Full product details, applications & manufacturer specifications

Enhance the adhesion of any opaque paint or coating with POR-15 Metal Prep.

Specially formulated for use on various bare or moderately rusted metal surfaces. This powerful pre-paint solution gently etches metal to create an ideal anchor pattern, ensuring the best bond for rust-preventive coatings, primers, or topcoats. Diluted POR-15 Metal Prep also works on aluminum and polished metals for opaque paint application. Use POR-15 Alloy Prep when using clear coats over aluminum, alloys and polished metals.
