Marine paint PQ 17 or summat ?

[Hirsty's]

Could anybody tell me of a supplier of this Marine paint which I have heard
is the dogs ....... as far as protection of steel is concerned.
In Kent preferably. I suppose a starting point would be a good chandlers ?
Rear X member requires a little attention now !!

Do you mean POR-15?

frosts (http://www.frost.co.uk) sell it in the UK.

It is pretty good. I did the underside of one of my cars in that and
the other in hammerite. The hammerite has needed re-doing after 12
months but the POR-15 is doing alright after 2 years (though the
POR-15'd car has done less miles)

Cheers; problem is they seem to have 2 types ? Ordinary paint and chassis
paint, which did you use ?

OK thanks for the info. I will get some and have a go. Mind I might try to
wire / grind the rust off and leave a rough surface.
