Hi all,
I want to buy a pint of Stirling Silver topcoat from POR15 but it's really expensive ($27.00 for a pint!). I won't use the whole thing. If anyone wants to split a pint let me know...I guess I could send you what I don't use. I just need to topcoat two wheels.

Or you could use Rustoleum to top coat over the POR-15 (much cheaper). I wish I had done that. I assume you are going to POR something with the black colored POR, then top coat with silver?

"They all leak" haha that's so true.

I used silver POR15 to paint the wheels, they were black and I wanted them to look nice with baby moons. They're the original wheels. I already put Stirling Silver on three, I wonder how Rustoleum would look, if it would match. I'll have to see. I just hate to waste this stuff, it's more expensive than top shelf alcohol.

I used aluminum Rustoleum on the exposed parts of my Caravel frame and on the steel propane tanks and all look great after several years.

Zep, was it spray? I could just spray a spot and if I can't stand it, get the Stirling. The current wheels are just for looks right now anyway, when we seriously start traveling, we're getting wheels that aren't so heavy.
