These are POR products, correct- I also need POR 15 to paint the floor panels after cleaned with the Metal Clean and Ready materials.

Where can I purchase these products- local stores or only on-line -
Thanks

I bought mine at Firewheel Classics, for me that's my local store, for others, would be online.

some auto parts and body shops carry POR as a service to area folks. Mpls has an active POR dealer where I get mine. No shipping that way. :)

You can order straight from the manufacturer www.por15.com or you can sometimes get lucky at your local auto parts store. They make a complete floor pan kit that I used that has everything you need. It worked great.

I bought POR-15 direct. I believe they had what they called a starter kit or sampler kit.
Metal cleaner, Zinc phosphate , POR 15 paint (Pint?) and I think a brush.

I also see it at a lot of swap meets and car shows here in So. Illinois

I will say get the metal, clean, clean , clean, and correct air temperatures. Good stuff ! IMO

As an alternative -
Marine Clean is a heavy duty degreaser, an excellent replacement is "Oil Eater"
It is sold by many outlets including Costco stores.
I prefer Oil Eater 20:1 over POR's product - easier to use, rinses better, more economical, easier to buy/order and can be used on lots of other items and around the house.

Metal Ready is and acid etch product, a great replacement is "Ospho"
It is a Phosporic Acid treatment to remove surface rust and 'pickle' the surface to allow good adheasion and prevent surface issues.
It is sold through lot s of paint and hardware stores - I buy it at my local True Value hardware or a local paint supply place in Qrts.
It is easy to use and the new generation paints LOVE a slightly acid surface for best adheasion.
