adam78280z Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Like the tittle says. I searched their site and can't find any clue. Just sand blasted my engine bay and have a couple pin holes and such. I want to seal them and fill them in. Thanks! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to see if you can spray a primer on top of the POR15. On the other hand, I seriously doubt that POR15 will like being applied to bondo.

adam78280z Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 I didn't think the rustseal would like to stick to the filler. I'll give them a call today and see what their techs say and report back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I would say sand blast,rust converter,bondo,then expoxy primer on top of that.Then paint.I never had good luck with POR 15 seems like the rust still came back using that. Just My 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just4kinks Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I recently applied Bondo over POR15 and it seems to adhere just fine. Just scuff up the POR15 first. The problem is that when you sand the Bondo you'll end up sanding through some of the POR15 too. So you'll still end up with some bare patches.

adam78280z Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 The Rustseal tech confirmed that the rust sealer of you choice should always be applied directly to the metal. I only have a couple spots that need touch up in the engine bay so sanding shouldn't be a huge issue. body work sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Uh dont want to sound rude but you shouldnt use bondo at all. If you are going through all the trouble and keeping the car use resin with fiberglass strands in it. Much stronger than bondo and it totally seals. Bondo is very porous and sucks up moisture and WILL rust your car almost as fast as being tossed into the Pacific Ocean Good luck on your car!

Challenger Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yeah the rust sealant wont do much good on the bondo since the bondo isnt what rusts.. the metal would still rust just like a normal bondo on metal car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z2go Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 They make a putty that is a sort of epoxy, that can be used with POR-15. It's on their website, comes in rectangular bricks, also available from MSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Here's the order it should go if your going to do it with the por. Apply the por15 to the rust area. When the por is still tacky but not cured spray a coat of epoxy primer over the area. You know the por is ready if you touch it with your finger tip and no por transfers to your finger but still feels tacky. If you paint it too soon the por is still out gassing and it will bubble the primer. After the epoxy primer dries but withing it's cure period (or you have to scuff up the primer) use a resin based filler like duraglass to do the major filling. Sand the duraglass but don't go through the epoxy. If you do recoat. Now use bondo to feather out the repair. Now you can go to your high fill primer. The epoxy primer is waterproof and that's the barrier between moisture and the metal. At least that's how I did it! Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plz don't bash for the VW pic I don't know what to think of it... maybe it's the lighting in the pic, but it almost looks like the original 240z orange, except... faded?

I like the black trim as well. Definitely black hood vents and perhaps black air dam, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
