What color is your new ride again?
Very anxious to see what that thing is gonna look like. I had a similar idea for colors on my new SKS.
why not try and do a color base coat then use the POR 15 as your clear/protectant coat?
The sway bar is already black so no for me. For me, I tend to keep pieces that are not visually appealing dark so they don't stick out.
Sorry you didn't have a good experience with your rocker panels. I know it seems crazy, but you have to use their cleaner and metal prep or it won't hold. Once you do, it can't or won't peel off. Mine stays on the bottom of my rock crawler RZRs. You have to gouge the metal to get it off with the rocks. So Don't get it on Anything you don't want it to stay on. Ive used it for years on old hot rod and truck frames I build as well. You can top coat it as well.
They do look good, thanks for sharing the pics
Is that kryptonite green?

Sorry AK I meant to say the steering arm/rod. I noticed it wasn't painted on an all black pro which is the same Color I ordered my sks. I was looking at a pic on my phone but I should have known that wasn't the stabilizer. Did you do the steering?

Yeah looks nice ! And paint thinner has oils it leave behind so that's why it probly didn't bond great.
I have not coated the tie rod yet. It is a tight tolerance in the bushing for the boot. I may try some 3M wrap and see how she holds. Those rod are moving so much that it will need to be something thin but strong.
MH, I agree, POR-15 is some great stuff! Im surprised more people haven't tried it. Ive used it for years on anything that gets really beat up. The only problem with it being so tuff is like MH said the only thing that gets it off your skin is time. Only use brushes that you want to throw away. It paints on thin and the brush marks self level so it looks like its sprayed. Once you open the can the air and humidity activate it. So either have another project "prepped" to paint or don't open the lid. I just poke a hole in the top to pour and another to vent. Then I tape them shut when done if I'm trying to save the rest. Follow the instructions completely if you haven't used it. Anyone that hasn't had excellent results from POR-15 missed a step. If I can do it a thousand times anyone can do it

so get this?
Yes, but that is a six pack. I would start with a small starter kit unless you have a lot to cover. The starter kit has everything you need here:http://www.amazon.com/POR-15-45009-...?srs=2598761011&ie=UTF8&qid=1440300450&sr=8-1
