Rawls - I've used it twice with mixed results - on some body/rust repair on
our 85 Westy and, at the same time, on our rusted 88 Camry.  Sanded both
vehicles down to bare metal and used a hobby spray abrasive gun to even get
out the remaining rust.  Prepped as directed with the POR-15 metal ready and
then used POR-15 silver.  The POR-15 worked quite well in my small sprayer
(Badger).  Primed both and topcoated with the same brand paint.

The results - 18 months later the Westy appears rust free but the Camry is
starting to rust through again.  Can't figure out why - maybe the 'superior'
German steel.

Good luck.  I'd be interested in hearing reports from other POR-15 users on
the list too.
