i have that por15. brushed on. it doesnt have the nice even effect as plasti-dip. plus if u used por15 for rims, 1 it wouldnt look good 2 very costly(could powdercoat about the same) . regardless everything has its pros and cons. its just finding a product and trying it out. whatever floats your boat.

depends on the brush, but those foam applicators(edgers) work really well. I, myself actually sprayed most of the paaint. I brushed my trailer and no, it didn't come out as good as spray, but it wasn't too shabby.

For anything wheels..etc..I'd def say spray it, but for other stuff, brush is fine.
I gotta get some of my pics I have up and you will say WOW.

POR 15 is good stuff, ive used it on rear ends and a lot of under body stuff on my camaro. the plasti dip is prolly good for the cheap, smaller plastics and cladding

I wanna see these pics too, just for the hell of it

Question: Which one of these products would be better suited for painting things like emblems and such? Are either high-heat compatible? I don't have any big plans yet, besides maybe painting the badges or something. But I'm still thinking about maybe taping off some design on my wheels and painting'em. So, info is great, keep it coming!
