The same coverage rates as standard POR15, however we do suggest thinning the product with our POR15 Solvent (part 40404) when applying by brush or spraying as it is a much thicker product. Typically our suggested thinning rate varies between 10-20%. DIRECTION Stir contents well, then dispense a portion into a separate container and seal can at once, keeping lid and grooves clean to
avoid permanently sealing can shut. Do not paint directly out of can. Like all POR-15 coatings, this should always be stirred, never shaken. Best Dispensing Method: Use coffee scoop or pouring spout. Do not put left-over paint back into can. Thin only with POR-15 Solvent, if necessary. Apply in thin, covering coats. SURFACE PREPARATION Surface to be coated should be dry and free of grease, oil, and other contaminants.
