Although I haven't used POR 15 on my engine, I've used it just about everywhere else. I first used it on my Father in-law's Healey 3000. It's miraculous (sp?) stuff! Brush it on with the cheapie brushes and it will smooth out and shine better than powdercoat. Just remember to wear gloves and don't even bother trying to clean clothing that it gets on!

On my cobra, I've used the POR 20 high temp paint on the headers and sidepipes. Some friends have also used it on their musclecars and are very pleased. No flaking and only a 300 deg cure temp. I've also used the POR 15 and Chassis Black on the frame and other suspension pieces. The stuff is tough, easy to apply, and looks great.

I'm in a cold climate also and agree with Zderf; it won't level as good when it's cold. I did some of the final painting at near 40 deg and it looks good, but not as smooth as the stuff at 65 deg.

One tip: put a ziplock between the lid and can when resealing. If not, the lid is darn near impossible to remove once it dries. I've been using a separate cup for the painting and carefully wiping the lip on the can to maintain a clean seal. The stuff does have a somewhat short shelf life if exposed to air.

See my gallery pics for some of the results.
