Triumph TR3-POR-15 Application

After researching (for about 30 minutes) POR-15 sites on the internet I decided to go ahead and coat the bare metal of the chassis side of the floor boards with the remaining POR-15 gray paint I had left over. There was an option of utilizing an etching primer to prep the metal for application of the Tie-Coat Primer but I didn't have etching primer or the motivation to venture out and purchase some. The gray POR-15 paint has a shelf life and I felt it would be probably be wasted unless I used it. I prepped the bare metal with Marine Clean and Metal Prep and applied 2 coats of POR-15. I believe the metal will be better protected by doing so (vrs applying the etching primer) and it will provide a good base coat for the Tie-Coat primer which I will be applying mid week. I also spent some time tidying the garage before applying the paint. Total time in the garage 3 hours.
