Thanks to DJ, Howard, Pete and Kevin for your help with getting the bed off my truck, prep work for the POR15 and the POR15 painting itself. I only got 6 pics, my cell died but I am sure the other guys got some pics too.

 

heres my addition

 

what are those square blocks on the frame rails? never seen them on mine??

 

Bed overload reinforcement.

They are used on body lifted trucks. I have them, but the shop did the crappiest welding (looks like boogers holding them on)

I plan on taking my bed off as well, and re-welding them.

 

Oh, any finished product pictures?

How did you do all the prep and stuff?

 

Yup!!
Yeah I dont have many but I will load some up. I couldnt finish it all, prep time took a bit. We wire wheeled everything, cleaned it with purple power and rinsed, dried and then painted

 

Our moderator DJ lol

Almost all done!

 

lol i look like im 15

 

I see that Pizza Hut box....

 

So, if you come to the RI/MA meet, ill already know what you look like lol.

lol

 

Looks good, too bad your clear across the state and im a poor college kid

 

Looks good, I will be doing the same to mine soon enough.

 

Not too much rust for being in PA. Looks good!

 

What do you think about that product POR15?

 

Thanks guys

There was alot more than you think. Everytime I laid under my truck the crap fell like rain lol

I have been kind of researching it for a while now. Last year I stripped the whole undercarriage and painted it with VHT chassis paint. The road salt of one winter took it all off. After looking around and trying to find the best thing for it, it came down to the POR15. It seals rust, Hardens and is supposed to leave a gloss finish. It goes on real well and for all we did today, we didn't even a quarter gallon. I can't wait to see it dry!

 

What kind of prep did you do?

 

We wire wheeled everything, cleaned it with purple power and rinsed, dried and then painted

 

I see. Are you gonna do the front part of the frame? I would assume you would leave the cab on and just do as much as you can?

 

I just went to see if the POR15 dried and it has. Hardened and sealed, feels like smooth glass!!! It even has a wet look gloss to it. I am very impressed!!

 

Yeah I am doing everything. It's in the garage now so I can take my time with it. If it comes to jacking the cab up to get it, I'm doing it because you should see it shine now!! I am very happy with it

 

Ive considered doing this, do you spray it with a gun?

 

Nope..paint brush. If you use a gun, alot will go to waste and go everywhere lol

 

Awesome, i may look into doing this next spring

 

I highly recommend it!
