POR-15 2K Urethane - Dark Gray - 1 gl. - 2 - Part Industrial Top Coat | Durable Long-Lasting Coating

Great stuff. I have used it with paint brushes on a number of things. Once dry, it is somewhat flexible, but hard as a rock at the same time. I find myself buying more quite often. It flows out great with a paint brush, but I think I may try it with my HVLP spray gun sometime.

I used it on the rocker panels of a old white pickup. I went to great pains prepping the area first. The POR-15 mixed easy and applied easy with a brush. The stuff seems to be tough as nails. The true test will be this winter--hoping it can stand up to the sand and debris they put on the roads here in Iowa!

I have used por 15 for many years and have always been happy with the results so when it came time to paint the bumper on my classic truck I decided to use this product I assumed that I would get the same results as the por 15 gloss black and with the 2K I was hoping for a high gloss long lasting finish . I followed the directions to a T however the results were TERRIBLE I tried a foam brush, foam roller, regular paint roller and finally a brush as the directions call for . After each attempt I had to sand down the bumper and reapply the paint . According to the directions " for best results use por 15 rust preventive paint" which I did I searched you tube and the internet for any tips which there were very few . After applying paint with rollers and foam brush there would be texture in the finished product unlike the por 15 gloss black which smooths out and leaves a great glossy finish . I eventually used a brush and applied it somewhat heavy in an attempt to achieve the glossy finish and the paint ended up running and sagging and dripping . So short of applying it with a spray gun I am at a loss as to how one would go about applying this product . 60$ not well spent ,had it been advertised as such I would have never bought it ! BE WARNED THIS PAINT DOES NOT LAY DOWN LIKE THE REGULAR POR 15

I’ve used this material for several years, it’s good stuff

Obviously, this is not an inexpensive product.I tried to use it twice on a by-the-book-prep'ed painted surface, under controlled temperature and humidity, and both times I got solvent-pop that is unlike anything I've experienced with any other product. The end result was a surface just riddled with craters that had to be completely sanded back, wrecking the project.I'm not sure if I missed something about the application, but either way, it's not a very forgiving product. I also question the direction that this product is okay to apply with a brush, as I could not get it to wet out\level very well.The product is described as drying in 12 hours. Even keeping the part at 65-80F for 12 hours, it did not cure as hard as I would expect. It seemed to gain some hardness around 18 hours, but even after 30 hours, it was fairly soft.I'm willing to admit I may have missed something, but also: I work with all manner of finishes\coatings on a constant basis and have never had a problem like this.

Product is Outstanding

Forms a very tough, glossy and hard finish. I had trouble getting it to lay out smoothly when I brushed it on. I applied it over POR-15's own self-etching primer, but it didn't want to lay out. Got a lot of fisheyes as if I was spraying it with an oily air line. It took me about three coats to get a good, uniform coat. Maybe it was the humidity (they do warn about that--so don't use it if the humidity is high). Ultimately, I ended up with a nice looking bright white finish (if a little bit thick) on my diving board, and I expect it to last for many years, so I'm pleased with it. Only complaint was that the application was so finicky--more so than other POR-15 products I've used.

awesome product
