What is this POR 15 & 20 paint ?

[John Mac]

Iv'e seen a few threads on this POR paint but can't find a website on it.
Is it high temperature suitable for exhausts ?
Will it seal "pinholes" in manifolds ?
Any info. would be appreciated.

It was designed IRC for the Oil industry to stop corrosion on oil pipes, I read up on it last year, one of the points that stuck out particularly was that then rustier and wetter the mettal the stronger the finished solution once por 15 had been applied.

As my chassis was not that rusty, I opted for hamerite & waxoyl.

I doubt it would seal pin holes in manifold, and I don't think it was design as a high temperature paint.

Check out the website www.por15.com

Their website is www.por15.com - they make a range of products. I'm using POR-15 on my 2500 chassis now - we'll see how it holds up. Their Fireseal 2000 may be what you're looking for to seal a manifold but I haven't used it.

POR 20 is a high temperature paint suitable for manifolds. I dunno about it sealing pinholes though.

Thanks for the info.
I have sent them an e mail with the questions and will keep the forum informed.

Agree with dmsims, I buy my paint from there.

agreed with all that, top stuff. But apply in well ventilated area....as you might end up painting everything with it 'IN A DREAM LIKE STATE '

The following answer has been provided by FROST the UK distributors of POR paints.
POR20 and POR manifold grey paint work identically, choose the color you require, cost £16.
To fill any pinholes in the manifolds they recommend using Fireseal 2000 Putty, cost £12.50. Delivery £4.00
