POR over stainless

eleblanc · 01-05-08, 09:04 AM

I'm replacing my rear bumper cross member on my bj42 frame, I've done them in Stainless.

My original plan was to brush and cover the frame with POR15, when i notice the cross member i decided to replace them. My question is would you cover the cross member with POR, something else, or leave them unpainted?

You shouldn't have to worry about rust on stainless, just tarnishing with age. Coat around the stainless to seal the regular steel, though.
