How much por 15?

[matt19857]

I am going to paint my frame this week and I was wondering how much marine clean, metal ready, por 15 and topcoat others have used in order to do just the frame. Thanks!

The Marine clean will depend on how much grease and what not you need to get off, But a gallon will mix up a few gallon of spray, Metal ready could be another gallon that will mix into a few gallons as well, IIRC I bought about a gallon of the POR-15 and topcoat, But I was spraying a bit heavy at times.
Are you having the frame blasted? if so you may not need as much MC, Even if you dont I dont know how well the metal ready will work if its not bare metal.
The Marine clean and Metal ready are nice to have on hand at times.
Remember this is just from memory.
Good luck

Here is a great build thread using POR 15 in the first page or so (and with a lot of Elbow gease). It may answer any questions you have.

Sandblasted my frame & used just Por-15. Took much less than a quart. Follow the directions very carefully and to the letter about not contaminating the paint & resealing the can. Don't ask me how I know this.

1 quart will do a blasted frame. I also added a qt of chassis top coat for a nice satin uv resistant top coat
