Right, after 2 years under a tarp on the drive, the por15 on my chassis has come off in places leading to surface rust, fairly extensive but not disastrous.

Any advice on how to proceed? My current plan is clean up as best I can, then hit it with more por15 and hope it sticks, but open to better ideas.


P.S. Currently at the point of rolling chassis, engine in, wiring and plumbing half done, so stripping it down and starting over isn't a great option, especially as I'm currently garage-less.

Cheers.

bloody hell, your back!!! (unless that was a while ago and i missed the return!! )

Indeed, back as of 5 minutes ago.

My inclination would be to firmly wire brush the affected areas, and surroundings, and repaint (ideally on a warm, dry day)

It's good to be back

Cool, welcome back

As others have said rub down (or take 'the tool' the affected areas. The coat with a decent antirust primer then PO15 it

POR15 sticks to rust a lot better than it does to clean metal anyway.

POR15, the clue's in the name. Paint on rust Don't prime it first.
