Right as I was off work and had finished blubbling at "the wedding"
It was time for a bit more work.

I got hold of the por15 system that Jay on here had used on his cossie.
So first up a good clean with the old mr muscle.
Then a proper clean with the Por15 Marine clean (which stinks and attacks your throat. A mask and gloves are recomended)



When that has been washed off with water then it's the Prep n ready.
You have to keep it wet for 20 mins (that'd be a first )

Then when it's dry you can paint on it.
It leaves an zinc oxide residue on any rust that helps the paint to bite into it.
You can just make out the light blue sheen on the rust in the next pic.



I bought a pack of six small tins as once opened it reacts with the air and cures and if you put the lid back on you need a disc cutter to get it off again.




The painting is in two coats min, first one coat, then wait 2 and a half hours till it's almost dry, but tacky enough that you can leave a mark when you touch it.
Then the second.
The paint works differently to normal in that it attacks the rust, locks on to it and is a totally non-porous surface.







If you are wondering why I didnt paint all the bay it is because the paint only works at it's best if it is in contact with bare metal.
So where the bay is painted in several hundred coats of hammerite , there is no point in using the por 15.

What did suprise me was the coverage, two caots of the bits in the bay, right round the screen appeture, a lot in the footwells and various other parts of the car...all from one 4oz pot.

So with any luck there shouldn't be any new rust.
