IS UV susceptible and is not chip resistant. The Hard-Nosed paint is near BULLET proof. I put some on a fairlead as a test and I can't even chip it with a BFH.
Hard-Nosed goes today. Humidity will help it cure too. Only draw back to the Hard Nosed is that it can take a while to fully cure. Upto 2 weeks in cool dry weather. Don't have that now.
