Some POR-15 IMHO*s for you, Patrick. I have used it a fair amount, and it
is very good stuff for a variety of uses. Because it absorbs water as it dries,
it is possible to apply it right over rust, without the subsequent perforation
that would occur if you were to do this with regular paint. You must, however,
wear gloves when using it, because it will ALWAYS get on your hands (that*s its
special charm), and if it dries, will be there for a week. A breather mask is
also
recommended. Spread it VERY thinly, too. I have often noticed that it will
start to drip and bead a half hour or so after you have painted something,
and walked away confident that there were no drips (!)
The Metal Ready primer is not really necessary, providing you wire brush
adequately and make sure the area is clean. POR-15 will also discolor with
exposure to sunlight, so topcoat it if it matters.

Sure, that*s a <fine> idea. Better do the inside of the tub first, then!
