Por 15 and New Moog Steering Parts?

I know that Por 15 does not bond that well to painted surfaces. For those who have used Por 15 on there Moog (or any new steering parts) did you have to grind down to bare metal? The only reason I am asking is the paint or oil they put on there does not seem very thick and wanted to know it the Por 15 could go right over it.

Thanks

Kevin

use some wd40 and degrease them, it should stick after the wd40 evaporates and the grease/oil is wiped off

I ended up using brake cleaner and a wire wheel. Worked pretty well.

WD40 is a light machine oil in kerosene, all you’re doing there spraying the parts down with more stuff that POR 15 won’t stick to.

Just use a strong degreaser… most used full strength will strip most protective coatings including light paint…
