Been lurking for a long time and finally decided it was time to try to contribute and I need some advice.
I have an '83 chassis that got 2 coats of POR15 and 2 coats of POR15 topcoat. The topcoat can easily be scratched off exposing the base POR15 underneath.
My prep:
Sandblast
POR15 Metal Prep per the directions
2 Coats of POR15 per directions
Let it sit for a few days
Scuff w/320 grit sandpaper
2 Coats of POR15 topcoat per the directions
Topcoat did not stick......
My question now is what should I do to take the topcoat off without hopefully damaging the good base underneath? I have contacted POR15 for advice and get mixed info all of which sounds suspect.
I would like to get the topcoat off and hit the base with an etch primer and decent epoxy spray bomb if possible.
In hindsight I should have just ponied up the cash for powder coat or have someone spray it with epoxy paint. I have more money in materials and time than I thought I would ever have and just need to cut my loss, get it in decent shape, and move on.
Any advice would be appreciated.
