well we were doing great, until one rivet got stuck in the rivet gun, and so we decided to blow that apart, and now how in the world do you put all these tiny bits back together, LOL
that's it, it's time to watch some Monday Night Football! |

alright after getting re-motivated, and seven failed attempts at putting that silly rivet gun back together the wrong way, I think I finally put it back the right way, and we were back in business
so here is the driver side kick panel rebuild and ready to go |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Greg, did you make your own replacements or did you get a kit?

if you follow the thread (huge I know) try the Table of Contents in the very first post, you will see how I worked these kick panels |
Re: Restoring Rusty
I was wondering if the gasket material was a kit.

I realize some of you may think this is silly, but I love showing our "city" trucks doing truck things, ha ha
so the HOA insisted we replace the unapproved white rocks put in by the previous home owner with standard bark, so here we go Rusty gettin' dirty and maintainin' his Street Cred!!! ha ha |

Re: Restoring Rusty
1. I hate you, your propensity to actually get stuff DONE is making me feel inadequate.
2. I love you, your propensity to actually get stuff DONE AND take pictures is awesome and gives me ideas on things I can actually get done myself! I have questions: • I've heard from reviews that the POR 15 tends to lighten in color, turning a purple color (or even pinkish) when exposed to UV light... any thoughts on your application? • You are using Phosphoric Acid to prep, and then applying POR 15, correct? I see concrete etcher at the local home improvement as Phosphoric Acid, but I'm not sure if that's the same, or if it is the same strength... Where'd you source your acid, and what strength is it (or do you even know)? |

First of all, all excellent questions, I am no POR15 expert but I have used it a few times now.

I have not seen mine turn purple, but I had it go blotchy, meaning I bought the glossy type and painted my '68 Mustang engine bay with it (two coates as per instructions) and when it all was said and done and dry, some spots were shinny and some were flat and dull. So I called the company up and they said sometimes it just does that? Say What?! Quote:

Re: Restoring Rusty
POR 15 has no UV protection so it will discolor if exposed to UV over time. Topcoat it with regular paint of your choice if it's going to see sunlight.
