Ok guys,
I took some time off work, and I'm about to spend 4th of july week doing some well needed bodywork. I plan on grinding out my rust, forming replacement panels for the holes, and welding and coating in POR-15.
I got a sheet metal nibbler, some 22gauge metal, 1/2 gallon of POR-15, some hammers and dollys, a shot bag, and an angle grinder.
What is the best way to apply the POR-15? I assume a brush, whats the best type? Foam? Hair? How long does it take to cure?
I'll probably end up using some body filler, as my sheet metal skills are going to be tested during this project, and I'm looking for the best final finish. I'm prepared to take the time to do it right the 1st time, so what else do I need. Sandpaper, tack cloth.. What is the best kind of Rattle-Can primer I can use to coat this temporarily so when I get it painted will be compatible with auto paint.
What else am i missing, what kinds of other tools might I need to get this done. I've got my MIG, lots of regular shop tools, drills, etc.
Any help will be appreciated. Paul, John, I know you guys are pretty experienced in this kind of stuff.
