I was wondering the same thing. I'd like to clean up my frame, but not necessarily strip it down completely. Anyone out there used it for their frame? if so, how's it holding up?

Snuffy...take a look at the HARD CORE paints by Por15,really tough paint that'll take alot abuse before it chips. They have 15 colors from which to choose from,I just ordered their color chart..........Jack

jack, i have seen the hard core paints.my problem is i dont have the equipment or talent to spray them. but for just a frame the regular por15 does have a nice finish for just being brushed on.i think they have 3 colors two slivers and a black.but all of them need a clear coat over them,as por15 does not stand up to sunlight.its still tuff enuff but the color changes i guess. this stuff is tuff,maybe more so than powder coating.but it does need some surface prep.it should work well over a freshly sand blasted frame tho.......snuffy

Snuffy.....the application for the HARD CORE is the exact same procedure as the regular por 15 and I was told the hard core isn't affected by sun UV rays. I'm going with the red,really beautiful shade and will be using a touch up gun for applying,they also have a clear now,along with many new products...............Jack

You can spray or brush but for spray takes a special thinner they claim may be just plain old mineral spirits. I have # at work will post it Monday(Distributor).Their products do not consist of a one coat application,it progresses from several steps from metal prep to primer,etc...............Jack

bobber for just a frame i would be tempted to just use a brush.but the frame will have to be sandblasted.you can not apply over paint.try it first on a scrap bit of metal to see if the finish is to your likeing.plan on spending the better part of a day babysetting it,as youhave to do two coats.
and the the secound coat most be applyed when the first is still slighly tacky to get the best adheshion.por15 cures by contact with the mosture in the air,so cure times will vary.nothing short of sand blasting again will remove this stuff,so beware! if you get on you you will wear it for a week or more.wear rubber gloves!and if any gets in the can lid its welded tite....snuffy

wow snuffy that sounds like some pretty tricky stuff to deal with, is there any advantage using por15 rather than just a power coat finish? or is it a cost factor.

bobber dident see your post till now.i think it is cheaper and just as tuff as powder coating.and you can get faily good results with just a brush.the problem with the straight por15 is it will fade in direct sun light,but would be great in the trunk of your car.jack may be right on the hard nose paint.looks like you can brush it on a sand blasted frame.just dosent have the rust proventing qualitys of the por 15 with somethig over it.
jack why dont you hurry up and paint something with that hard nose paint;).......snuffy
