I bought some POR15 to paint my frame and A-frames. When I degreased the frame I found that it was like shiny new steel. (It's a Florida car, no rust)

My question is, should I leave the frame in that condition or repaint it anyway? How did it look from the factory?

I believe that POR15 pretty much requires a base coat of light rust to adhear properly. I think you would be better off with a good etching primer and an epoxy paint like Eastwoods Chassis Black.

I agree with Chief. Give that POR-15 to your worst enemy. He will hate you for it. If you need any touch-up use the Eastwood stuff.

I am curious as to why you would say that about the POR? I have used both and prefer the POR over Eastwood's rust encapsulator.
What bad experience have you had with POR15?
I agree, however, that POR is not for 'as new' metal. It will adhere great to sandblasted steel, however, if you chose to go that way.
