      May 5, 2017 at 2:00 pm I want to remove rust and flaking paint and repaint engines. Any thought on products to use? Had someone say to use POR 15. I see POR also has a cleaner to etch the metal.

Ā It requires POR’s thinner solvent, and any spills or overpaint is there forever. Ā Once you open a one pint can, and exposed to air, the paint dries up quickly (6 months). Ā Plus it’s expensive. Ā  I’d recommend plain old Rustoleum. Ā A 50/50 mix of gloss white and gloss almond is a perfect match for Cummins…
