A 1930 V16 Cadillac Sports Phaeton has
recently finished a 12 year restoration.
The result is a huge credit to the owner
as this car is brilliantly done. This
was his 5th Cadillac
restoration, and he says the last. (I've
heard that story
before). The finish on this car has
to be seen to be believed.
The fuel tank has had the POR-15 sealer
installed two years ago, and various
areas have POR-15 coatings, engine block,
heads, intake manifold, rocker covers
to name a few. |

This is a 1930's Ford, a Sydney fire
Chiefs car that was fairly recently
found in the Warriewood area of Sydney.
The owner has got tired of polishing
the brass so has used Glisten PC on
all the brass work with great results.
He'll be using POR-15 on a lot of other
areas as he goes through a semi restoration.
On a recent trip on the F3 with his
wife following she had to get him to
slow down as he was starting to exceed
the 110KPH limit, with, as he told me
lots more to go. |

"Attached are some photo's you may use
if you wish from the restoration I
undertook using your great products.
We used Por15 grey as a primer throughout
the whole restoration.
When I get around to doing my truck,
I will be using your product again."

If you have ever undertaken restoration work you
will know that preparation is the foundation of
a good finish.
Why would you spend hours cleaning and sanding a
project to then put on an inferior foundation just
to save money.
This is where PPC products really come into their
own. Having done the hard "prep" work apply the
appropriate PPC product and your work will stand
the test of time.
I have restored four cars over the past seven years
and all have been stripped back to bare metal...repaired
where necessary.... metal treatment applied......then
painted .
Fibre glass work using PPC clear is superior to
the two pack usually used with fibreglass in my
opinion. It is a 'one step' process.
One of my projects was a Mini Moke. When all repairs
were completed (using PPC products) painted in the
finished colour, I applied two coats of Glisten.
Climbing in and out of a Moke can cause scratching
on the box sections of the sides...not with Glisten.....and
there being no carpeting great for the floors.
Current restoration is a challenge but knowing how
good PPC products are I am confident of a prized
result !

"I rang you yesterday about the hardener from my
Glisten Pc,, I would really just like to say thanks
for your prompt delivery of a replacement hardener.
I am very grateful and appreciate that you got it
to me so quickly.
As I am building one of Australia's top show cars
I have found it very hard to find such great service
over the last few months that I have been building
the car and thought I would email to thank you for
the service."

This
Austin-Healey 3000 Mk IIIA 1966 (BJ8)
was painted 6 years ago during an accident
rebuild / restoration using POR-15 on
a variety of components. The car has
been raced at least twenty times since
then and driven frequently and it still
looks good.
"Remember the
old adage "as exciting as watching paint
dry"? Whoever dreamed that one up had
obviously never watched brush applied
POR-15 drying... Seriously - you can
brush this stuff on, late at night in
your garage, while its raining outside....
You get a fantastic 'permanent' finish
- and it looks like it was sprayed in
a booth!!!. All the suspension, engine,
gearbox, Diff carrier, diff banjo, brakes
(pedals, booster, callipers, backing
plates), exhaust system, and all the
gloss black ancillary items on the black
& white car are painted with Permanent
Painted Coatings products.
I have
been recommending PPC products to like
minded enthusiasts for several
years!"

“I have restored many cars but this
is the first time I’ve used POR-15.
I am very very impressed with this paint.
I sandblast everything, then give them
a light sanding to get them smooth followed
by two coats of the POR-15.
The result has been great. All the people
who come to look at this Pontiac Chief
ton can’t believe that it has been brushed.
They all think it’s a spray job.
I have given away all the catalogues
that I took from you as I keep telling
people how happy I am with this product.

"Just
letting you know that we sprayed it
on the cruiser last Friday and even
over fresh paint (24hrs old in some
spots) It didn't bite through we initially
sprayed just minus thinners then let
it settled then next tin was with the
10% thinners and let me tell you the
gloss on this rig is amazing!! The owner
is wrapped with it loves the wet look
to it from it being over a solid colour
and loves the fact that he wont have
to repaint it again from scrub scratches
etc!!"
"I had seen your
coating previously but had not yet had
the opportunity to work with them until
now and let me tell you this stuff is
dam near fool proof! And that you guys
have got another couple of happy customers
and ones that will continue buying and
using your fine range of products next
for us is my 75 VJ Charger that's undergoing
full resto' and it'll be copping POR-15,
Chassis Coat and of course Glisten PC
and glisten it does!"
"Thanks for this
truly great product & i look forward
to my next purchases from your great
range! We have even convinced my brother
to respray his 71 S Beetle VW in the
glisten over his solid yellow paintjob
as it's a semi show car and all this
from him seeing the landcruiser!"

"Well,
I remember seeing at a boat show some
20 years ago, a product that actually
turned a very rusty piece of steel into
a black finish that when returned to
the salty environment from which it
came from, did not rust again. So I
asked around and researched the net
and found a number of products available
from Permanent Painted Coatings that
are similar. This crowd have a preparation
called “POR15 – Rust Preventative Paint”.
Its secret lies in the curing. Normal
paint apparently cures by solvent evaporation
and can trap microscopic amounts of
air and moisture which continue corroding
the metal after the paint has dried.
This stuff actually
coats the rust
and bonds with the metal to a
ceramic rock hard coating that wont
crack, chip or peel.
Now for fixing fuel
tanks or Jerry Cans, they have a product
called “US Standard Fuel Tank Sealer”
which can be purchased separately or
in a kit that contains three parts that
will fix your leaky old Jerry Can. First
part is a powerful detergent they call
(“Marine Clean”), that will clean the
tank and remove all traces of oil, gum
and varnishes etc, the second a Rust
converter, pre-primer called (“Metal
Ready”), that will turn what’s left
after the cleaning process into a protective
zinc phosphate coating and finally the
Sealer they call (”US Standard Fuel
Tank Sealer”), which will leave a rock
hard, non porous flexible film which
will keep out moisture and is impervious
to all fuels and additives AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY, will seal pin holes and
seam leak s
easily."
