Matt, ping me in MSN tomorrow, I should be able to find the details of a place near my place, they stock POR15 and other goodies... unless some of the lads can remember tonight.

Cheers,
Peter.

I used POR15 on my underside, but due to the surface prep I had problems with area's flaking. So i wire-wheeled it all back and used Gravitex under body coating. I just etch-primed and sprayed it on.

I got it through a local bloke that does metal fabrication (also building his own hot-rod). Its made by U-pol and it uses a special spray gun attachment. We also found it goes on much better when thinned down.

A quick Google shows it on this website:

Use the Marine clean and metal ready.
Can be brushed or sprayed and its a good self leveler when brushed

or even www.vgautopaints.com.au

Shows where to get POR15. Keep in mind I believe it was the prep process that stuffed up my POR15 experience. I still believe it was a great solid product, but I ended up with too much zinc phosphate crap that just wouldn't wash off, so I painted it anyway, low and behold it didn't stick.
