I love it, be sure to follow the directions. Do the proper prep work.

Wear gloves:yes:. My buddy used it and got it all over his hands and didn't realize you can't wash it off. Had black hands for the longest time:D

Good stuff!! Follow the instructions and do the prep work as previously mentioned. I did the tops and bottom of my floorpans and a few supspension pieces three years ago and it still looks like new (of course I have driven the car less than 500 miles). For applying it I started off with a brush (bristle and foam) but ended up using rubber latex gloves bought at Harbor Freight and just wiped it on by hand. It laid down much smoother and I was able to get it areas that I could with a brush. The paint seemed to go further also.

ya its great **** but it will stay on your hands. I had a body shop try to put some on they really messed it up because they tried spraying it and didnt thin it. It can be sprayed but needs to be thinned about 10% and from what i heard they have stopped producing it.

It also works great to pain it on comes out perfectly smooth just make sure u get the kind u want and remember the silver is for reconditioning pitted metal because it actually has metal flakes in it and its hard to keep it flat

I used it on the inside of my new inner rockers. Cleaned them, scuffed them, used metal ready on them. Had that white rough coating the metal ready leaves. Pealed it all off months later with a blow gun and my fingers. Lots of sheets of it. Same thing is happening on my original floor pans with lots of pitting and again perfect prep. Now for everyone to quote me saying "did you follow the directions?"

Use the marine clean and metal ready. The cleaner the better and the metal ready "etches" the metal to promote adhesion.

I used it in the front bay. It is good stuff. But I'm doing the back underneath now using Chassis Saver. It seems about the same and is considerably cheaper. Only time will tell if it holds up as good.
One thing, I wished I hadn't used gloss black in the engine bay area. It always looks wet. makes you immediately think you've sprung a water leak.

Wish I'd read that BEFORE I did my leafs and traction bars last night... LOL

Brake fluid will get it off of your hands (along with some skin)

I'm usually the one saying no to por 15, blast it clean then epoxy.
jmo, not wanting to start a battle, just don't believe in it.

I used and am very happy with the results.

The only thing that I would mention is that the chassis black is probably a bit glossier than I would have liked.
