Surface preparation and ambient humidity are critical with POR15. It is very susceptible to humidity when applying, and metal that has any contaminate on it whatsoever. I have seen meticulously prepped and applied POR15 come off in strips because it was applied when the humidity was too high. I have also seen it peel right off and leave rust underneath because the surface was not perfect when the POR15 was applied. All that said, I have seen it applied over New Steel and it is still there decades later. With POR15 you must put it on a properly prepared surface in the proper humidity, the drier the better. When POR15 is applied and cured correctly, it is rock hard and is very difficult to remove. When its not, it falls off. I have not had problems with oil based paints.

Thanks for the insight with POR15, we will change our plans and prep the metal first then apply POR15 directly on the metal.
