Thanks for your help
in answering all my questions when I visited your shop on
Tuesday morning this week, with regards to spraying on POR15 to
the under body of my HZ GTS. Here are some photos of the first
stage of the project hope you can use on your web site, also
look forward to seeing the video on
using Metal Ready. |

Ready for Sand
Blast: "Car totally stripped down and frame welded up to tilt
body to allow easy access to under body." |
 |
Sand Blast: "Well
this took a good four days to sand blast by myself but it saved
a lot of money and the results speak for itself" |
|
Tuesday
4/12/06: "Visited the show room at Warriewood to discuss the
POR15 finishes and technical aspects of spraying. Rob was
very helpful in answering all questions and products and I
think I bought almost everything to do a ground up rebuild,
also thanks to the young lady for the babysitting service
provided - little James enjoyed his stamps and the puppy
dog" "Advise everyone not sure visit the shop and find out
for yourself you might also get a discount." |

Sprayed 2 coats
of POR15 onto the under body, using 1.4 nozzle gravity gun @
30-35 PSI to achieve high gloss. All I can say is WOW this
product rocks and you can do it at home. The rippling effect
in the photo could not be help as this is actually the
reflection of the blue drop sheet, yes it is that glossy
very very happy with the result. (main reason for spraying
was all the tricky access areas which would have been a
nightmare with the brush)
1.4 litres of POR15 and used 5% solvent
Gravity feed 2002 gun 1.4mm nozzle
Lots of solvent for cleanup
Cleaned gun between coats, just a rinse with solvent (do not
let this stuff any chance to dry in your gun)
Drop sheets, over spray was not that bad make sure
everything is covered
1.5 meters from object.

Diff: "Next stage the
diff as you can see it is very ordinary, can not wait to sand blast
and paint this before Christmas I hope" |

Once again, 2 coats of

POR15, looks much better, like new. |
