I applied the POR-15 .....20+ years ago to:

Frame , underbody , interior cabin , inner trunk, complete area underneath the vinyl roof.

Does not stick well to the plastic inner fenders and had to redo them years later.

But....all other areas..... Holding up well!!

Progress is progress, I have to pull the Black dash out for it sold Going to a good Home and he is Happy with it for his is Mutilated LOL Anyway I took the Red dash from the Shed rafters wrapped in Plastic and for a reason I am stumped it was scratched to all get out and even had to Fill in a spot or two with glazing putty HMM got me stumped .....

So this brings me to my Nasty looking console I had to do that Before the pretty dash Install oh my word it was Bad the red was almost brownish black from Never being cleaned before I got it, So took hot water with Blue dawn dish soap (doesn't leave a residue) cleaned it up, dried it thoroughly, Then Adhesion Promoter (sit 15 minutes) then another light coat of promoter again, Then plastic primer, then 3 Nice coats of firethorne red YAYYYYY
NOW its ready for install tomorrow after I apply clear coat Let it dry while pulling the Black dash then sit back and enjoy the Nice redone Interior ALL THATS LEFT to paint is the sail panels and the rear side armrest panels THEN ALL DONE Sorta LOL

Looks great, Limey! Don't know what brand or color red you are using, but as a reminder for others on here, I can confirm that the SEM's 15113 Firethorn Red is virtually a perfect match to the factory Firethorn color based on my painting a kick panel and comparing it to my like new original on my Monte.

by Limey SE Sun Jul 03, 2022 3:24 pm

This is what I have found works best together and yes I agree on the SEM branded paint

Limey, I know we have discussed it before, but how long did it take you to remove the dash out of the car. I have always been intrigued about removing the dash. Around 1994 I was going to by a 77 El Camino SS and someone broke into it, stole the stereo and destroyed the dash after I agreed to buy it. I backed out on the sale because I was worried about replacing it.

I have done it a few times LOL This time took me about 45 Minutes to pull it ..... The first and second ones I pulled decades ago took me about 2.5 hours to remove about 3.5 hours to install Just to make sure everything is installed correctly .... Now its almost like like second nature just take your time Pay attention to what you disconnect and where it goes

And now ALMOST READY to reinstall I think while I have dash out I will replace the heater core just makes sense right ?

Getting closer to installing new dash I think tomorrow is a day to stay inside with a forecast saying 106 degrees possible

in Northern Illinois
I did finally get to install that NOS clock finally
