The POR15 is a breeze to put on with a brush! Has amazing gloss, about as good as a spray job.You can get some bubbles forming if you put too thick a coat on for the first or second coat but that's rare. I think the biggest cause of problems is a 'bitty' finish. If you brush a place that hasn't been 100% cleaned then the brush picks up some particles and they end up all over the job! Then a rubbing back is mighty hard work, being the toughness of this paint. So the clue is spotless cleaning before starting, and that takes a heap of time. And make sure you use MetalReady thoroughly (twice) before painting.I'm really pleased with the POR finish, it should make future cleaning really easy, and keep any rust away for a long time.How are you progressing with your '51 Charles? You have a big lot to do by the look of it, but at least it is drivable!
