Is POR-15 any good ?

When it comes to coating parts with or without crevices, the best experience I ever had was sending my parts to a company called Jet-Hot Coatings. https://www.jet-hot.com (they're famous for their Sterling Coating, which also comes in Black, and Grey). A mixture of silver and ceramic powders, looks a bit like chrome but not exactly, used mostly for exhaust headers and pipes in jet and train engines and hot rods, and now used for Preservation of automotive parts. They're quick and not expensive. I coated all the exhaust system pipes in my 1984 Jaguar XJ-6, and other parts like brackets and fixtures. the exhaust system temperature no longer gets so hot, (they're coated inside and outside) you can actually touch it and not get burned.
This is metallurgy science for car restorers. Try it, you'll thank me.
 
Jet Hot. Do they do frames too?
 
it seems like I paid something like 200 bucks for my airplane exhaust system, I have serious doubts about their doing an entire frame. I am going to have the frame on the car I am doing now powder coated.
 
Well, good point but the fact remains that for the less expensive repair ( and body shops are not cheap! )the idea of Paint Over Rust POR is a good idea, besides when the rust comes back if it does, then maybe you will have enough money to /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nopity.gifafford to fix it right !

Hi Skip,
Even if they would coat a frame, welding to it would be an issue. Grinding the coating off ain’t easy.
