I posted a few pictures on a different thread a while back and seemed to get a lot of compliments and questions. So here is a thread dedicated to my POR-15 undercoating.

I pulled the wheels, the plastic fender liners and exhaust.
I then used a brass wire brush on a drill to get the rough stuff off the welds.
After that I used naval jelly on any remaining rust spots which virtually took it back down to bare metal.
Next I sprayed on POR-15's "Marine Clean" on the entire under-body.Then rinse.
Then I sprayed POR-15's "Prep & Ready" on the entire under-body.
Keep wet with Prep & Ready for at least 30 minutes. Then rinse.
Once BONE DRY I then used a foam brush and applied actual "POR-15" to all rusted spots.
Finally I sprayed on POR-15's "Chassis Coat" to everything to make it look like the pictures shown.
I also used a can or two of 3m Rubberized undercoating in the upper wheel-wells.

Car spent a good week and a half on jack stands. Sure was a lot of time on a creeper.

Supplies were:
- POR-15 starter kit. I didn't need a lot of POR-15 so it just came with a little can and then it also came with the Marine Clean and Prep & Ready.
- 1 Jar of Naval Jelly from hardware store.
- I used 5 spray cans of Chassis Coat to spray everything.
- 1 and 1/2 cans of 3m Rubberized undercoating from the hardware store.

The before pictures are actually after I used the wire brush, so it didn't look quite that rough before I started

Good Job. I like it. Very professional and I like how it contrasts with the diff

Looks great! My front cross-member has definitely got some of that same sort of rust. Not sure I'm this motivated to clean it up, though!

No shit! Great job! HUGE difference! Sevillian, how 'bout you come down to Charlotte, and do mine. :bigroll: Free lodging, food, beer. It'll be like a V meet. We'll drive the Diamond and Dragon while you're down here! I bet killernoodle would come out too. :highfive:

Thanks! Be right down there, ha ha .

I do want to come down and drive the Dragon some day.

Forgot to mention: wherever it says "rinse" up there... means I was rising the bottom of the car off with the hose while on a creeper. :worship: glad I'm done with it.

I bought most of my supplies months before I actually decided to tackle the job.
