Where can you buy this? A regular paint store or does it have to be bought? Does Home Depot or Lowe's handle it? Ron Thompson -Waller, Tx. 1995 WLWB 42'Blue Bird (cockyfox@...)

The only prep I do is to take a wire brush and knock off any dirt and loose scale. I usually put a wire brush attachment to my drill to knock the stuff off. It does the trick. I have also washed the area down if it was really dusty/dirty. I did let it dry thoroughly before applying.

This probably isn't an issue with most of the undercarriage, but could be an issue with small springs and clamps in the engine compartment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_embrittlement David Brady '02 LXi, Smokey NC ebirder2000@... wrote: > > > I have used POR-15 for several projects on the bus.
