I was wondering what is best to use? I thought it was restored completely but it is not so now I want to finish it. Thanks Brad [IMG] http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh291/Ameritowruston/54chevy.jpg[/IMG]

If you do a search on it you will find hours of reading!! Good stuff but be careful and follow the precautions and instructions. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 137 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 137 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 | What do you think about Zero Rust. I have used that product and it doesn't have the health hazards of the Por-15. I bought it because it was easy to find where I shop.

I used the spray can version, & it was about 6 years old, & still holding up. I've also used POR 15, & as mentioned it's more toxic, & fades more with sunlight exposure. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 88 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 88 | Thanks Spanky I knew you would know. I still have your truck and I need to start working on it.
Thanks

It's got the consistency of water so it gets in the seems. It's toxic so be carefull, I used foam brushes and a deck sprayer to apply.You want to wait days before the next coat. It"s at Lowes in quarts | | |
