Look at some internet sites that sell POR-15. They have FAQs and info on the products they sell. You should read their directions.

This is directly from the Por15 website

SPRAY APPLICATION:
Use 30-35 lbs pressure for normal gloss. Reduce pressure for lower gloss (20-25 lbs). Thin only with POR-15 Solvent, if necessary, but do not thin more than 5%.

TO TOPCOAT A FULLY CURED POR-15 SURFACE:
Wet sand with 600 grit until gloss is dull, then paint, or use POR-15 Tie-Coat Primer directly on the cured POR-15 surface, then topcoat as desired. NOTE: Never topcoat a POR-15 surface that hasn't dried, as this will ruin the coat already down.

Use POR-15 Solvent or lacquer thinner for cleanup, which must be done before POR-15 dries. NOTE: Organic vapor particulate respirators, NIOSH/MSHA approved, must be used when spraying POR-15.

Moisture will shorten the life of unused POR-15. See our 'Residual Moisture - Little known Facts' page to learn some little-known facts about residual moisture.

Seal can or jar immediately after using. We recommend placing plastic wrap between lid can and storing in a cool dark place.

I've got to get some of that stuff and give it a try...Havent attempted anything with it yet, but it looks like you get great results when used properly.

Unless it is i a high show area, I wouldn't bother because it has pretty amazing "self leveling" abilities and comes out flat after brushing (the gloss does anyway, that's all I use). You basically can't tell it has been brushed. The other thing though is that if it is a show area or any area for that matter that sees sunlight or reflected sunlight and you want it to look good, forget POR15, UV fades it to a milky colour. It will still give protection but look ****ty. You have to use their chasis coat black or other topcoat if you want it to look good, and those don't have the same self leveling abilities (still not bad though).
