POR, = Peels Off Real easy
It only sticks to rust! But the rust keeps growing under the paint.
Next time, Krylon black.
I have been told that there are only 3 or 4 spray can paint suppliers.
Rustoleum, Krylon, Martin Seymour, and somebody else.
All the off brands or "nitch market" spray paints are one of the above,
usually not Rustoleum but Krylon or MS, so go to K-mart and buy one of
these.
Black is black! Chassis black, radiator black, wheel black, frame black,
Eastwood has a marketing idea and we are all suckers.
The same goes for silver paint, take 4 different cans and different
brands, they are all the same other then gloss factors. Same with black.
How many shades of black do you think they make?
Let's see, onyx black, midnight black, black cat (obligory cat subject)
what about 11:00 black, or maybe coal black, oh yeah, carbon black, the
main color in any black.
