Rust Never Sleeps 200 1990

Great write up, Roadrunner!
I can only add a few things.
POR-15 is a urethane based primer which cures with moisture in the air.
It bonds best to a rough surface or flash rust.
Cure time 1-3 hours to tack.
It has little UV resistance,and a finish coat should be used where it
is exposed to sunlight,unless flat black is desired.Silver is available also.
When cured it is rock hard,practically impossible to sand,and so glossy
that adhesion is a problem for subsequent coatings.
Therefore it is highly desirable to add coats when it is tacky,all the way
to the finish coat. In this case probably Volvo touch-up paint.
Metal Ready contains phosphoric acid control it.
A late model {93} windshield will be the most trouble free.
