Ulster body painting

[Ian Williams]

I tried POR 15 a few years ago and was extremely disappointed with it, maybe I did not use the product correctly but rust spread beneath it over a period of time, in my opinion it also goes on way to thick and glossy to look authentic on a vintage car. I have had far better results with other paint systems, and these days stay well away from the snake oil type products. 2K is my product of choice now, tough, minimal if any dry spray, more chip resistant than lacquers, and provided you avoid high build primers and ask for the right percentage gloss the finish is superb. The internal panels and under bonnet finish of a seven were satin black, 50-60% gloss looks about right, and for the exterior 80 to 90% gloss looks right to my eye, 100% gloss is just way too shiny.
