As mentioned in my earlier chassis cleaning post I had intended to paint my chassis with POR15 but having read some more on the subject I've decided to use a rust inhibiting primer called Corroless followed by Tetrosyl black chassis paint.
I've been put off POR15 by the rigourous level of prep that seems to be necessary for it to adhere properly to the metal. Has anyone here found this to be true? From what I've read, the Corroless will also allow me to skip the rust converter/phosphoric acid step which will make the job quicker and easier.
Apparently, Corroless is most commonly used on oil rigs in marine environments, so sounds like it should be up to the job. Does anyone have any experience of using it on a chassis or have any suggestions of similar products?
Also, I will be doing all of this work outside so would it be wiser to leave it until the warmer, dryer weather returns next year to avoid trapping any moisture beneath the paint?
